‘Deadpool’ Sweeps the Box Office, While ‘Trap’ Makes a Modest $6.7 Million Splash

Ah, the glitzy world of Hollywood! Where superheroes team up, thrillers attempt to thrill, and crayons
 well, they try their best. Let’s dive right into the latest box office shenanigans, shall we? 😏

Deadpool & Wolverine: The Dynamic Duo Strikes Again! 🎬

So, our beloved "Marvel Jesus" is back for a second coming, and boy, is he coming in hot! "Deadpool & Wolverine" raked in a whopping $28.3 million on Friday alone. Yep, you read that right! This mismatched superhero bromance has already crossed the $300 million mark domestically, outpacing "Despicable Me 4" and "Dune: Part Two." Talk about flexing those box office muscles! đŸ’Ș

Now, usually, superhero flicks drop faster than my patience for bad Bollywood remakes, but not this one! Rivals are whispering about a 55% drop, which is peanuts in superhero land. Plus, it’s still packing premium screens like Imax. Clearly, Reynolds and Jackman have more appeal than a free buffet at a Bollywood wedding. đŸ±

And guess what? "Deadpool & Wolverine" is set to break the highest domestic gross for an R-rated film, a record held by "The Passion of the Christ" for over 20 years. Move over, religious epics; irreverent humor and sharp claws are in town! đŸŸ

M. Night Shyamalan’s “Trap”: Is It a Trap for Viewers? đŸ€”

Speaking of tension, M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller "Trap" is holding its own with $6.7 million from Friday and previews. That’s better than his last flick, "Knock at the Cabin," but let’s not get too excited. The film stars Josh Hartnett as a serial killer at a pop concert. Yeah, you heard me. đŸŽ€đŸ”Ș

Self-financed by Shyamalan and distributed by Warner Bros., "Trap" got a "C+" from Cinema Score. Ouch. Not exactly the grade you want to bring home to mom. But hey, it’s on track for a $15 million weekend, so maybe there’s still hope? đŸ€·â€â™€ïž

Harold and the Purple Crayon: Coloring Outside the Lines đŸ–ïž

Next up, we have Sony’s "Harold and the Purple Crayon," which is, unfortunately, getting waxed. Only $2.4 million on opening day? Yikes. With a $40 million budget, this one’s looking shakier than a Bollywood plot twist. 📉

Despite positive audience reactions (an “A-” grade on Cinema Score), terrible reviews and a projected $6 million debut aren’t painting a pretty picture. Sorry, Harold, but it looks like you might be coloring outside the top five this weekend. 🚾

Twisters: Spinning Into Second Place đŸŒȘ

Amblin’s "Twisters" is still swirling around the box office, landing in second place again. A neat $22 million in its third weekend marks just a 37% drop. Kudos to you, nature’s fury! You’ve now out-grossed "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" and secured your spot as the eighth-highest domestic release of the year. 🌎

—

Despicable Me 4: Minions Still Have It! đŸ„ł

And let’s not forget "Despicable Me 4," still charming the socks off everyone in its fifth weekend. With $11.1 million projected over three days and a mere 24% drop, it continues to make waves. It crossed the $300 million mark domestically this week. Only three titles have done that this year. Go, Minions! 🚀

Moral of the Story: 🎬

In the wild world of Hollywood, superheroes reign supreme, thrillers may or may not thrill, and sometimes, not even a magic crayon can save you. Stay tuned for more twists, turns, and box office burns! đŸ”„
