‘Trap’ Nets a Casual $2.2M on Thursday – Who’s Surprised?

Oh, honey, grab your popcorn and settle in, because Hollywood Hrishita is about to spill some juicy tea on the latest box office drama! 🍿🎬

So, guess who’s back with another twisty thriller? Yep, our old friend M. Night Shyamalan, and this time he’s got Josh Hartnett playing a serial killer in his new flick "Trap." 🎭🪤

Shyamalan’s latest cinematic ride, which kicked off with a cool $2.2 million from previews, is all set to rake in somewhere between $15 million and $20 million this weekend. But let’s be real, sweetie—it’s not even going to come close to last week’s box office titan, Disney’s "Deadpool & Wolverine." 💪🎥

The Marvel juggernaut is on track to add a casual $75 million to $95 million in its second weekend. Sure, it’s a 55% to 65% drop after its mind-blowing $211 million debut, but it’s still going to crush everything in its path. 🙌

Plot Twist Alert! 🚨

In "Trap," Josh Hartnett’s character, Cooper, takes his teenage daughter Riley to a sold-out concert for Lady Raven, played by none other than Shyamalan’s daughter, Saleka. Surprise, surprise—Cooper is actually a serial killer known as The Butcher, and the concert is a police trap to catch him. Ah, classic Shyamalan! The cast also features Kid Cudi, Hayley Mills, Tim Russ, and Alison Pill. 🎤🔪

But wait, there’s more! Universal’s "Twisters" is also in the mix, aiming for a $17 million to $19 million haul in its third weekend. And let’s not forget Sony’s family-friendly "Harold and the Purple Crayon," starring Zachary Levi, which is expected to draw in a modest $6 million to $7 million after making $725,000 in previews. 🌀🖍️

Moral of the Story: If you want to catch a killer, do it at a concert. And if you want to conquer the box office, just throw a superhero (or two) into the mix. 🎶🦸‍♂️

What a wild ride, darlings! Until next time, keep your eyes peeled and your popcorn ready. 🍿✨
