‘Wolf Man’ Howls to $1.4 Million in Sneak Peeks

Ah, the Hollywood box office – where fortunes rise and fall faster than a Bollywood dance sequence! 🎬✨

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a howling full moon at the cinemas this weekend! Enter Universal and Blumhouse’s "Wolf Man," a reboot that’s already sniffed out $1.4 million from eager Thursday night audiences. 🐺 Meanwhile, Sony’s comedy "One of Them Days" is hot on its tail with $1.3 million in previews, ready to unleash its laughter across the theaters.

Now, gather ’round, my dear cinephiles, as we dive into the projections. "Wolf Man," under the direction of "The Invisible Man" maestro Leigh Whannell, is expected to claw its way to a roaring $17 million to $21 million over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. Not a bad haul for a $25 million investment! With Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner leading the charge, this flick promises enough thrills to keep you on the edge of your seat, or perhaps howling at the screen.

On the flip side, we have "One of Them Days," a charming comedy romp. Imagine Keke Palmer and SZA (yes, her acting debut!) as two besties going to extreme lengths to pay their rent and dodge eviction. Produced by the fabulous Issa Rae, this film is packing a punch with a production cost of just $14 million. A cinematic bargain, wouldn’t you say?

Both films are set to duke it out under the spotlight, with “Wolf Man” banking on its classic monster appeal, while “One of Them Days” offers a refreshing comedic escape. 🎭

Moral of the Story: In the grand theater that is the box office, sometimes it’s the monsters that rake in the moolah, and sometimes it’s the laughter that steals the show. But hey, whether it’s fangs or funny bones, Hollywood sure knows how to keep us entertained! 💸🧛‍♂️
