The sequel film “Deadpool & Wolverine” is enjoying massive success at the box office, having already surpassed $300 million domestically and ranking as the second-highest-grossing release of the year. The film is expected to have a strong second weekend, defying the usual drop in box office numbers for superhero blockbusters. It has also broken records for the highest domestic gross for an R-rated film. Meanwhile, M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller “Trap” is also doing well at the box office, despite negative reviews. The film is projected to debut in third place with a gross exceeding $15 million. Additionally, the children’s book adaptation “Harold and the Purple Crayon” is struggling at the box office, earning a meagre $2.4 million on its opening day. The film is at risk of debuting outside of the top five domestically. “Twisters” and “Despicable Me 4” continue to perform well in their respective third and fifth weekends of release, with “Twisters” surpassing $170 million to become the eighth-highest-grossing release of the year. Overall, the box office is filled with strong contenders and surprise successes in a competitive market.
