The mixed reviews are slowly starting to trickle in for M. Night Shyamalan’s “Trap” — 60 on Metacritic (17 reviews) 48% Rotten Tomatoes (50 reviews). The film earned $2.2M in Thursday previews and is headed toward a $15M-17M opening weekend. No surprise, “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which nabbed $18M on Thursday, will dominate again, it’s set to earn a second weekend tally of $90M-$100m.
The ‘Smile’ franchise has a new director. David Bruckner, who made “The Night House” and the 2022 “Hellraiser” reboot, has been hired to direct “Smile 3” for Paramount.
