Sure, the reviews are bad, but “Wolf Man” is a horror movie, and the genre absolutely sells these days at the box-office. Leigh Whannell’s disappointing reboot, which cost $25M to make, raked in $1.4M in Thursday previews. It should be able to hit the $20M mark by Sunday evening.
Paul Greengrass’ "The Uprising," starring Andrew Garfield, opened to $3.2M from 2,068 theaters this weekend. Yikes. The budget hasn’t been disclosed, but is said to be in the $20-$30M range.
