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.
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.
