The horror-thriller “Don’t Breathe” scared up a solid $1.9 million on Thursday night at 2,500 North American locations.
The Sony-Screen Gems movie has been forecast to lead a mild weekend at the domestic box with about $12 million at 3,051 sites. That should be enough to top the fourth frame of Warner Bros.’ “Suicide Squad,” which is expected to gross in the $10 million range and finish the weekend with more than $280 million in the U.S.
Lionsgate’s “Mechanic: Resurrection” launched mildly on Thursday night with $390,000 at 1,800 locations.
“Don’t Breathe,” directed by Fede Alvarez, centers on a group of teenagers who break into the home of a blind man in order to steal money, only to find themselves in a desperate fight to stay alive. The film, financed by Sony Pictures’ Stage 6 Films and produced for less than $10 million, has been building buzz for its core fan audience with screenings at Comic-Con and SXSW.
