The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature only made $330,000 on Thursday, and The Glass Castle, Ingrid Goes West, Good Time and The Only Boy Living in New York aren’t expected to be financial heavyweights.
Movies like Get Out and It Comes at Night have been received well by critics and fans alike, and now Annabelle: Creation looks like it will be counted among the successes.
Just like how 2016 delivered hits like Lights Out and Don’t Breathe, 2017 has been a good year for the horror genre so far.
It also helps that the Conjuring prequel doesn’t have much in the way of commercial competition this opening weekend.
