Box Office: ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ to Lead Again as ‘Speak No Evil’ Targets $10 Million


"Speak No Evil," a remake of the Danish horror film, is expected to earn $10 million in its box office debut.

Horror is usually one of the most reliable big screen genres, but other than Disney’s “Alien: Romulus” ($314 million globally) and Neon’s sleeper hit “Longlegs” ($103 million globally), recent offerings haven’t popped at the box office. James Watkins (“Bastille Day”) directed “Speak No Evil,” a pitch-black comedy of manners about a couple — starring James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis — who invite two friends to their vacation at their idyllic, remote home in the countryside. The film, directed by J. J. Perry, follows Bautista as a veteran assassin who learns that his terminal medical diagnosis was wrong… forcing him to fend off a hit he placed on himself.
