Box Office: ‘Blink Twice’ and ‘The Crow’ to Close Strong Summer Movie Season With a Whimper


This weekend at the box office will be sluggish as two new releases -- Zoe Kravitz's "Blink Twice" and "The Crow" reboot -- target middling debuts.

This weekend at the box office will be sluggish as two new releases — director Zoe Kravitz’s twisted thriller “ Blink Twice ” and “ The Crow ” reboot starring Bill Skarsgård — target middling debuts. “Blink Twice” is the directorial debut of Kravitz, known for her roles in “Fantastic Beasts,” “The Batman,” Steven Soderbergh’s “Kimi” and Hulu’s series “High Fidelity.” The R-rated psychological thriller has mostly positive reviews (it holds an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes) and follows a cocktail waitress (Naomi Ackie) who meets a tech billionaire (Channing Tatum, Kravitz’s fiancee) and travels to his private island for a luxurious party where things begin to take a sinister turn. “Blink Twice” reportedly carries a $20 million budget, so it should be decently positioned in its theatrical run even if the film doesn’t hit double digits in its box office debut.
