‘Don’t Breathe’ Can Exhale, on Track to Double Expectations With $22 Million Opening

Don't Breathe Box Office Scary Thriller Horror Movie

After three straight weekends at No. 1, Warner Bros. comic book hit “Suicide Squad” is finally going down — and landing harder than initially expected.

Screen Gems and Stage 6 Films horror thriller “Don’t Breathe” has gained a huge amount of momentum and is poised to double initial expectations to end the weekend close to $22 million. It looks likely to steal the spot from “Suicide Squad” and beat it by roughly $10 million.

The scary movie, about a group of friends who decide to rob a wealthy blind man, made $10 million on Friday from 3,051 screens.

Earlier this week, distributor Sony anticipated it would pull in a total of $11 million to $12 million this weekend.
