Not to be too cute, but Steven King is an undisputed king of the horror genre. His fruitful work as an author will make him a legend, but helps many of his stories are tailored to films over the years. 2017 "That" has become the biggest horror movie ever with over $ 700 million in box office. So, despite a lot of hard competition, did the long -awaited big adaptation of King's "Long Walk" overcome the chances and become another winner? Or is this hill too steep to climb?

From this writing, "Long Walk" is expected to withdraw between $ 6 and $ 11 million at home when it opened next weekend, after Box office theory. That is, of course, not so large. Although the budget has not been revealed, Director Francis Lawrence (Constantine) said. Rant on the screen That they made it for a "small amount of money". If we assume for arguments, that means $ 25 million or less, then that initial number is not a death penalty, especially since we still have ticket sales abroad. The killer, however, can be triggers struggling for market attention.

Also, the opening next weekend will be "Downton Opatija: The Grand Final", which is expected to earn between $ 15 million and $ 20 million. However, the biggest competition is in the form of "Demon Slejer: Kimetu not the castle for infinity", which can withdraw $ 50 million or more when it arrives in the United States The latest entry into the very popular anime franchise has already earned nearly $ 300 million elsewhere in the world, mainly in his native Japan. It is worth remembering that "Democrat Demer: Kimmetu NO JAIBA - Movie: Mugen Train" became unexpectedly huge hit In 2020/2021, even at the top of the graphs in North America. Continue to earn more than $ 500 million globally.

"Spinal Fountain II: The end continues" opens next weekend, but those figures have a muted debut. Last but not least, Disney releases the original "toy story" again. It is very much to choose moviegoers. This is not to say anything about "Conjunction: Last Rituals" that requires a big business and will enter his second weekend.

In the "Long Walk", a boy from each country is chosen to take part in an annual competition where the winner will be given what he wants for the rest of his life. Target? Go at a pace of three miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings, and you are out - permanent. The cast includes Cooper Hoffman ("Pizza Pizza"), David Onsonson ("Alien: Romulus") and Mark Hamil ("Starwell War"), among others.

The film is based on the novel by the same name that was originally published under the name of King's pen, Richard Bachmann. Over the years many, many versions of the film have been developedBut it never happened. Lawrence and Lyonsgate, along with writer JT Maller ("Strange Mila"), got this through the finish. It was the big challenge. The next challenge becomes a carved room for the film in a crowded market.

In addition to a small budget, this film also has critics. The "Long Walk" is filled with mainly dazzling checkupsWhat can help her prospects outside the weekend - especially since the September leaf is not very strong. As we have seen in the summer, the horror is strong in the box office. The "weapons", "final destination blood lines" and "28 years later" were huge hits. The audience will appear for horror. They are loyal viewers.

For what is worth, The deadline It has the new movie "Demon Slayer" that makes a slightly modest amount, between $ 20 million and $ 29 million. The bigger question is, does Anime accidentally pass too much with horror by accident? "Downton Opatija", whatever he does, he definitely goes for a different crowd. "Conjuring" has a direct overlap, but if a word develops for the mouth and keeps this film alive over the weekend, stable competition may not condemn it from the gate. At the very least, its initial figures be a bigger weekend of movies than everyone expected even just weeks ago.

The "Long Walk" hit theaters on September 12, 2025.
