Smile is beating up Bros at the weekend box office - The A.V. Club
Per Variety, Parker Finn’s film is set to bring in $19 million from moviegoers this weekend, recovering its entire $17 million budget in one fell swoop, and making it the biggest box office performer of the week.
The film stars Sosie Bacon—who’s been getting strong reviews for the performance, including a recent shout-out from Stephen King—as a psychologist who becomes haunted by a mysterious curse after witnessing a patient’s suicide.
Among other things, that $19 million figure puts Smile well ahead of the other big opener this weekend: The Billy Eichner-led Bros, which is currently projected to score $4.7 million from rom-com fans.
