The reboot has garnered more than $1 million in Thursday previews facing off against the Keke Palmer and SZA-led comedy One of Them Days.
Wolf Man, a reboot of the 1941 horror classic The Wolf Man, is directed by Upgrade, The Invisible Man, and Insidious Chapter 3 filmmaker Leigh Whannell.
It follows a family’s relocation from San Francisco to Oregon after its patriarch, Blake (Christopher Abbott), inherits his childhood home.
It soon takes a terrifying turn when a werewolf attacks and injures Blake. He then begins to evolve into something that may endanger his wife and daughter.
Universal and Blumhouse’s latest feature has accumulated a total of $1.4 million in Thursday previews and is expected to earn $17 million to $21 million in its opening weekend, according to Variety.
