The horror movie from Ryan Coogler is on a pace to collect at least $330 million in worldwide ticket sales, a level reached by few original films in the genre.
The filmmakers said that they hoped the finished product would honor the work and memory of its cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, who was shot and killed on the set.
Ryan Coogler’s original horror film was expected to sell a strong $40 million-plus in tickets over the weekend. But its profitability remains a long way off.
