“I Know What You Did Last Summer” slashed its way to $2.2 million in Thursday previews, while A24‘s “Eddington,” a satire set during the height of the pandemic, picked up $625,000. Paramount’s “Smurfs,” the weekend’s other major new release, didn’t hold preview screenings.

The three films, which are aimed at vastly different age groups and demographics, are unlikely to unseat “Superman” from its throne. The superhero reboot dominated the domestic box office last weekend, earning $125 million and is expected to repeat as champ, earning $55 million to $62 million in its second weekend of release. That would be a 50% to 55% drop, a respectable result that “Superman,” which was well-liked by critics and audiences, should pull off. The film needs to keep packing in crowds as it cost $225 million to produce and is intended to launch a new phase of superhero films for DC Studios and its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery. Next up are “Supergirl” and “Clayface,” two interconnected spinoffs that will open in 2026 with a Wonder Woman movie on the horizon. So far, “Superman” has earned $177.7 million stateside over its first week of release.

“I Know What You Did Last Summer” is projected to gross $15 million to $17 million in its debut weekend. With a modest $18 million price tag, that should position the Columbia Pictures and Screen Gems’ production to turn a profit. The film is the latest in a long line of horror movies and shares its title with the 1998 original. The latest sequel introduces newcomers like Madelyn Cline and Chase Sui Wonders, but brings back franchise veterans Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt for more on-screen bloodletting.

One of its victims may be “Smurfs,” which should pick up $10 million to $12 million in its debut, a disappointing result for the $58 million Paramount Animation production. Rihanna leads the voice cast of “Smurfs,” playing Smurfette, with an ensemble that also includes James Corden, Nick Offerman, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer and John Goodman.

“Eddington” is directed by Ari Aster (“Hereditary”), stars Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal and follows infighting in a small town over all things COVID-19. Look for “Eddington” to ride its hot-button take on lockdown politics to a $5 million opening.
