M. Night Shyamalan’s sixteenth movie Trap was released into theaters by Warner Bros. less than a month ago, and we’ve learned that the film is already coming home this week.
Own Trap on Digital beginning Friday, August 30.
The current worldwide total for Trap is $71.5 million, which is just about sandwiched in between the worldwide totals for Shyamalan’s two previous thrillers. Old finished its box office run with $90 million back in 2021, while last year’s Knock at the Cabin ended with $54 million.
Saleka Shyamalan stars alongside Josh Hartnett and Ariel Donoghue.
“A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “It’s a simple thriller in terms of plotting, but the film’s complexities lie within its deeply complicated characters. Much like the duality of Cooper/The Butcher, Trap also plays like two halves. The first is every bit as cheeky, warm, and even silly as Cooper’s dad persona. The second is a riveting series of standoffs, delivering tension and thrills as the Butcher drops the act. Both halves are vital to Shyamalan’s thriller, but it only really comes alive when the Butcher’s shackles come off.”
Trap is the first film Shyamalan has made under his new deal with Warner Bros., which has been described as a “multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement.”
