Don't Breathe almost doubled its tracking last weekend. With great word of mouth and a strong hold over last weekend, it'll have a strong hold this weekend and be another hugely profitable horror film. Hollywood could learn a lot from the horror hits of this summer. (More on that when I do my summer movie wrap-up next week.) Morgan and The Light Between Oceans are the only openers and neither looks to put a dent in the box-office. Hell Or High Water gets another expansion, while last week's Hands of Stone is also getting an expansion despite not making $2m. Soft drops for the family films and Bad Moms, the sleeper of the summer.
