With the exit of New Line’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot in what has been a lucrative post Labor Day weekend pre-pandemic, Disney swooped in and booked its 20th Century Studios horror title Barbarian. That pic, directed and written by Zach Cregger, follows a woman staying at an Airbnb, who discovers that the house she has rented is not what it seems. The movie grossed $3.8M on Friday (including $850K Thursday night previews) and is poised to make around $9M, possibly double digits at 2,340 theaters.

SUNDAY AM UPDATE: Some good word of mouth has prompted Disney/20th Century Studios/New Regency’s Barbarian to come in higher than anticipated at $10M; ditto for the their Star Studios’ Brahmastra Part One: Shiva which is at the high end of its estimates at $4.4M in the No. 2 spot.
