‘Zombieland 3’ In 2029? Ruben Fleischer Talks Threequel Hopes, Turning Down A ‘Mission: Impossible’ Movie, Lessons From Tom Rothman & Mike White And More — Career Retrospective Q&A The social media reach for the threequel across TikTok, YouTube, X, Instagram and Facebook is close to 300 million followers, well ahead of the second installment’s 126.5 million nine years ago (in a completely different social media landscape) and ahead of such crime capers as Sony’s Caught Stealing (134.5M). RelishMix spotted positive word of mouth ahead of opening: “Nostalgia fires up intent as fans clock the returning vibe and want the caper back on the big screen. You can feel the fist-pump energy in lines like ‘The OG’s are back’ and ‘We’re so back,’ and the Zombieland-style reunion chatter (‘Imagine the Zombieland reunion,’ ‘Magician Avengers let’s go’) reframes this as comfort-food spectacle. Second, the title finally lands as a shareable joke and a tiny masterstroke of brand repair; ‘Finally… they used ‘Now You Don’t’’.” There’s even goodwill for the movie coming out as far away as Taiwan. The previous opening high (though not No. 1) for Lionsgate this year was it John Wick spinoff Ballerina at $24.5M during the first weekend of June. While not a success on its own for the franchise in the end — $58M stateside and $137.2M worldwide on a $90M+ production cost — the spinoff reportedly drove market value to the library of the Keanu Reeves action IP. ‘The Running Man’ Paramount Second this weekend will be a fight between 20th Century Studios’ second weekend of Predator: Badlands and Paramount’s Edgar Wright reboot of The Running Man with Glen Powell, both hovering around $15M apiece. The latter is playing 3,534 theaters and eyeing a $5.5M Friday, while Badlands is seeing $4M in its second Friday at 3,725 sites. No RT score yet for Running Man. If Badlands hits $15M, that’s a 63% decline for a 10-day cume by Sunday of $68.3M. 2004’s Alien vs. Predator is currently the highest-grossing title in the franchise with $80.2M stateside and $177.4M worldwide. Paramount’s Regretting You continues to hold in the top 5 at 2,709 theaters with $1.1M in its fourth Friday and a fourth frame of $3.8M, -43%, with a running cume of $44.7M.
