Hollywood is pulling out the stops this summer movie season, which kicks off with Friday's release Marvel’s “Thunderbolts*.”.

With the box office success of “Smile,” “The Black Phone" and his “Barbarian” this year, writer-director Zach Cregger says it’s clear that “original horror is working right now.”.

The horror film “Barbarian” won the weekend as the late-summer doldrums at the box office continued.
