The Brad Pitt-led high-octane assassins-on-a-train thriller “Bullet Train” is reportedly on track to bring in $30 million or more this weekend at the U.S. domestic box-office according to early projections.
That will be enough for the R-rated film to easily top the charts, but is a little lower than expected for the Sony Pictures release which comes with a fairly substantial $90 million production budget.
Pitt stars as Ladybug, an assassin on the verge of retirement until he’s pulled back in by his handler, who tasks him with collecting a briefcase on a bullet train that’s going from Tokyo to Kyoto. What he doesn’t initially realize is that there are other trained killers on board looking to accomplish a similar mission.
Joey King, Brian Tyree Henry, Michael Shannon, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Sandra Bullock and Bad Bunny co-star. Reviews have been mixed and sit at 60% on Rotten Tomatoes.
