The survival thriller is expected to bring in 10 million in its opening weekend, and the film cost 36 million to produce, not to mention more to promote. Internationally, “Beast” has already earned 4.9 million.
Elba plays a father who travels to South Africa with his two daughters, and while in the savannah he faces the titular predator in “Beast” — a rogue, ferocious lion. The cast includes Sharlto Copley, Iyana Halley and Leah Jeffries.
Domestically, “Beast” looks like it’ll be tamed by the anime movie “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero,” the latest feature in the long-running and popular “Dragon Ball” series. Released by Crunchyroll, which specializes in Japanese anime films and TV series,...
