'Bullet Train' takes the top spot at the Friday box office, earning $12.6 Million with the hopes of bringing in $30 Million over the weekend.
Sony’s Bullet Train rolled into theaters with $12.6 million on Friday, after $4.6 million in Thursday previews. The studio is still anticipating a $30 million opening weekend, although the stylized action film could possibly come in under expectations by around $2 million. Directed by David Leitch and starring Brad Pitt as an assassin who faces off against a gauntlet of mercenaries on a bullet train in Japan, the film is playing in over 4,300 domestic locations.

But that film also had the unified star power of Leonardo DiCaprio, Quentin Tarantino, and Margot Robbie on its side. Bullet Train has an exciting ensemble of its own, though; Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Joey King, Brian Tyree Henry, Michael Shannon, Sandra Bullock and Bad Bunny co-star.
