The First Omen‘s box office plight has worsened during its opening weekend. The new movie is a prequel to the 1976 horror classic The Omen, which was the seventh highest-grossing movie of that year and went on to get two Oscar nominations, winning one. It is currently on a path to earn more than $8 million in its opening weekend, which is the second-best debut in the franchise but doesn’t make up for its $30 million budget. It was previously projected to take No. 3 on the chart behind Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and Monkey Man.
