Synopsis
The Blackening centers around a group of Black friends who reunite for a Juneteenth weekend getaway only to find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a twisted killer. Forced to play by his rules, the friends soon realize this ain’t no motherf****** game. The Blackening skewers genre tropes and poses the sardonic question: if the entire cast of a horror movie is Black, who dies first?

Warner Bros.’ big bet of the Summer arrives in theaters this weekend, and The Flash looks as though it will set the new DC Universe on its way at a reasonable pace with an opening in the region of $70 million. With Elemental also looking at a weekend somewhere around $50 million, and The Blackening offering some counter-programming, we’re in for a big weekend at the box office.
