‘Iron Lung’ smokes its competition on its opener…
It breathed life into the box workplace and smoked the competition.
“Iron Lung” was No. 1 in theaters on its opener Friday, taking in $8.9 million, according to The Numbers.
The sci-fi horror, based on a video game, is ready in the post-apocalyptic future after an event dubbed “The Quiet Rapture,” causes sudden darkness.
“This deeply flawed attempt still stands as a testament to what happens when actual gamers make video game movies,” IndieWire said of the movie, directed by video game developer David Szymanski.

In the second spot was “Send Help,” with $7.2 million in income on its opening day.
The horror comedy stars Rachel McAdams as a company strategist and Dylan O’Brien as her new boss who discover themselves stranded on an tropical island after a aircraft crash.
“Melania,” the documentary on the first woman, which chronicles the 20 days previous to President Trump’s second inauguration in 2025, took third, with sales of $2.9 million.

The sci-fi action thriller “Mercy,” which was in first place last Friday, fell to fifth, with earnings of $1.3 million.
