“Bullet Train,” Columbia Pictures’ R-rated action film starring Brad Pitt, made 4.6 million at the box office in its Thursday preview screenings, which began at 3 p.m. from 3,595 locations. It opens wide on over 4,300 screens this weekend.
“Bullet Train” may be the last major release of the summer in what will become a relatively quiet period at the box office after it opens, and Sony is in some ways counting on the fact that it will allow the film to leg out beyond its opening weekend. The studio is projecting a 30 million start for the film against a 90 million budget.
For some comparisons, “Free Guy” with Ryan Reynolds opened last August and made 28.4 million in its opening after first bringing in 2.2 million at the Thursday box office.

Brad Pitt seemed as surprised as anyone when asked at the Bullet Train premiere tonight about his impending retirement.
Pitt had a semi-humorous and very visceral reaction to the question, which was prompted by a recent GQ interview. On the red carpet tonight, he laughed and spun halfway around as if embarrassed before coming back with, “No, I mean…I really have to work on my phrasing.”
He continued, “I was just saying, ‘I’m past middle age and I want to be specific about how I I spend those last things however they may be.’ “
Asked about specifics on those specifics, Pitt said, “I’ve never been a five year plan kind of guy. I’m just, whatever feels right for the day. I still operate that way.”

Brad Pitt has his hands full — and then some — in the colorful new trailer for the upcoming Columbia Pictures action thriller “Bullet Train.”
Directed by David Leitch, the filmmaker behind “Atomic Blonde” and “Deadpool 2,” the film is based on the book “Maria Beetle” by Kotaro Isaka. It follows an unlucky assassin (code name Ladybug) whose latest mission puts him on a collision course with lethal adversaries from across the globe. That this all happens largely on a speeding bullet train in Japan makes the fight all the more difficult, but this new trailer shows Pitt’s character keeping a swell sense of humor in the midst of the violence.
Sandra Bullock co-stars as Pitt’s handler in the second of two films to team up the A-listers, with the first being “The Lost City,” in which Pitt played a dreamy trainer opposite Bullock’s romance novelist.

Brad Pitt is back in action movie mode in the first trailer for “Bullet Train,” which finds the actor battling a gaggle of stylish assassins on a train speeding through Japan.
Based on the book “Maria Beetle” by Kotaro Isaka, “Bullet Train” is directed by “Deadpool 2” and “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” filmmaker David Leitch – who also happens to be Pitt’s former stunt double. Leitch made his filmmaking debut co-directing the first “John Wick,” and brings his penchant for colorful and stylish action to the enclosed setting of “Bullet Train.”
Pitt nearly worked with Leitch on “Deadpool 2” as he was approached for the role of Cable, ultimately played by Josh Brolin. But the two connected in short order on “Bullet Train,” which puts Pitt front and center.

“Bullet Train” went off with a bang at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Monday.
The first-ever footage from the Brad Pitt action thriller was screened at the annual convention of movie theater owners during an opening night presentation from Sony Pictures.
Directed by “Atomic Blonde” helmer David Leitch, the movie follows five assassins on a high-speed train who realize their assigned targets are related. The footage boasts the aesthetic we’ve come to expect from Leitch: high-contrast glamour with bareknuckle violence.
Anyone thinking this was Pitt’s attempt to slip into a Tom Ford suit and brandish a gun like a typical leading man, rest easy. His character, listed only as “Ladybug,” is a drifter rocking hiking boots and a faded tweed coat on Leitch’s gorgeous and claustrophobic train.

Exclusive: In a $30 million deal, Netflix has acquired worldwide rights to The Guilty, with Jake Gyllenhaal starring and Antoine Fuqua directing a dramatic thriller based on the Gustav Möller-directed Danish drama Den Skyldige that premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. Deadline revealed a week ago that the package was being brought to the marketplace by Endeavor Content with a script by True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto.
Netflix moved quickly. The streamer has been very aggressive in recent weeks, acquiring the Halle Berry-directed Bruised for $20 million just before it screened as a work in progress at the Toronto Film Festival; Pieces of a Woman for $10 million, and the Sam Levinson-directed Zendaya-John David Washington starrer Malcolm & Marie for $30 million, all out of the TIFF market. Netflix now bolsters its slate with The Guilty, a film expected to begin production before year’s end.
