LOS ANGELES -- “Candyman” hooked the top spot at the North American box office.The Universal Pictures film starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II impressively pulled in more than $22.3 million through a quiet weekend despite concerns over the delta variant.

Candyman is starting strong!

Angelique Jackson When the first trailer debuted for “Candyman” — director Nia DaCosta and producer Jordan Peele’s “spiritual sequel” to the 1992 horror classic — there was a great deal of buzz about the use of a slowed-down remix of Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name” alongside the original movie’s haunting score.But upon further reflection — the needle drop was an early hint at the way DaCosta and Peele’s take would examine deeper social themes.

Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld and DaCosta, stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as artist Anthony McCoy, who draws inspiration from the remnants of Chicago’s now-gentrified Cabrini-Green neighborhood and subsequently gets sucked into the lore of the titular killer with a hook for a hand.

“Candyman,” the horror film from director Nia DaCosta and co-writer Jordan Peele, made $1.9 million at the box office in its Thursday night previews from 2,750 theaters with showings beginning at 7 p.m. It opens on 3,569 North American theaters.“Candyman,” an MGM film released by Universal, is a contemporary reimagining and spiritual sequel to the 1992 cult classic of the same name.Universal is projecting the film to open in the mid-teens this weekend.

Candyman (★★☆☆☆) don’t have to wait long before the mythical boogeyman materializes to dig his hook into whomever should be so bold as to summon him.Historically speaking, and as one character aptly puts it, “Black people don’t need to be summoning shit.” As the film asserts, Black folks have suffered enough pain and degradation over centuries without conjuring up a phantom murderer just for kicks.

highly enjoyable sequel, co-written by the brilliant Jordan Peele of “Get Out,” Win Rosenfeld and Nia DaCosta. The film, which is in theaters Friday, is a million times better than the two godawful ’90s follow-ups, has a crystal clear political take and tackles gentrification, cops and more.
