‘Don’t Worry Darling’ scores big on its opening night

The Olivia Wilde-directed psych thriller took home $9.4 million on its opening night Friday, according to IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.
The flick, which The Post called “too obvious,” is predicted to enjoy a $75.4 million domestic run, according to Forbes.
Long before its debut, it had already generated buzz because of rumors that Wilde, 38, is dating the film’s leading man, 28-year-old British megastar Harry Styles.
Flying into second place was the 4K re-release of 2009 Oscar-winner “Avatar,” with an over $3.3 million take.

Fans of the sci-fi blockbuster are awaiting its sequel, “Avatar: The Way of Water,” which comes to theaters on Dec. 16.
“The Woman King,” which was in first place last week, was dethroned to third, earning close to $3 million. The historical epic has pulled in $28 million since its Sept. 16 premiere.
Thriller “Barbarian,” which the Wall Street Journal called ” a promising horror debut,” landed in fourth with sales of over $1.4 million. The slasher-at-an-Airbnb flick has taken in $25 million domestically and $1 million internationally since it debuted Sept. 9.
