**Robert Pattinson’s star power and Gen Z audience turnout drove “Primetime’s” solid $19.2 million opening weekend for A24, positioning the film for a likely second-weekend gross in the 7-9 million range that currently leads trader consensus at 69.5%.** The true-crime thriller about Chris Hansen and “To Catch a Predator” earned strong reviews (87% on Rotten Tomatoes) after its Venice premiere, with exit polls showing 69% of opening-weekend buyers under 30 and Pattinson cited as the top draw by most. Its modest $15 million budget and efficient per-theater averages helped it outperform expectations despite finishing fourth behind re-releases and bigger studio titles. Typical front-loaded drops for star-driven originals in a crowded marketplace, plus weaker international results, support the market’s heavy weighting toward a mid-single-digit to low-double-digit second frame while leaving room for upside if word-of-mouth sustains.
