News Summary

• Zach Cregger's "Weapons" killed it at the box office in its opening weekend.
• Now, The Hollywood Reporter has let slip that Cregger is mulling a potential prequel film centered on Gladys.
• The source of Gladys' powers is left largely unexplained since the film is more interested in the bloody consequences of her actions.
• Still, if THR's sources are correct and the Gladys chapter was cut for length and not its quality, then that's a sign a prospective prequel could heighten the film's dreadful power without detracting from it.
