‘Weapons' Second Trailer: Josh Brolin Wants To Know What Happened To Those Missing Kids
Talk about taboo. Zach Cregger's second horror movie, Weapons, goes right for the jugular tapping into the sheer human fear of missing children. The second trailer shows more of that school board meeting where Josh Brolin's Dad character demands, 'I wanna know what happened in that classroom!' — questioning why 17 kids are missing from that specific classroom at this Americana school.
'Why just her classroom!' Brolin's character shouts. Julia Garner's principal — well, she's all thumbs.

A young girl's voiceover tries to tell us why a group of kids fled their bedrooms in the middle of the night.
'This is a true story that happened right here in my town,' she says, 'a lot of people die in a lot of really weird ways in this story.'
'Those kids walked out of those homes, no one pulled them out,' continues Brolin's protag.
And there's a lot of gross images here too (read, man running down the street and through a bodega with a bleeding face).
Cregger wrote Weapons. The movie also stars Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, Toby Huss and June Diane Raphael. Cregger's previous' horror movie, Barbarian, from New Regency and 20th Century Fox made over $45M worldwide off a $4M production cost before P&A.
Weapons was originally expected to open over MLK 2026, but Warners got so excited for it after great test scores, they moved it to Aug. 8. The Burbank, CA lot is on a roll when it comes to horror this year with Ryan Coogler's Sinners which stands at $363.7M and Final Destination: Bloodlines, the highest grossing movie in the 25-year old franchise with $280M worldwide.
