Flight Risk, with Mark Wahlberg and helmed by Mel Gibson, grossed $950K in previews. It's eyeing an $11M opening for No. 1, Lionsgate's second YTD.

"Flight Risk," an action thriller starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by Mel Gibson, was No. 1 in a glacially slow weekend at the box office.

Like its fellow January release “Den of Thieves: Pantera,” “Flight Risk” follows the Lionsgate blueprint of being a low budget thrill ride financed through slate deals, co-production partnerships and foreign sales that will allow it to clear a low break-even point.
