Hey, pals! Get ready because everything is about to get real slow at the box office as Labor Day weekend kicks in. A time infamously known for slow sales. We saw a pretty sad performance last weekend with both ‘The Crow' and ‘Blink Twice' not making the mark. But hold onto your hats because this weekend might be even quieter!
Key Takeaways:
– Labor Day weekend is predicted to be quiet at the box office.
– ‘AfrAId', the AI thriller, is the only wide-release this week but isn't expected to make a significant impact.
– Reagan, Dennis Quaid's biopic about Ronald Reagan, anticipates a $5 million opening.
– The superhero duo, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,' is set for a $10 million weekend, while ‘Alien: Romulus' expected to bag $8 million.
– Next in line is ‘It Ends With Us,' aiming for around $7 million.
Let's delve deeper into this weekend's box office chatter!
The Solitary Wide Release – AfrAId
First up, we've got something for the thrill-seekers – AfrAId. It's the only wide-release flick this weekend. Though it didn't screen for critics, we have our review coming up tomorrow for you all! Honestly, nobody is expecting this movie to make any waves at the box office. At best, it might open in fourth place with about $6 million. Not a fail, but not a win either.
Faith-Based Biopic – Reagan
Next on the menu is the Dennis Quaid's biopic called ‘Reagan.' Quaid seems excited about his reverence-filled performance. He's pushing hard for a faith-based audience to get on board his cinematic trip down memory lane. Other than ‘The Chosen,' these faith-targeting movies have not been picking up much wind. Despite last year's hits like ‘Sound of Freedom' and ‘Jesus Revolution.' A $5 million opening in 5th place seems to be the best guess for this movie.
The Battle for The Top: Deadpool & Wolverine Vs. Alien: Romulus
If you're a fan of superhero movies, good news awaits you! ‘Deadpool & Wolverine' is expected to lead the race with an anticipated $10 million weekend. Unfortunately, their reign will be short-lived. It's predicted that ‘Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice' is storming straight for the top spot next weekend.
Right on their heels, though, is ‘Alien: Romulus,' hoping for a second-place finish with an estimated haul of around $8 million. It's going to be a thrilling box office battle, that's for sure!
Sneaky Third Place: It Ends With Us
Surprisingly, ‘It Ends With Us' could potentially make a leap from third to second place. They're eyeing a cool $7 million, but who knows? They could end up surprise us all!
Here's how I think things might shake out:
1. Deadpool & Wolverine: $10 million
2. Alien: Romulus: $8 million
3. It Ends With Us: $7 million
4. AfrAId: $6 million
5. Reagan: $5 million
It might be a slow weekend, but it's still a fun guessing game! So, what's going to be your pick for the weekend? Drop your thoughts in the comments. Every prediction counts!
To wrap up, even if it's going to be a relaxed weekend at the box office, remember, every movie is someone's hard work and passion project, so don't write them off just yet. Enjoy your cinematic adventures, and I'll see you at the movies!
