Box Office Predictions for Upcoming Weekend Releases
ICARO Media Group
This weekend will see a lineup of new releases hitting the box office, with Paramount's "Bob Marley: One Love" expected to dominate for a second weekend with an estimated $15 million, only a 45% drop from its debut. Meanwhile, Sony/Marvel's "Madame Web" may see a 55% decrease for around $6.8 million.
Among the new arrivals, Sony/Crunchyroll's "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba -To The Hashira Training" is projected to perform the best with an anticipated $7-$8 million, despite being a TV episode rather than a typical movie. The installment is the last episode of the Swordsmith Village Arc and the first episode of the Hashira Training Arc, set to be shown in theaters for the first time.
In addition, Lionsgate/Kingdom Story's "Ordinary Angels" starring Hilary Swank is set to hit screens after being delayed from its original release date. The faith-based movie is expected to bring in $5-$7 million at 2,800 locations.
Lastly, Focus Features' "Drive-Away Dolls" directed by Ethan Coen is set to struggle at the box office, with estimates pointing towards difficulty reaching $4 million. The movie follows two friends on a road trip to Tallahassee that takes a turn when they encounter a group of inept criminals.
Overall, the box office landscape is poised for a mix of new releases and holdovers, with "Bob Marley: One Love" seen as the front runner for the upcoming weekend.
