Hey, movie lovers! There's some exciting news for you all. Remember the movie, “A Quiet Place: Day One”? It appears to be preparing for a smashing opening. And guess what, it is even predicted to surpass previous industry expectations. Cool, right?
Key Takeaways
– “A Quiet Place: Day One” could have the highest opening in the franchise, with expectations around $53 million.
– It might take away the top spot from “Inside Out 2”, as both movies are performing incredibly well.
– “Horizon: Chapter 1”, the new Kevin Costner film, might end up making around $11 million.
– Jeff Nichols' “The Bikeriders” might see a sharp drop in its audience, with a potential fall of 65% to maybe a $3 million weekend.
Now, let's get into the details!
“A Quiet Place: Day One” is predicted to open with around $53 million, which is about $8 million more than the industry originally thought. This buzz-worthy prequel could steal the spotlight from “Inside Out 2”, with both movies going head-to-head at the box office.
However, not all movies are enjoying such success. Kevin Costner's latest movie, “Horizon: Chapter 1”, might not even reach $12 million. Now, it seems to be settling around an $11 million opening weekend, which is less than stellar.
“The Bikeriders” too, appears to be going through a tough time. It looks like the film will suffer a heavy customer loss, possibly dropping by over 65% to a mere $3 million-plus for the weekend. While it's a bummer, we can only hope that adult movie-goers turn up in larger numbers for weekend matinees, pushing it towards a better performance than what's currently expected.
To give you a recap, “A Quiet Place: Day One” opened seemingly in line with the last two movies in the series based on early numbers. Expert predictions from Deadline suggested a $48 million for the opening weekend. That's a pretty solid number! However, against the box office titan “Inside Out 2”, which is expected to make a whopping $60 million in the same weekend, it seemed the movie may have to settle for second place.
Now for Kevin Costner's ambitious western project, “Horizon: Chapter 1”. This adult-oriented movie seemed to be aligning perfectly with expectations, estimating a total of $12-13 million for the opening phase. However, as this film caters to an older audience that usually attends weekend matinees or waits until later to watch, the final judgment on its success or failure might take more time.
Meanwhile, “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” is expected to follow right after “Horizon: Chapter 1”, with a predicted $11 million-opening weekend. In contrast, the Telugu epic, “Kalki 2898 AD”, one of India's most expensive movies, made a splash landing a high fifth place at the box office, clocking in at $6.5 million. This came after a stellar performance of making a magnificent $5.5 million just on 900 screens.
Unfortunately, we do not have an update on how “The Bikeriders” is doing. But fingers crossed, let's hope it makes a surprising comeback!
