Thinking around $50M-$55M for both Planet and Ducks, being conservative for both but $60M-$70M for either or both wouldn’t surprise me. Storm Hunters I’m thinking around $53M. Island should do solid.
Voltron should make the list but I’m wondering where. I’m pretty sure it’ll open to $100M+ for Fri-Sun, but will it top Pokémon? I’m thinking $150M five day should happen. Treasure Planet (solid reviews and the first 4-quad movie since Pokémon), Storm Hunters (pretty fun and could surprise) and Sitting Ducks (first big family film since Bandicoot) should all have great chances to get on the list.

Scarlet Johansson is Angela, the main character in David Leitch’s upcoming action thriller “Mommy” scheduled for Y3. The cast includes John Boyega, Taron Egerton, Finn Wolfhard, Al Pacino, Gal Gadot, and Jenna Ortega.
Great openings for Blood and Fur 2, Amityville and Afghan Village. Blood and Fur 2 should end at around $105M-$110M. Amityville is heading for $120M-$130M. Afghan should IMO reach $100M domestic. Bandicoot having them strong legs, should end at around $125M, maybe $130M. Pizza Cats is following Goosebumps closely and should end at around $80M-$85M. Demons had a decent opening but died quickly.
Flower Eyes is doing what I was expecting.
Thought Zapper had breakout potential, however I still think the sequel will surprise. Bandicoot should thankfully end around $115M at least, Samurai Pizza Cats can hurt it.
To be honest, out of my 11 films scheduled this year, only 5 have a budget at or over $100M. Bullets and Lyrics will likely be $60M. Everything else is under $50M.
Also El Superbeasto might be a hybrid. I want a budget around $30M-$40M but there’s a lot of monsters in the movie.
