If Annabelle opens to $30M+ there's a good chance it could stay at number one for 3 weeks.

I think Hitman's Bodyguard will do $18-25m OW August 25th and September 1st are really dire that HBG will be number 1 for three weeks by default.

You think so? I think it'll be lucky to hit $15M. I don't see any hype for it at all and I'm someone who is hyped for the film lol

Crossing my fingers that that's the case. But I don't see it happening, to be honest lol I mean it could hit $18M which is around the $15M, I have it for right now but unless interest doesn't start to get generated for it, I don't see how it has a $15M+ opening

This is the moment the 4.000+ theaters mark stopped being special.

The Deadline prediction article.

It might set some records that will take a VERY long time to break...

Good. 

 

Its what it deserves. I don't even know what Nut Job One is about. Didn't even know it existed until I saw Nut Job 2 was coming out on the release schedule. 

 

Although sucks for Open Road. Another disaster film on their hands.

Thanks to both.

 

My guess is that it is a one week deal in many theaters. Might shed theaters on weekend 2.

[JB33]

That Nut Job theatre count just shows that theatres are always desperate for a new animated movie. DESPICABLE ME 3 is legging it out big time, but obviously they want something new to keep accomdating children and families, which is why tons of theatres scooped up THE EMOJI MOVIE no problem.

Even if it doesn't shed theaters, I see the "Wish Upon/Detroit" effect coming for it in week 2...

[Krissykins]

$25m for Annabelle would be $12m less than the last film. Not bad but it's losing a third of its audience.

It's just a placeholder for the estimate.
