    Five films, at the time of this writing, were going to try to release wide. I suspect only one will and that’s Five Nights at Freddy’s, a video adaptation that hopes to lure in fans of the game who may have already grown out of it. I suspect it will struggle to open well and…

    There’s little to no chance that Martin Scorsese’s The Killers of the Flower Moon or Dicks: The Musical is going to outperform the second weekend of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten Tomatoes’ trailer YouTube Channels. Below are some other films…

    There are no new traditional wide releases this week, but Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is getting a concert film release in AMC theaters. That alone has said to have sold millions of tickets so far, so it will dominate this weekend. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on…

    There is but only one new wide release this week, the latest attempt to revive the Exorcist franchise. The Exorcist: Believer will certainly be the top new wide release, but it also has a strong chance at being the top box office performer overall. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had…

    The Saw franchise petered out a long time ago and they keep trying to revive it. Against two other contenders, it will be interesting to see if the studio’s gamble paid off. Paw Patrol: The Might Movie has the most potential to come out on top because it has a built-in audience, but it could…

    The fourth Expendables film will determine whether or not this franchise will continue to have legs. It doesn’t have the hype of something like the Fast & Furious films, but it should do well enough to top the box office. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten…

    A solid debut for The Nun II is sure to be short-lived as horror films are often front-loaded. That leaves plenty of room for A Haunting in Venice to take the top spot at the box office. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten Tomatoes’ trailer YouTube…

    The first post-Labor Day weekend will see if My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 can be a success like the original or a flop like the second film. It’s up against The Nun II, which will ensure it doesn’t become the biggest film of the weekend. Heck, it probably won’t even beat the second weekend…

    September kicks off with a single wide release with Denzel Washington’s star power destined for the top spot at the box office. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten Tomatoes’ trailer YouTube Channels.

    With the tepid debut of Blue Beetle fresh on everyone’s mind, barely eking out a victory over Barbie in her fifth week, there’s plenty of room for either of two of this week’s wide releases to come out on top. There are three titles releasing wide, Gran Turismo, The Hill, and Retribution. You can count…

    We may finally be getting the Barbie killer. After several lackluster box office debuts and Barbie‘s steady decline, Blue Beetle may have what it takes to top the film, but perhaps not by much. It’s a minor character in the DC universe and interest in DC films has been mediocre at best. Still, it’s the…

    Only one new release and with the way Barbie continues to perform, it’s not likely The Last Voyage of the Demeter will be the Barbie-slayer, but I’m no longer confident that the Pink Champion will continue its streak much longer. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten…

    Can Barbie three-peat? Well, it first has to get past this week’s two new releases, the sequel no one asked for (The Meg 2) and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Maymen. The studio is flogging this TMNT film like it’s the new Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but it’s tracking like it isn’t. The TMNT…

    After the mega launch of Barbie and Oppenheimer last weekend, Disney hopes to have its own mega opening with the latest adaptation of one of its theme park rides. Haunted Mansion might struggle against Barbie, but should do well enough to top Talk to Me as the weekend’s top new release. OTHER RELEASES We are…

    In the battle between Barbie and J. Robert Oppenheimer, I’m pretty sure Barbie has the higher name recognition. Will that mean the movie is a bigger hit? Early ticket sales suggest it will be. This is the first time Christopher Nolan has tried to see his film as an action film when the subject matter…
