Weekend predictions: Challengers looks like the film to beat

April 26th, 2024

Challengers

Three new wide releases are attempting to stop Civil War from capturing another weekend at the top of the box office chart. While none of them will be setting records, Challengers looks as though it will rise above the rest and claim the crown. More...

Weekend predictions: Civil War, Abigail and Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare tussling for top spot

April 19th, 2024

Civil War

Our forecasting model is predicting essentially a three-way tie at the top of the box office chart this weekend, with Civil War the marginal favorite to beat Abigail and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare in the battle for top spot. The legs of each film will be essential in determining which one comes out the winner, with Abigail looking the most likely of the newcomers to challenge Civil War. Spy x Family Code: White, meanwhile, looks like it will be back in the pack. More...

Weekend predictions: Civil War and Godzilla x Kong in close race at the top

April 12th, 2024

Civil War

Our model thinks Civil War has a very slight edge over Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire going into what will be an interesting weekend at the box office. Alex Garland’s controversial action thriller will give the director his best opening weekend, beating Annihilation’s $11.1-million debut in 2018. Something over $20 million looks likely, but whether it can beat Kong remains to be seen. More...
