The Live Action Blockbuster is set to top the box office for the third time in a row, with an estimated $33 million from 4,185 theaters. By Sunday, the film’s domestic total is expected to reach $336 million, with a worldwide total of $650 million.<\/p>\n
The first John Wick spinoff, Ballerina, is expected to take second place with a soft opening of $25-27 million from 3,409 theaters. Ana de Armas stars in the title role, with Keanu Reeves also making an appearance. Despite initial projections of $35 million, the film’s opening has been reduced due to competition from other action movies.<\/p>\n
Although Ballerina’s opening is softer than expected, the film has received an A- CinemaScore and a strong audience response, with a 94% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This suggests that the film could have long legs and perform well in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
Ballerina is set during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and follows Eva Macarro (De Armas) as she begins her training as a Ruska Roma assassin. The film also stars Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, and Norman Reedus, with Ian McShane and Reeves making appearances.<\/p>\n
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is expected to take third place with an estimated $15 million from 3,456 locations, bringing its domestic total to $145.9 million and its worldwide total to over $400 million. Karate Kid: Legend Continues is expected to drop 57% to $8.7 million from 3,859 locations, bringing its domestic total to $35.4 million.<\/p>\n
Final Destination: Bloodlines is expected to round out the top 5, while Wes Anderson’s latest film, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, is expected to expand nationwide to 1,678 theaters, with a projected weekend total of $5.7 million and a 10-day total of $6.5 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
