- Weekend predictions: Sonic charging to weekend win
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 looks like it will not only win the weekend, but do so handily, as Mufasa: The Lion King looks surprisingly weak as of Friday morning. Both films should have long legs through the holidays, but Mufasa has a lot of ground to make up after posting just $3.3 million in previews on Thursday.
- Superman trailer
Superhero action movie directed by James Gunn, starring David Corenswet, opens in theaters on July 11. Full movie details.
- Theater counts: Mufasa roars into 4,100 theaters
For nearly a month now, one couldn’t look at the box office charts without seeing either Wicked or Moana 2 holding the top position. However, that all looks to change this weekend with two new franchise films clawing their way into theaters, poised to battle in an already crowded holiday season.
- Karate Kid: Legends trailer
Martial Arts drama starring Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, and Ben Wang opens in theaters on May 30. Full movie details.
- Weekend projections: franchise spin-offs fall short as Moana and Wicked continue box office dominance
Once more, it’s the Moana 2 and Wicked show in theaters this weekend, with Moana taking first-place honors in its 3rd weekend in release and Wicked coming a close second in its fourth weekend. Kraven the Hunter will land a disappointing third, and The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim an even more disappointing fifth on their opening weekends.
