Weekend projections: Dial of Destiny first with a disappointing $60 million

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will easily take top honors at the box office this weekend, but its $60-million debut is a disappointing start considering that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull debuted with over $100 million way back in 2008. Its $70 million internationally isn’t much better considering that the franchise has traditionally done well around the world. The film is also performing weakly compared to its Thursday preview numbers, a clue that it isn’t getting great word of mouth. On the other hand, every film in the top 10 is coming in behind our Friday-morning predictions, which

Weekend predictions: Indiana Jones shooting for $70 million this weekend

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny may break an unusual record this weekend by opening with fewer millions of dollars than the age of its leading star. The fifth movie in the franchise would need to top $80 million to outscore the age of its octogenarian lead, Harrison Ford, and it looks likely to come up short. The last tentpole adventure film to do that was probably 2017’s The Mummy, which stumbled out the gate with $31.6 million, in spite of having to cross a lower bar: Tom Cruise was “just” 54 when that film debuted.

Weekend projections: Spider-Man wins again

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will top the box office chart in its fourth weekend in theaters, according to studio projections released on Sunday morning. That says a lot about the performance of recent releases The Flash and Elemental, which should by rights be dominating the chart right now. No Hard Feelings is on its way to a solid opening weekend, and will finish fourth.

Weekend predictions: weekend winner too close to call

Technically, any one of five movies stands a chance of finishing this weekend at the top of the box office chart, with newcomers No Hard Feelings and Asteroid City seeking to beat The Flash, Elemental and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse for the crown. The model thinks The Flash will win by a narrow margin, but there’s good reason to think Spider-Man will come out the winner, and No Hard Feelings could pull off a surprise victory.

At the box office, it should be a three-way race between Super-hero films The Flash, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and Pixar’s Elemental.
