The Super Mario Bros. Movie gave the market a huge boost in April, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 outperformed our prediction in early May, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse started June with a bang. But our predicted box office for the year as a whole remains unchanged at $10 billion in our latest update thanks partly to Fast X underperforming stateside, but also quite a few other films missing expectations. The good news is that our model remains fairly confident that the North American market will hit the magical 11-figure number this year after our prediction jumped appreciably in

Review-2023 market prediction: mix of hits and misses keeps theatrical prediction at $10 billion for the year

Action movie with an ensemble cast led by Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham opens exclusively in theaters on September 22 … Full Movie Details. Armed with every weapon they can get their hands on and the skills to use them, The Expendables are the world’s last line of defense and the team that gets called when all other options are off the table. But new team members with new styles and tactics are going to give “new blood” a whole new meaning.

After promising starts on Thursday evening, The Flash and Elemental have both rapidly run out of steam this weekend, with each falling well short of our Friday-morning prediction. The Flash is projected to earn $55.1 million according to Warner Bros. this morning, while Elemental will arrive with around $29.5 million.

Warner Bros.’ big bet of the Summer arrives in theaters this weekend, and The Flash looks as though it will set the new DC Universe on its way at a reasonable pace with an opening in the region of $70 million. With Elemental also looking at a weekend somewhere around $50 million, and The Blackening offering some counter-programming, we’re in for a big weekend at the box office.

Three new wide releases grace cinemas all across North America this weekend, while a flurry of big franchise hits are still widely available on the big screen. Newcomer Transformers: Rise of the Beasts won the domestic weekend last time around, but Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse retook its position at number one at the box office throughout the week. This week they fall from their respective places as widest release as The Flash and Elemental make their cinematic arrival.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will open with a shade over $60 million this weekend, according to Paramount’s Sunday-morning projection. That’s nearly three times what Bumblebee earned on its opening weekend, and well ahead of the $44.7-milion debut of 2017’s The Last Knight. It also handily tops Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, in spite of that film holding on well in its second weekend.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts goes into the weekend a very marginal favorite to end it top of the box office chart, thanks mainly to strong earnings from early screenings and Thursday previews. But Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is hot on its tail as of Friday afternoon and could well do enough to pull off a victory.

After debuting as the second-widest release last week, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse adds 19 locations this week, becoming available in 4,332 theaters. The web-slinging superhero and friends earned a hefty $120 million in its opening weekend, and currently holds a six-day domestic total of over $159 million. While those are solid numbers, Spider-Man will have its hands full trying to fend off the release of this week’s newcomer, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is headed for an excellent $120.5-million opening weekend, according to Sony’s Sunday-morning projection. That’s 3.4 times what Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse made when it opened back in 2018, and the second-best opening of the year behind only The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is looking at a $100-million opening, based on the pedigree of the franchise and strong Thursday previews. The Boogeyman is hoping to hit with some Summertime horror counter-programming.
