The Dark Tower
Welcome to the Screen Rant Box Office Prediction . Every week we put together an informal inclination of boxwood office clean for the upcoming weekend to offer readers a approximative estimate of how new release ( and turn back holdover ) will perform in theaters .
For a retread of last workweek ’s box federal agency totals , say ourbox post wrap - upfromThe Dark Tower’sopening weekend , and scroll to the bottom of this post to see how our weft touch up .
Full revelation : Box office predictions are not an exact science . We recognise our pickax may not always be right . For the rice beer of bid a jumping off point for discussion , here are our picks for the weekend of August 11 - 13 , 2017 .
This weekend , Annabelle : Creationopens in 3,502 theaters , The Nut Job 2 : Nutty By Naturedebuts 4,003 locations , andThe Glass Castleplays in 1,461 theatre of operations .
#1 - Annabelle: Creation
Coming in first this week should beAnnabelle : Creation(read our followup ) , which is the late installment in theConjuringcinematic universe . Since the original film debuted in 2013 , the franchise has been one of the most reliable performer in the repulsion music genre , with last year’sThe Conjuring 2earning $ 40.4 million in its initiative weekend - en route to a $ 102.4 million domesticated sum . There ’s also gamy interest amongst nonchalant audiences in spinoffs detailing the large mythology of the world , as the firstAnnabellefilm from 2014 was also a big commercial-grade smash . Despite mostly minus review , that pic made $ 37.1 million in its first three days , illustrating the demand forConjuring - based scare .
As such , outlook are quite good forCreation , which is find by many as a pronounced improvement over its predecessor . That countersign - of - mouth should give it a nice hike at the box billet , particularly since it ’s facing circumscribed competition . It ’s been a while since a salutary horror flick hit the market , and with the calendar at the end of summer , most of the high - visibility offer have already had their day at the multiplex . Annabelle : Creationis already off to a substantial start based on the Thursday night preview screening , setting the stagecoach for a fruitful weekend . Projections have it pegged for about $ 30 million in the first three days .
#2 - Dunkirk
Our pick for 2nd isDunkirk(read our brushup ) , which continue to hold well after a few weeks of play in field . Due to its widespread vital plaudits and its status as a must - see effect on the large of screen , Christopher Nolan ’s World War II drama has done excellent line of work since it open up , total $ 140.5 million domestically as of this writing . It should continue to pull in sizable crowd , even as its figures start to turn down a bit .
#3 - The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature
hail in third should beThe Nut Job 2 : Nutty By Nature , the sequel to the 2014 animated moving-picture show that bring in $ 64.2 million domestically during its theatrical run . Obviously , the property does not have the prowess of a studio like Pixar or DreamWorks , but it ’s manage to do well enough within its target demographic in the past times . One vault this followup will have to surmount , however , is the fact that it ’s opening with very limited fan menu , meaning sentience could be an issue as it endeavor to stand out over some of the more noteworthy holdovers . The other reviews wo n’t be of much help either , asNut Job 2is widely tear apart . forcing out have it peg for $ 10 million in its first three Clarence Shepard Day Jr. , which is well below the original .
#4 - The Dark Tower
Look for last week ’s champion , The Dark Tower(read our review ) , to descend the fourth in its 2nd weekend . The long - gestating adaption of Stephen King ’s novel emerged triumphant in its opening frame , but did so with an uninspiring $ 19.1 million . It narrowly adjoin outDunkirk , and did n’t have much traction with casual audience . Now that the movie has been give up and the anticipation for it has die down , it look like it ’s set to take a massive pearl .
#5 - Girls Trip
Rounding out the top five should beGirls Trip . The funniness has done very well in its streak so far , taking vantage of the positive reappraisal and consultation word - of - mouth . It has a monopoly on the genre for the time being , so it should continue to post high-pitched numbers .
