The horror movie “Sinners” is expected to hold well at the box office, defying expectations for its second weekend despite predictions of a 60% drop in gross revenue. The film’s opening was strong, grossing $7.1 million on its first Wednesday, with conservative forecasts suggesting it would post a solid hold. This rarity for a horror movie suggests “Sinners” has a broader appeal.
In contrast, the R-rated horror movie “Until Dawn” is predicted to perform better among men under 25 and is expected to earn between $8M-$9M at 3,000 locations. The film’s production budget was lower than expected at $15M net.
On the other hand, the teen fantasy “The Legend of Ochi” is expanding from its limited release in four New York City and L.A. theaters to 1,100 theaters nationwide. Despite a poor performance in its initial release, the movie has received positive reviews from critics, with an 84% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Additionally, Amazon MGM Studios’ “The Accountant 2” is set for a $20M+ opening weekend at 3,610 theaters, driven by interest from men and women over 25. The sequel features Ben Affleck reprising his role as the gun-toting accountant.
