Synopsis

Recent college grad Jaime Reyes returns home full of aspirations for his future, only to find that home is not quite as he left it. As he searches to find his purpose in the world, fate intervenes when Jaime unexpectedly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology: the Scarab. When the Scarab suddenly chooses Jaime to be its symbiotic host, he is bestowed with an incredible suit of armor capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the super hero Blue Beetle.

Weekend predictions: The Nun II looking good for opening weekend in the 30s

September 8th, 2023

The Nun II

The Nun II looks likely to scare up an opening weekend somewhere between $30 million and $40 million, with our model predicting on opening around $35 million. That will give it the best opening weekend for The Conjuring franchise since The Nun, which opened with $53.8 million back in 2018. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 will meanwhile debut with less than $10 million, based on its tepid previews on Thursday. Bollywood movie Jawan should be the third new release to hit the top ten this weekend. More...

Weekend predictions: The Equalizer 3 has a shot at franchise-best opening

September 1st, 2023

The Equalizer 3

The question this weekend is not which film will win, but whether The Equalizer 3 will have the best opening weekend for an Equalizer film. The bar is set at $36 million, which was how much The Equalizer 2 managed back in 2018. Our model thinks the franchise capper could top that figure, although it doesn’t look like it will do so by much. With the likes of Barbie, Gran Turismo and Blue Beetle fading, there won’t be much competition for top spot. More...

Weekend predictions: Gran Turismo likely winner on crowded weekend

August 25th, 2023

Gran Turismo

Gran Turismo looks likely to top the box office chart this weekend, but our predictions are complicated by the fact that we have four new wide releases, a wide re-release, and National Cinema Day on Sunday. In spite of all that, this will almost certainly be the first weekend to gross less than $100 million in total since the weekend of March 31. More...

Weekend predictions: Blue Beetle headed to the top on opening weekend, but looking underwhelming

August 18th, 2023

Blue Beetle

Blue Beetle should top the box office chart this weekend, but it’s looking like it’ll mimic the performance of Shazam! Fury of the Gods and come in with something around $30 million on debut—another disappointment for the DC Extended Universe following The Flash’s $55-million opening and $108-million run in June and July. Barbie looks headed to second place this weekend, with Strays back in a pack of movies that will earn something in the $9 million to $10 million range. More...
