Weekend Box Office Report Predictions (April 19th - April 21st)

Weekend Box Office Report Predictions (April 19th - April 21st)

Every Friday, I look at the films opening this week as well as the films that have already opened to predict which films will be in the top 10. Let's take a look.

1. Shazam!: This one's a no-brainer. It's an extremely quiet weekend, and Shazam! is the only big budget film that has a chance of wide appeal. It won't make a lot, but I would venture to say that 10-15 million would be extremely solid. 

2. Hellboy: Despite the critical panning, I think the film still has the most recognizable IP out of all the other 4 options that I think it can (barely) make the number two spot. Hellboy is not going to be anywhere next weekend when Avengers: Endgame smashes every single record, but then again, neither will any of these films.

3. The Curse of La Llorona: There is a lot intrigue surrounding this film, but again, like Hellboy, it is getting critically panned. Then again, last weekend, Hellboy was in the number 3 spot, and I think The Curse of La Llorona has enough steam that it can sneak into the number 3 spot. 

4. Pet Semetary: It's not the best weekend for horror. Pet Semetary wasn't the most well-received out of the bunch, but then again, it was better than The Cures of La Llorona and Hellboy. It's not the best time for horror right now. But it's another big name that people may want to check out over the weekend. 

5. Breakthrough: This one is the only counter-programming film in the top five. Breakthrough is opening this weekend and I think there is an audience of Christian followers that would head out to see the film. It wouldn't be a lot, but it would be enough to hit the top 5.
