Weekend Box Office Report Predictions (April 26th - April 28th)

Weekend Box Office Report Predictions (April 26th - April 28th)



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. Avengers: Endgame: Was there any doubt? Ever? If there was a movie I was 100 percent confident in, it was this one. It's Avengers: Endgame. Enough said. 

2. Captain Marvel: I'm taking a gamble on Captain Marvel reaching the number two spot, after dipping out of the top five just a week ago. But I have a theory about this, and that's what makes this a gamble. I think that people going to see Avengers: Endgame who haven't seen Captain Marvel will be interested to see the Brie Larson-led film after seeing Endgame, perhaps because of how cool she is in the Avengers. With Shazam!'s box office on the decline, and Captain Marvel's on the rise, it could happen. We'll see. 

3. Shazam!: But if Captain Marvel makes it to the number 2 spot, Shazam will be close behind. Granted, neither will make the slightest speck of money because Avengers: Endgame will EAT up the box office. But it's going to be the weekend of comic book movies. 

4. Breakthrough: I'm going to play it safe; with so many comic book movies out in theaters, and especially with all the money that Avengers: Endgame is about to take, the only way to make money this weekend is with counter-programming. What's more counter programming with a based on a true story Christian film? It was in the number 3 spot last weekend; I think it has a shot to be in the top 4.

5. The Curse of La Llorona: The only reason this film is here and not dipping out like Hellboy and Pet Semetary before it is because this is only the second weekend for the film. And because of that, while it will have an enormous drop, it could be enough to hold it in to the top 5 for one more week.
