Weekend Box Office Report Predictions (May 31st - June 2nd)
Every week, 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. Godzilla: King of the Monsters - The latest film to feature the king himself, Godzilla: King of the Monsters will make a fair amount of money at the box office, well enough to be in the number one spot fairly easily. However, with the mixed reception, I don't envision the film staying in that spot for much longer. Or even in the top 5, especially as summer ramps and X-Men: Dark Phoenix arrives in a week.
2. Aladdin (2019) - Even though critics may not be enjoying the movie as much as some other audience members are, the film has such a positive word of mouth at the moment amongst casual viewers. I haven't met anyone who hasn't enjoyed the film, and I think that the family appeal will see Aladdin take the number two spot in its second weekend.
3. Rockeman - Don't look now, but we could have another Bohemian Rhapsody on our hands. Bohemian Rhapsody, which made just shy of 900 million at the box office, revitalized the genre of biopics. Rocketman, with the critical acclaim that it's getting, looks to capitalize on this. If it's good, and if it can maintain its legs, look for this film to stick around for a long time to come.
4. John Wick: Chapter 3 - It was either John Wick or the Avengers. I could see both films making about 12 million dollars at the box office next weekend. Ultimately, even though Avengers is still huge and is going to eventually catch up to Avatar, John Wick: Chapter 3 has an energy surrounding it. And besides, it's been in theaters much less than the Avengers film has. So look for it to edge out the Avengers for at least one more week.
5. Avengers: Endgame - But Endgame isn't going anywhere, not for awhile. It's going to be in the top 5 for another week at least, and the top ten for a LONG time, at least until it hits the Avatar record.
