<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
UPDATED, FRIDAY MIDDAY:<\/strong> Disney\/Marvel Studios\u2019 Thunderbolts* <\/strong>is currently playing a bit ahead of Shang-Chi\u2019s second weekend with $9 million Friday and a projected weekend around $35M<\/strong>, off 53% from its opening last week. That will get the Florence Pugh-Wyatt Russell-Sebastian Stan Marvel ensemble past $130M<\/strong> by Sunday.<\/p>\n Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings during its post-Labor Day frame in 2021 did $34.7M, off 54%.<\/p>\n More from Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n For this weekend, the entire frame for all movies could come in even compared with the same period a year ago, which did $96.1M per Box Office Mojo. That was boosted by Disney\/20th Century Studios\u2019 opening of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes with $58.4M.<\/p>\n Warner Bros\u2019 Sinners,<\/strong> as expected, is still a force with at $20M in its fourth weekend. How does it stack up to other fourth weekends for horror films? It\u2019s on par with the fourth weekend of Sixth Sense ($20M), and ahead of It\u2018s fourth frame of $16.9M. Sinners is behind Blair Witch Project\u2018s fourth weekend of $24.3M, but that\u2019s a bit of apples to oranges as it was technically the second wide weekend for the found-footage movie, which had a two-weekend platform. Interestingly, Sinners isn\u2019t that far from the fourth weekend of A Minecraft Movie ($22.7M).<\/p>\n The rest of the weekend is looking as follows:<\/p>\n 1.) Thunderbolts* (Dis) 4,330 theaters, Fri $9M, 3-day $35M (-53%), Total $130.3M\/Wk 2<\/p>\n 2.) Sinners (WB) 3,502 theaters, Fri $6M, 3-day $20M (-39%), Total $213.3M\/Wk 4<\/p>\n 3.) A Minecraft Movie (WB) 3,468 theaters, Fri $1.7M, 3-day $7M (-48%), Total $408M\/Wk 6<\/p>\n 4.) Accountant 2 (AMZ) 3,402 theaters, Fri $1.58M, 3-day $5.8M (-39%) Total $50.6M\/Wk 3<\/p>\n 5.) Clown in a Cornfield (IFC) 2,277 theaters, Fri $1.4M, 3-day $3M\/Wk 1<\/p>\n 6.) Shadow Force (LG) 2,170 theaters, Fri $950K, 3-day $1.7M-$2.7M\/Wk 1<\/p>\n 7.) Fight or Flight (Vert) 2,153 theaters, Fri $1M, 3-day $2M\/Wk 1<\/p>\n Remember, there are bigger events to come at the summer B.O.<\/p>\n PREVIOUSLY, FRIDAY AM: <\/strong>Disney and Marvel Studios\u2019 Thunderbolts*<\/strong> will continue to storm the weekend box office in its second session with an estimated $30<\/strong> million, off 60% or less from its debut frame. The Jake Schreier-directed movie will cross the century mark Friday stateside in a weekend that\u2019s littered with a bunch of single-digit-million openers. Summer competition doesn\u2019t start until next weekend, when New Line\u2019s Final Destination: Bloodlines will debut to a projected $30M-$40M. Thunderbolts* will have all the Imax and PLFs this weekend.<\/p>\n Hailee Steinfeld in \u2018Sinners\u2019<\/p>\n Warner Bros\u2019 Sinners<\/strong> is not going to hell at the box office, but rather continues skyward ending week 3 with $46.6M<\/strong> and a running total of $193.3M<\/strong>. The Ryan Coogler-directed, Michael B. Jordan-starring vampire movie is crossing $200M <\/strong>today with a fourth weekend that\u2019s expected to be potent with $23M-$25M<\/strong>, -30%, per industry forecasts. Sinners will have Imax 70MM auditoriums May 15-21.<\/p>\n Warner Bros\/Legendary\u2019s A Minecraft Movie <\/strong>is looking to ease another 35%-40% in weekend 6 with around $8M after a week 5 of $16.5M and running total of $401M<\/strong> as of yesterday.<\/p>\n Amazon MGM Studios\u2019 The Accountant 2 <\/strong>ends its second week with $13.1M<\/strong> and a running total of $44.7M<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u2018Clown in the Cornfield\u2019<\/p>\n In regards to the rest, the one movie expected to pop is IFC\u2019s Clown in the Cornfield <\/strong>at 2,277 screens, looking at around $5M.<\/strong> Critics love the movie at 80% fresh in the wake of its SXSW premiere<\/a> in March. The Eli Craig-directed title is set in a fading midwestern town in which Frendo the clown, a symbol of bygone success, reemerges as a terrifying scourge. We just heard the movie did $600,000<\/strong> previews.<\/p>\n Kerry Washington and Jahleel Kamera in \u2018Shadow Force\u2019<\/p>\n Lionsgate\u2019s Kerry Washington and Omar Sy action movie Shadow Force<\/strong> is eyeing $3M-$4M<\/strong> at 2,170 screens. The movie was greenlit during the Joe Drake administration at the studio. Critics aren\u2019t hot on it with 50% Rotten. Last night\u2019s previews were $200K<\/strong>.

The Josh Hartnett-starring, James Madigan-directed pic has the best previews of anyone with $550K<\/strong>, and that\u2019s from last night and Monday Mystery screenings. Outlook is $2.5M<\/strong>. Out of the new movies tracked on PostTrak last night, Fight or Flight had the best scores with a 49% definite recommend and 3 stars. Pic\u2019s blurb: A mercenary takes on the job of tracking down a target on a plane but must protect her when they\u2019re surrounded by people trying to kill both of them.<\/p>\n Briarcliff Entertainment has Juliet & Romeo<\/strong> at 1,350 theaters and it stars Jason Isaacs, Rupert Graves and Rebel Wilson.
