‘John Wick: Chapter 3’ Taking Out ‘Avengers’ At No. 1 With $55M-$60M Opening Frame
If there is a film that is stopping Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame from taking No. 1 at the domestic box office for a fourth weekend in a row, it is John Wick Chapter 3 – Parabellum, which is looking at a $25 million Friday including $5.9M from Thursday previews for a $55M-$60M weekend. And we hear it could go higher.
Endgame will take a fourth Friday with $8M for a fourth-weekend take of $30M, which will send it past Avatar on Sunday to become the second highest-grossing movie of all time domestically with $771M
Warner Bros/Legendary’s Pokémon Detective Pikachu, meanwhile, is looking at $6M today for a three-day total of $24M and $93.1M by Sunday.
Universal/Amblin/Reliance’s A Dog’s Journey is eyeing $2.5M today (including an estimated $250,000 from Thursday shows) for an estimated three-day of $8M-$10M.
