Weekend estimates: A Quiet Place: Part II has the edge in four-way race Nothing is assured in the topsy-turvy world of 2021, but it would take a steep dive from the newcomer and an unexpectedly strong hold by A Quiet Place: Part II to see a different outcome. The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard looks like it should win the weekend fairly comfortably based on its opening day figures from Wednesday and the track record of action comedies that opened mid-week. Weekend predictions: Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard favorite to win weekend All-in-all, that adds up to a glass-half-full/empty weekend at the box office. That’s a decent start for an action comedy, which our model says should be doing about $8 million at the moment, but it’s a shade behind our Friday prediction, which projected $13.6 million based on its solid $3.9 million opening day. The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard will pull off a relatively easy win at the box office this weekend, with Lionsgate projecting it will earn $11.675 million from Friday to Sunday for a five-day opening a shade over $17 million. Weekend estimates: Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard debuts with $11.675 million Here’s what our model has to say this morning… All the signs are that it will go much higher than that.
Given its pedigree and buzz, the minimal benchmark for success is the $47.6 million earned by A Quiet Place: Part II on its Friday–Sunday opening weekend over the Memorial Day holiday. The real question is how much it will bring in this weekend. It doesn’t even have much competition—$6 million might be enough for it to win the weekend, and it already earned more than that in previews last night. F9: The Fast Saga has long been anticipated as a landmark release as theaters reopen around North America, pandemic restrictions are lifted, and audiences regain their appetite for sitting in an enclosed space with hundreds of strangers. There’s no question which film will top the box office this weekend. Weekend predictions: F9 eyeing a $70-million opening
