While Hollywood waits another week until October to open their blockbusters, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings [SHCHI] will continue to rule September. Marvel's newest superhero should lead the box office for a fourth straight weekend at about $13.5 million.
Universal targets young women with the musical Dead Evan Hansen [DEHAN] based on the Tony-award winner. The PG-13 rated film has earned poor reviews, which will discourage moviegoers outside the core fanbase. Booked in 3364 theaters, Dead Evan Hansen may bring home $9.5 million.
Cry Macho [CRYMC] could hold 55% of its opening and finish around $2.5 million, while Copshop [COPSH] may drop slightly more than 50% in its second weekend to $1.1 million.
After a week in limited release, The Eyes of Tammy Faye [TEOTF] triples its locations to 1352 in its wide expansion. The biopic could pledge $1 million.
That’s the whisper from the virtual trading floor.
