Summer Box Office Pines For $3 Billion: ‘Garfield’ Could Scratch ‘Furiosa’, ‘Beetlejuice 2’ Might See Best Opening Just Outside Of Season & Other Zany Forecasts
The summer box office hopes to clear $3 billion with tentpoles such as 'Deadpool & Wolverine', and 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice 2024 AD' extending the season.
Upside: Hugh Jackman is back after dying in Logan and the film has a three-week run in Imax (the longest hold of any title this summer), though the last week will be shared with Lionsgate’s Eli Roth feature take of videogame Borderlands on Aug. 9 Also, Paramount’s prequel, A Quiet Place: Day One, from Pig filmmaker Michael Sarnoski, which takes the action to New York City with Lupita Nyong’o, looks to reawaken the John Krasinski born franchise even more on June 28. “This is an eclectic and exciting summer movie season that unfortunately is not getting a fair shake as low box office expectations (when compared to last year’s outlier ‘Sound of Barbenheimer’ powered $4 billion hit parade) are being misguidedly conflated with the perceived appeal of the films on tap for this most important 18-week corridor for theatres,” emphasizes Dergarabedian.
