Zendaya-Palooza At Weekend Box Office As Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Challengers’ Looks To Serve $15M Opening & ‘Dune 2’ Returns To Imax – Preview
Zendaya will dominate the box office with 'Challengers' eyeing $15M opening and 'Dune: Part Two' returning to Imax.
The R-rated menage a trois tennis romantic comedy, Challengers, finally steps on the court this weekend after being pushed from its Sept. 15 release date due to the actors strike, with an eye at a$15M domestic opening at 3,400 locations, give or take.
