Full disclosure : Box office prediction are not an precise science . We acknowledge our plectrum may not always be right . For the saki of offering a jumping off point for discussion , here are our picks for the weekend of September 29 - October 1 , 2017 .
This weekend , American Madeopens in 3,024 theaters andFlatlinersplays in 2,552 locations . Battle of the Sexesalso get a wide elaboration , showing in 1,213 theaters .
#1 - Kingsman: The Golden Circle
We bear last workweek ’s title-holder , Kingsman : The Golden Circle(read our review ) , to reprize in the top position during its second weekend . The undercover agent sequel pull in $ 39 million in its first three days , get over a broadly mixed vital response by taking advantage of special rival . Though Christian Bible - of - sass is n’t too expectant , Kingsman 2still has a fairly easy route to the # 1 spatial relation again , see that it still has a monopoly on its target audience and is one of the few options playing pitch to action rooter . The film has also been perform well throughout the calendar week , come through the day-to-day charts since it open up last Friday . Since nothing issue forth out position a direct threat toKingsman , the picture should come through .
#2 - IT
Coming in second should beIT(read our review ) , which occur in this spot last week with $ 29.7 million . There ’s little left-hand to say about the horror motion-picture show ’s box office ascendancy , as it has leaven to be quite the phenomenon since debuting a few week back . Thanks to the enthusiastic word - of - sass , IThas demonstrated strong leg throughout its run , and it should be able to nurse on for at least a minuscule longer .
#3 - American Made
Though it ’s the competitor in our headline , we believeAmerican Made(read our review ) will only grapple a third - place destination in its opening weekend . The film , which is based on the true story of drug smuggler Barry Seal , is a crime dramedy asterisk Tom Cruise . The actor is reuniting with hisEdge of Tomorrowdirector Doug Liman on the project , and that previous collaboration get in $ 100.2 million domestically before finding a large audience on home media . One would trust that after a few years ofEdge of Tomorrow ’s reputation growing , another movie with Cruise and Liman would be a swelled hit , but it does n’t appear that is in the cards .
American Made ’s vital reception is electropositive , so the reappraisal have little to do with why it might struggle at the box office . Ironically , its main marketing head ( Cruise ) is also work out against the film . Outside of theMission : Impossiblefranchise , the A - lister ’s commercial-grade drawing power has diminished over the retiring fistful of years . Just this summer , Cruise headlined ill-famed flopThe Mummy($80.1 million ) , and last year’sJack Reacher : Never Go Backfared even worse with $ 58.6 million . It ’s been a while since one of Cruise ’s non - Ethan Hunt turns posted mellow number , and there ’s little reason to expectAmerican Madewill be the one to break the vogue . Though the selling cause has been seeable , it ’s arriving to theaters with little fan transportation and awards bombination - place it at a disadvantage . WithBlade Runner 2049on the purview , people may choose to wait and cut on this one .
#4 - The LEGO Ninjago Movie
Coming in quaternary should beThe LEGO Ninjago Movie(read our critical review ) , which opened in third last weekend with $ 20.4 million . That was the lowest first appearance for aLEGOfilm by far , indicate that this one was n’t in gamy demand as it come in theaters . Normally , family film are a reliable bet from a corner office perspective , but this one never managed to catch on . It does n’t seem potential to deform things around in the coming week , specially after the tepid vital reception . Ninjagois on a grade to fade into a distant computer memory in a short full stop of time .
#5 - Flatliners
round out the top five should beFlatliners , which is a sequel to the 1990 craze classic of the same name . The master was a small hit back in its day , grossing $ 61.4 million in its theatrical run . It definitely has a pursuit , but many would be hard - squeeze to contend that there ’s been a keen pastime in succeeding installments . Additionally , the followup is being hamstrung by hapless review , which will do nothing but hurt to its commercial-grade panorama . With a want of star power ( Ellen Page is the biggest name in the casting ) andITstill there for the horror gang , Flatlinersis facing an uphill upgrade . estimate have it pegged for $ 7.6 million in its first three days .
