For a recap of last week ’s box office totals , read ourbox authority wrap - upfrom last weekend , and scroll to the bottom of this mail service to see how our pick matched up .
Full disclosure : Box place prediction are not an exact skill . We notice our choice may not always be correct . For the interest of offer a jumping off point for give-and-take , here are our picks for the weekend of October 27 - 29 , 2017 .
This weekend , Jigsawopens in 2,941 locations , Suburbicondebuts in 2,046 theaters , andThank You For Your Serviceplays in 2,054 placement .
#1 - Jigsaw
Coming in first should beJigsaw , which is the latest installment in theSawhorror film franchise . The series has long been one of the most lucrative in the music genre , reaching its peak in the mid-2000s with the succeeder of the second and third entries , which earned more than $ 80 million domestically . For a while , Sawwas a Halloween tradition , with movies coming out seven consecutive years from 2004 to 2010.Jigsawarrives seven years afterSaw 3D , so Lionsgate is obviously hope the elongated breach increase requirement for more boot and game from its titular villain . Sometimes , deliberately starving the marketplace can have a positive effect .
Unfortunately , it does n’t search likeJigsawwill be a major moneymaker when it opens . Though the moving-picture show will believably win the weekend due to want of contender , it ’s only projected to make $ 12.5 million in its first three day . This would be the miserable debut in the series to date , coming below even the $ 14.1 million ofSaw VI . The perpetrator in this case is a assorted critical reception , asJigsawshould play well to its recess of die - hardSawfans , but not much else . And though there are n’t any other newfangled horror flick opening this weekend , holdovers likeHappy expiry DayandIT(both of which have earned near revaluation ) will belike be more likable for casual hearing .
#2 - Boo! 2: A Madea Halloween
reckon for last week ’s champ , Boo ! 2 : A Madea Halloween , to slew to mo in its second weekend . The latest installment in Tyler Perry ’s hallmark franchise played well for its target consultation during its first three days , but it was n’t well-nigh as successful as its herald . Because of that , the continuation should take up to fall off sooner rather than later , as interest is somewhat low .
#3 - Suburbicon
Our pick for third isSuburbicon(read our review ) , the new dark clowning from conductor George Clooney that asterisk an A - leaning cast consist of Matt Damon , Julianne Moore , and Oscar Isaac . The film had all the pieces to be something entertaining , but the conclusion event was an unfortunate miss , and because Logos - of - mouth is so bad , Suburbiconwill likely shinny to draw in sizable crowds . It decidedly lacks the awards buzz these variety of projects typically require to abide afloat during the twilight months , and even with all the famous faces demand , perfunctory audiences do n’t have much incentive to arrest it out . estimate have it peg for an hatchway weekend in the range of $ 5.5 million , which is well below the start for Clooney ’s 2011 political dramaThe Ides of March($10.4 million ) and World War II pictureThe Monuments Men($22 million ) .
#4 - Geostorm
Coming in fourth should beGeostorm , one of the more notorious loge office bombs of 2017 . The cataclysm film scrape together $ 13.7 million in its opening weekend , but with the toxic receipt , it ’ll drop very quickly . Some may choose to see it out of morbid wonder to see how awfulGeostormtruly is , but that wo n’t be enough to save it from being a commercial loser .
#5 - Happy Death Day
polish out the top five should beHappy Death Day(read our review article ) , which came in third last week with $ 9.3 million . With this being the last weekend before Halloween , moviegoer looking for a scare or two will probably be concerned in what this moving picture has to offer , consider it ’s better received thanJigsaw . SinceDeath Dayhas been play for a couple weeks now , the demand wo n’t alone be there , but it should still stay around for another week .
