5 wide releases, and one expanding just below the threshold. All of them combined probably will make a little more than half of what Fate of the Furious will do. That film opened massively across the world, but underwhelmed a tad in the states. Doesn't matter at all. Katherine Heigl's Unforgettable looks like the typical Screen Gems early September garbage, but it probably won't even do numbers to rival those films. The Promise and Born In China are both vying for second of the newcomers, while A24's Free Fire probably should have opened in limited and then expanded. Phoenix Forgotten is getting an aggressive push for a movie that has barely been advertised. I'd be shocked if it makes the top 10. The Lost City of Z expands to 500 theaters, which is probably too aggressive. (Too aggressive might be the phrase of this hohum box-office week.) That film has terrific reviews, so maybe it'll do okay in the long run.
