Blade Runner 2049 kicks off a pretty weak October. It won't dominate the month the same way It dominated September, but it should be enough. There are a lot of movies opening in the next month, but very few look like breakouts. The Mountain Between Us seems like a movie that would have done big business in 1994, while My Little Pony might take advantage of the dire family market. Victoria and Abdul has done very well in limited and goes wide this weekend. It might be the crossover hit I thought Battle of the Sexes would be. Opening in limited is Oscar hopeful The Florida Project. Can it be another Moonlight for A24?
