Only two openers, but I think Destroyer was at one point supposed to go wide this weekend. I guess that was cancelled. Kid Who Would Be King might do okay, it has pretty good reviews. I haven't seen a single TV spot for Serenity, so maybe Aviron is going the A24 route with advertising. No reviews either, which isn't a good sign. Though being slapped all over the release schedule and landing in January was obviously not a good sign for the McConaughey-Hathaway reunion. No idea if that DragonBall thing is still in theaters this weekend. That was probably one of the more interesting things about the box-office over the past week. Only one opener next weekend, so drops this weekend and next weekend will be very slight.

As for the Oscar movies, Green Book is finally getting a big expansion after it debuted 2 months ago in around a thousand theaters. The Favourite goes to 1,500+ theaters. Bohemian Rhapsody, Vice and A Star Is Born are all adding a couple hundred theaters each. Blackkklansman is getting a re-release in just under 200 screens. No word yet on Black Panther. And of course, no numbers being reported for Roma.
