#10 probably won't even do a million. The Farewell is going wide, not sure how many theaters though. It continues to perform well and hopefully it'll have crossover appeal. For the third week in a row, one big opener - a Fast and Furious spinoff with box-office draws Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. Johnson's box-office success is no secret, but Statham has had some good luck with summer releases, too. It probably won't hit the highs of its franchise, but it'll do enough with a lackluster August now here. There are almost a dozen or so movies opening over the next several weeks, and most look like they will struggle to open beyond single digits. It'll be a good time for holdovers.
