10. Knives Out - $3.5m / $145m / $154m

Parasite - $1.3m / $27m / $33m
Jojo Rabbit - $1m / $23m / $27.5m
Ford V Ferrari - $1m / $113m / $117m

The newest Bad Boys and a remake of Dolittle are the only openers. The former should be able to fall directly between the 1995 gross of Bad Boys ($66m) and its 2003 sequel ($138.6m). Meanwhile, the Robert Downey Jr remake probably won't come close to either Eddie Murphy film. The film is massively expensive - $175m. The awards holdovers should do well with just 2 openers. 1917 was even bigger than anticipated. Little Women looks set for $100m+. Parasite, Jojo Rabbit, and Ford are all getting expansions - all close to a thousand theaters. Joker and Hollywood are also getting re-releases, but I doubt either will be able to add a million or two.
