**Knives Out - $2m / $158.5m / $165m

Parasite - $1.5m / $35m / ???
Jojo Rabbit - $1.3m / $30m / $33m

Birds of Prey is the only opener. Reviews are generally positive, and after next weekend's 4-5 openers, the rest of the month and the bulk of March sees only one or two movies per week. That will help legs. Last weekend, The Rhythm Section barely made the top 10. This weekend because of light drops, Knives Out will likely be able to move back in the top 10. As for the Oscar holdovers, 1917 should be able to finish with around $150m even without a Best Picture win. With that win, it could go to $160-170m. That would make it the highest grossing Picture winner since Lord of the Rings: Return of the Kings 16 years ago. Parasite will be at $35m by the time the ceremony wraps up. If it loses Picture, it finishes with about $38-39m. If it wins, it can get to $40-45m despite being available for home viewing. That would put it in line with Birdman and Spotlight's grosses. Jojo Rabbit looks set for low 30's. It's held on surprisingly well the past several weekends. Little Women will cross $100m sometime tomorrow, and Ford V Ferrari will hit $117-118m.
