Notable Openings This Weekend:Â Ghostbusters, The Infiltrator
Ghostbusters is finally opening. I can’t read one more tweet about this movie. It’s a movie! Geez Louise, enough already! Now having said that, I’m very much looking forward to discussing this film once I actually see it. Now here’s a little inside baseball – by the time you read this you’ll already know what I think. That’s right. My review can be found right here. But as I write this, I still haven’t seen the film. I feel like a time traveler. Enough with the butterfly theories though, let’s get into it:
First and foremost, the reviews are good. Nobody expected a Rotten Tomato score above 70%. And for all the diehard Ghostbuster fans screaming at the top of their lungs about this film, they’re still going to see it. That’s a winning formula. The real test will be word of mouth next weekend.
HOW WILL IT ALL BREAK DOWN…
In all likelihood, Ghostbusters will finish second to The Secret Life of Pets, which I’m sure the negative nellies will be quick to point out as a big fat Slimer fail. If Ghostbusters can get to $50 Million, it’s a win. I believe that will happen.
1. The Secret Life of Pets – $56 Million
2. Ghostbusters – $53 Million
3. The Legend of Tarzan – $12 Million
4. Finding Dory – $11 Million
5. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates – $8 Million
