Summary
$2.5 million in previews put Warner Bros.' “The End of Oak Street” atop this weekend’s new openers, with domestic ticket sales projected at $20 million to $30 million.
Warner Bros. sees $18 million to $23 million in North America and $20 million to $25 million internationally, but the film’s $80 million-plus budget means it will need strong word-of-mouth to turn profitable.
“Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie” drew $1.9 million in previews and is targeting a $20 million debut, roughly in line with 2023’s “The Mighty Movie,” which opened to $22 million.
Sony and Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is still set to lead the box office for a third straight weekend with $65 million to $70 million, even after an expected 55% drop.
That hold would keep “Spider-Man” on pace to top $2 billion worldwide after it already reached $1.68 billion in 12 days, underscoring the tough backdrop for late-summer newcomers.
