"John Wick 3" is preparing for the release and "Endgame" to pass "The Avatar" to the country

Since the beginning of May, the annual box office has seen some improvement, reducing the gap from 2018 by a few percentage points compared to 2019 currently. -9%. Detective Pikachu made his debut last weekend, while Disney Avengers: Endgame came to the fore Avatar in the National Registers and the Highly anticipated debut of John Wick 3 arrives, but the weekend will not be able to generally follow the same weekend of last year, the top ten having delivered more than 200 million dollars thanks to the publication of Deadpool 2 . This weekend will also see the release of A Dog's Journey from Universal with the release of the romantic drama by WB . The Sun is also a star which should in no way surpbad their expectations.

After three consecutive weekends at the box office, expect Avengers: Endgame to be in second place this weekend when Lionsgate releases John Wick : Chapter 3 – Parabellum will occupy the first place with its debut in more than 3,800 sites. The film follows a solid debut for $ 30.4 million for John Wick 2 two years ago and some of the best reviews of the franchise so far – 90% on RottenTomatoes and 73 on Metacritic. A glance at IMDb's page view data shows Parabellum in rhythm just behind his predecessor in the two weeks before the release, as well as The Equalizer 2 ( $ 36 million opening), however, a Look at the 90 days before the Wick 3 shows surpbaded both functions, not to mention its much wider release than either other of these two compositions.

The studio anticipates starts from $ 30 million to $ 35 million, but we are well beyond this range. We expect an opening of $ 45 to $ 55 million . as much as critics have no reason not to push higher. In addition to the critical reviews, the online ticket distributor Fandango.com reports that the film exceeds the predictions of the two previous films Wick combined. On top of that, it will open in 737 more theaters than its predecessor and the May release date is a much better position for a grand opening than the February issue of Wick 2 . We will have a clue as to what we will see on Friday morning after the Thursday night previews. John Wick 2 started the project with $ 2.2 million two years ago and it is expected to meet or exceed that number.

On an international scale, Wick 3 is open day after day in 65 markets, including Australia, Brazil, Russia, Italy, Mexico, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom. United.

In Search of Avengers: Endgame which will become the second most important national publication of all time, ahead of Avatar ($ 760.5 million). At the present time, we expect a drop of about -53% and a three-day decline to of $ 30 million .

We estimate that detective Pikachu will land in third position, dipping 52% on his second weekend for a total of $ 26 million . If these forecasts are maintained, the film should exceed 95 million US dollars in the first ten days of its release.

In fourth position, look for the release of Universal A Dog's Journey which is a sequel to the studio's release in January 2017 A Dog's Purpose which opened with $ 18.2 million en route to a $ 64.5 million domestic race. As promising as these numbers seem, we do not see evidence that this one is up to this feature because it seems to closely follow the release of Sony A Dog's Way Home more early this year, which debuted with $ 11.2 million and ended its run with just over $ 40 million in the domestic market. A look at the data from the IMDb page shows that Dog's Journey is late on the two films that preceded the release, which makes us think of earlier beginnings of to 10 million dollars .

Universal and Amblin badociate for the international release of A Dog's Journey with Universal debuting with North America in 14 markets, including Mexico , Peru and Taiwan. Amblin will handle the release of the film in China this weekend, thanks to its partnership with Alibaba Films.

Then UA [Release995] The Hustle by UA Releasing, which had a modest start last weekend and is expected to fall to around -54% around this weekend for a total of 6 million [19659014] three-day and a national volume approaching $ 24 million after ten days of publication.

Outside of the top five, we find WB's last romantic drama for teenagers . The Sun is also a star which debuts in a little over 2,000 places. The studio expects an opening of about 6 to 9 million dollars. The problem is that we have trouble finding competitions that support such openness. This film receives about 800 rooms less than Everything, Everything and looks much more like releases like April After (opening $ 6 million) and 2018 Midnight Sun [2019007]. ($ 4 million opening), which suggests a start between and $ 4 to $ 6 million for the weekend.

In a limited release version this weekend, Yash Raj will make his debut De Pyaar From to 104 theaters while A24 comes out The Souvenir to four theaters, debut at the edge of the road Trial by Fire in 109 places and Sony will be released Slaughterhouse Rulez on ten theaters.
