Deadline: This weekend’s box office should rev up, thanks to Fox’s Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials which should push past the first installment’s $32.5M opening last year at this time. The film has already opened in overseas markets and has surpassed the first by 40%. Although that kind of percentage increase is not expected to happen domestically, tracking shows the second film based on the YA novel series by James Dashner could end the three-day weekend in the mid-$30M range, maybe $34M-$36M. It opens Thursday in previews at 8 PM. Internationally, expect another 41 markets this weekend as it plays beyond initial territories (the U.K. and Mexico).
One of 2023's biggest and dumbest creature features is making waves right now on streaming around the world.
"If you are already a fan of this franchise, this is a very good option this weekend at the cinema. It's well made, the actors are great and the story/world setting is very interesting." - Bryan (Resident Entertainment)
Ashley Madison-Sex Lies and Scandal Review: The documentary refuses to take a stand on whether or not it wants us to feel bad for cheaters, infuriating viewers with its wishy washy attitude.
