Box Office: ‘Blink Twice’ and ‘The Crow’ to Close Strong Summer Movie Season With a Whimper
variety.comRebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Welcome to the dog days of summer. This weekend at the box office will be sluggish as two new releases — director Zoe Kravitz’s twisted thriller “Blink Twice” and “The Crow” reboot starring Bill Skarsgård — target middling debuts. “Blink Twice” is aiming for $7 million to $8 million from 3,000 venues while “The Crow” looks to bring in $6 million to $9 million from 2,500 theaters.
Despite the pair of newcomers, last weekend’s champ “Alien: Romulus” will duel with “Deadpool & Wolverine” for the top spot on North American charts.
The R-rated “Romulus” is projected to add $16 million to $19 million in its sophomore outing, declining 55% to 60% from its $41 million debut.
Meanwhile, “Deadpool & Wolverine” is targeting a similar $16 million to $18 million range in its fifth weekend of release.
