Sony could hold two of the top three spots at the US box office this weekend, as of Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which brought in a whopping $5.9 million in Thursday night previews. This is an excellent result, especially since it was recorded on the night of the NBA finals. Just before the pandemic, Bad Boys For Life It earned 6.4 million in previews, closing out a $62 million first weekend.
If the film were to collect around twenty million in total on Friday (including previews), a weekend of between 55 and 60 million dollars cannot be ruled out, i.e. a truly satisfactory launch which would also represent a great return at the box office for Will Smith after the Oscar slap scandal. Not only that: it’s also good news after the summer season got off to a terrible start.
He could remain in second place over the weekend Garfield: A Tasty Mission, also a Sony film, and the idea is that it can raise another ten million dollars, exceeding 68 million in total. In third place we will find IF – Imaginary friendswith 7 million dollars and a total of 92 million, while the horror previews The Watchers they don’t promise anything good: Ishana Shyamalan’s film collected 1 million on Thursday, and should debut in fourth place with just 6-7 million.
