This weekend, it will go up against the long-awaited and oft-delayed horror sequel Rings and STX Entertainment’s drama The Space Between Us, in this weekend’s race for box office supremacy.
Box Office Mojo estimates that Rings will open in roughly 3,000 theaters this weekend, while The Space Between Us will open in roughly 2,800 theaters.
As of now, neither Rings nor The Space Between Us has enough reviews posted on Rotten Tomatoes for a “TomatoMeter” score, but that will surely change between now and Friday.
Still, while it continues to impress this weekend, we’re predicting that it will drop to second place with $16.9 million, falling between the projected winner Rings and the other newcomer, STX Entertainment’s The Space Between Us, which we’re projecting will open in third place with $12.6 million.
