Box Office Mojo reports that The Emoji Movie is slated to debut in more than 3,700 theaters this weekend, with the R-rated Atomic Blonde arriving in approximately 3,200 theaters.
We’re projecting that The Emoji Movie will be the winner, but not by much, taking its opening weekend with $32.5 million, followed closely behind by Atomic Blonde with $30.5 million.
Arriving in theaters this weekend is Sony’s animated comedy The Emoji Movie and Focus Features’ action-thriller Atomic Blonde, both of which are expected to fare well, although only one can come out on top.
This recent trend certainly bodes well for Atomic Blonde, which stars Charlize Theron and James McAvoy, although it will still likely just fall short of The Emoji Movie, despite giving it a run for its money.
