Box Office Mojo reports that Almost Christmas and Arrival will both debut in roughly 2,200 theaters, while Shut In is slated to open in 1,850 theaters.
Given all of this critical acclaim, it’s possible that Arrival could actually challenge Doctor Strange with an impressive performance in its opening weekend.
Doctor Strange debuted in 3,882 theaters last weekend, pulling in an impressive $21,911 per-screen average.
Rounding out the top 5 will be Trolls $30.2 million, Almost Christmas ($14.5 million) and Shut In ($8.9 million).
