Box Office Mojo reports The Dark Tower will open in 3,200 theaters this weekend, which is much less than the 4,000-plus screens many summer tentpoles open at, with Detroit expanding to 2,800 theaters and Kidnap arriving in 2,200 theaters.
The Dark Tower book series tells the story of Roland Deschain, Mid-World’s last gunslinger, who is traveling southeast across Mid-World’s post-apocalyptic landscape, searching for the powerful but elusive magical edifice known as The Dark Tower.
We’re projecting that The Dark Tower will open with $38.6 million, which may not be much, but will be more than enough to take the top spot.
Matthew McConaughey stars as the man trying to stop Roland Deschain, The Man in Black, who will stop at nothing to destroy The Dark Tower.
