Well, that victory looks like it’s going to be hard fought, as the opening weekend estimates are in, and between $40 and $50 million looks to be the not-so magic range for the hotly discussed film.
Which means that if Ghostbusters falls prey to the usual “half-off” slump most big films suffer in their second weekend, it’s looking at a comparative $20 – $25 million second frame.
Which is interesting, considering The Enterprise is exactly what might take a big chunk out of its audience in week 2 of general release.
Star Trek Beyond is scheduled to open on July 22nd, just a week after Ghostbusters tries to prove to the world that it ain’t afraid of no ghosts.
