Last month, box office analysts were predicting that Doctor Strange would earn roughly $75 million in its opening weekend.
Box Office Mojo reports that Trolls will actually open in more theaters this weekend, with an estimated 3,950-theater roll-out, followed by Doctor Strange in approximately 3,800 theaters and Hacksaw Ridge in roughly 2,700 theaters.
While both of its competitors are already faring well with critics, Doctor Strange should have no trouble taking the top spot, with a projected $84.6 million.
We’re projecting that Trolls will come in second place this weekend with $42.6 million, followed by Hacksaw Ridge with $14.8 million.
