Last weekend, the horror-thriller Don’t Breathe managed to end Suicide Squad’s three-week reign atop the box office with $26.4 million, and this weekend it will face two newcomers, 20th Century Fox’s thriller Morgan and DreamWorks and Touchstone’s drama The Light Between the Oceans, with the true story drama Southside With You also expected to expand.
Box Office Mojo reports that Morgan will be released in approximately 2,000 theaters, while The Light Between the Oceans is expected to debut in 1,500 theaters.
The Labor Day holiday traditionally marks the end of the summer movie season, and the end of huge box office grosses.
While Don’t Breathe didn’t put up staggering numbers last weekend, it will still be playing in over 1,000 more theaters than its competitors.
