If our predictions are accurate, it should be a close call at the box office, with Ghostbusters just barely beating out The Secret Life of Pets with $64 million.
After a lackluster 4th of July holiday at the box office, Universal’s animated comedy The Secret Life of Pets breathed new life into the sagging summer season last weekend with a whopping $104.3 million.
Box Office Mojo reports that Ghostbusters will debut in more than 3,700 theaters, while The Infiltrator doesn’t have a theater count estimate.
Of course, with the top two so close together, it could very well turn out the other way around, with The Secret Life of Pets repeating atop the box office, so we’ll have to wait and see.
