The first weekend in October brings three new releases to challenge Miss Peregrine, Universal’s The Girl On the Train, Fox Searchlight’s The Birth Of a Nation and Lionsgate’s Middle School: The Worst Years Of My Life.
Box Office Mojo reports that The Girl On the Train will debut in more than 3,000 theaters, while Middle School will arrive in roughly 2,600 theaters and The Birth Of a Nation is set to debut in 2,000 theaters.
We’re predicting that, despite some middling reviews, The Girl On the Train will take the top spot with $24.3 million.
In the thriller The Girl On the Train, Rachel directs from an adapted screenplay by Erin Cressida Wilson (Men, Women and Children).
