While Girls Trip and Valerian are expected to open with solid numbers, Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk should have no trouble coming out on top with a predicted $60.3 million.
World War II epic Dunkirk, Universal’s R-rated comedy Girls Trip and STX Entertainment’s sci-fi thriller Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
Box Office Mojo reports that the Dunkirk, from heralded director Christopher Nolan, will open in approximately 3,600 theaters, followed by director Luc Besson’s Valerian in 3,400 theaters and director Malcolm D. Lee’s comedy Girls Trip opening in roughly 2,500 theaters.
If Dunkirk hits this projection, it certainly wouldn’t be a record debut for Christopher Nolan, but it would be an improvement over his last outing.
