Sicario: Day of the Soldado is expected to open in roughly 2,900 theaters while Uncle Drew is expected to open in more than 2,600 theaters, both a far cry from the 4,475 theaters Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom opened in, the second widest opening of all time behind last year’s Despicable Me 3 (4,529 theaters).
Despite coming in far under its predecessor, this Jurassic World sequel will have no trouble taking care of the two box office newcomers this weekend, Sony’s thriller sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado and Lionsgate’s basketball comedy Uncle Drew.
While Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will suffer a big drop, it should have no trouble winning with $67.8 million.
Universal’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom opened with a huge debut of $148 million, which fell $2 million shy of the original estimates on Sunday, and $60.8 million short of the then-record debut of $208.8 million of 2015’s Jurassic World.
