The box office weekend is underway with Warner Bros and Bad Robot’s latest film, The End of Oak Street, leading the new arrivals. The PG-13 title brought in $2.5 million from Thursday night previews in the United States. Analysts project a global opening between $38 million and $48 million as the film rolls out across 74 international territories. The story centers on a neighborhood forced to contend with an encroaching prehistoric jungle.
Foreign markets are expected to provide a significant portion of the total revenue for the film. Current data shows the production cost sits between $80 million and $92 million, with positive critical reception currently holding at 85 percent on review aggregator platforms. While the domestic outlook remains steady, school schedules continue to influence attendance patterns across North America.
Paramount and Spin Master also debuted Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie this weekend. The film secured $1.9 million in stateside previews across 2,800 theaters. This entry has already seen a strong international performance with a running cume of $35.4 million from markets including France, the UK, and Germany. Industry estimates place the domestic opening in the mid-to-high teens.
Sony and Marvel Studios continue to dominate the top spot with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The film concluded its second week with $205.7 million and now holds a domestic total of $715.8 million. It currently maintains a higher second-week haul than Avengers: Endgame, though it trails the numbers recorded by Star Wars: The Force Awakens during the same period.
