Following a dismal performance from last weekends Dark Phoenix and an underwhelming showing from The Secret Life of Pets 2, Hollywood has another pair of franchise titles which have been negatively received by critics; Sony’s Men in Black: International, and Warner’s reboot of Shaft.

Men in Black: International is the most high profile of the weekends new installments with its recognizable brand name, 4,224 theater count and $110 million budget, though none of that seems to have been particularly successful in garnering attention from audiences; pre-sales leading up to release have been very poor, on a similar level (or even below, at some points) last weekends Dark Phoenix. Of course, with a much smaller budget, it doesn’t need to perform to the heights of its past installments. If it can top $35 million this weekend, it will be in good shape, though that’s looking increasingly less likely.

Also opening is Warner Brothers reboot-slash-sequel to the Shaft franchise, which comprises of three films released over the span of thirty years, all with the same title. Marketing has been fairly light, though with a budget of just $30 million, Warner isn’t betting too much on it. Both titles have been receiving very negative reviews so far, though Shaft is slightly better off at 36% compared to MIB‘s 26%.

Amazon is expanding their comedy Late Night after its successful limited run last weekend, though once again it seems unlikely that the film has enough buzz to justify its 2,218 theater count for this weekend. Amazon paid a hefty $13 million for rights to the title back at Sundance, though with expectations of an opening in the low single digit range, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to pay off.

Among holdovers, expect a steep drop for Dark Phoenix, while Pets 2 may be able to hold onto first if MIB underperforms.

The Secret Life of Pets 2 – $21 million Men in Black: International – $19.5 million Aladdin – $16 million Shaft – $13 million Dark Phoenix – $12 million

Late Night – $3.2 million
