This week’s report takes a look at the first full weekend of September 2018 as our look deeper into 3Q continues.

The Nun

Opening Weekend Range: $35 – 50 million

The Conjuring universe has proven incredibly successful over the last five years as the main films and two Annabelle spin-offs have an average domestic gross of nearly $107 million. This latest spin-off has generated encouraging buzz thus far as a fan favorite character from The Conjuring 2 becomes the focus. Social media growth to this point has outpaced Annabelle: Creation, and the recent surge by the horror genre at the box office makes us confident this one could easily prove to be another breakout.

Peppermint

Opening Weekend Range: $8 – 15 million

Jennifer Garner returns to her action roots in this revenge tale aiming to capture fans of films like Taken and The Foreigner. Early metrics are modest at this time, but there could be room for more upside as release approaches and marketing fully kicks in.

Updated Ranges

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! ($28 – 38 million)

Unfriended: Dark Web ($6 – 10 million)

Mission: Impossible – Fallout ($55 – 69 million)

Teen Titans GO! to the Movies ($15 – 23 million)

The Darkest Minds ($7 – 13 million)
