Two very different monster movies will be fighting for first place on another busy April weekend. Meanwhile, Truth or Dare opens in wide release, Beirut hopes to capture an audience after a lackluster Wednesday start, while a number of potential other releases are still up in the air.

Rampage is the latest video game adaptation to hit theaters, an action thriller based on the 80s arcade game of the same name. This is the first (and possibly last) of Warner Brothers adaptations of the Midway Games brand, which they acquired for $33 million all the way back in 2009. This gave them the film rights to such franchises as Mortal Kombat and Space Invaders. Warner initially tried to get a Rampage film off the ground all the way back in 2011, yet it fell through until now. Tracking has increased in the past few weeks to around $35-$40 million, but I believe it may underperform for a number of reasons.

Considering Rampage is the third 3D/IMAX big budget video game-centric title in the last month, audiences may be a bit tired after Tomb Raider and Ready Player One. On top of that, those in search of a big action movie are likely holding out for Avengers: Infinity War. Not to mention, A Quiet Place already cleaned up the PG-13 market last week. Granted, with a budget of $120 million, overseas grosses will get this into the green without a hitch – even if domestic audiences fail to show up.

The other big release this weekend is Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare. This is a great example of a film that probably would’ve done fine on its own, but got screwed over by other films changing release dates; initially set for the 27th, Universal snatched up the Friday the 13th release date after The New Mutants shifted to February, as well as avoiding competition with the third Cloverfield film (although, we all know how that turned out). Unfortunately, once it became clear that A Quiet Place was going to be much bigger than initially anticipated, Avengers: Infinity War had already staked out the 27th, leaving Truth or Dare in limbo.

While there are, of course, examples of films doing fine even after being released a week after a similar title which drastically overperformed (think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a week after Guardians of the Galaxy), it certainly makes things more difficult. Those in need of PG-13 scares already pumped $50 million into A Quiet Place last weekend, and probably aren’t thrilled by Truth or Dare‘s cheap premise and 21% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Considering the $3.5 million budget, teen audiences should almost certainly make this a mild success, but it will almost certainly put a stop to Blumhouse’s long streak of $20 million + openings.

Two films initially scheduled for wide release are seemingly disappearing this weekend; Borg Vs. McEnroe and Sgt. Stubby. Borg has now been shifted to limited release, while Sgt. is apparently holding its ground – though neither films have theater counts, and are seemingly absent from every theaters showtimes near me for the coming weekend. To have this happen at all is fairly unusual, for it to happen twice in a weekend is rather bizarre. At this point, it’s impossible to know how either of these films will play out.

Finally, Beirut and Isle of Dogs are hitting nationwide numbers this weekend. Isle of Dogs will likely take in around $6 million, while Beirut will be lucky to hit half of that in its five day start.

Predictions

A Quiet Place – $29 million Rampage – $27.5 million Truth or Dare – $15 million Ready Player One – $14.3 million Blockers – $13 million Isle of Dogs – $6.2 million

Beirut – $2.8 million (five day)
