This week’s only new addition to our long range report, Sony’s Miss Bala, is slated for release on February 1. Tracking for LD Entertainment’s Jacob’s Ladder and Aviron’s The Informer will be covered at a later date.

Miss Bala

Opening Weekend Range: $8 – 15 million

PROS:

Demand for more female-driven action films could result in notable interest for this film, especially among Latino communities thanks to star Gina Rodriguez. Counter-programming the male-dominated Super Bowl on opening Sunday could be another advantage.

CONS:

Early trailer trends and social media impact are lukewarm at this point in time with metrics drawing comparisons to films like Peppermint and Proud Mary.
