March’s penultimate weekend is set to be an exciting one for moviegoers, with the release of the highly anticipated film “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire”. Following the success of “Kung Fu Panda 4” and “Dune: Part Two” earlier in the month, expectations are high for the latest installment in the Ghostbusters franchise.
“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” is scheduled to open on March 22, 2024, with an estimated weekend opening range of $35M-$45M. The film is predicted to appeal to both older fans and younger audiences, thanks to the return of core cast members and strong pre-sales that are trending ahead of other recent releases.
Another film generating buzz is “Immaculate” by Neon, with an opening weekend range of $3M-$5M. The movie is expected to find success due to its star power and genre appeal.
However, despite the anticipation surrounding “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire”, the film has faced criticism for its weaker social footprints and critical reviews compared to its predecessor, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife”.
As “Kung Fu Panda 4” and “Dune: Part Two” continue to draw audiences, they may face tough competition from the Ghostbusters sequel, potentially impacting their box office numbers. Projections suggest an overall decrease in box office numbers compared to previous years during the same calendar frames.
With a mix of blockbuster sequels and potential sleeper hits, March’s penultimate weekend promises to be an exciting time at the movies. Fans will have to wait and see how each film performs at the box office and whether “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” can live up to its predecessors.
