\n\tThis weekend will belong to Sony\/Marvel Studios\u2019 Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>, but the bright new shiny event title hopeful is Warner Bros\/Bad Robot\u2019s The End of Oak Street<\/a>, which in U.S. previews Thursday night is estimated to do around $2 million-plus after showtimes that began at 1 p.m. at 3,200 sites.<\/p>\n

\n\tNote that it\u2019s still early with that forecast, and this PG-13 feature is leaning family given how women are the most notable on tracking, not just with mothers but also with Anne Hathaway fans. Ewan McGregor also stars. Some PG-13 comps right now include pre-Covid Rampage, which did $2.4M in 2018, and post-Covid Blue Beetle, which did $3.3M in previews and opened in mid-August 2023 to $25M.<\/p>\n

\n\tRentrak reports that only 51% of K-12 schools are off as kids head back to school. On the brighter side for the motion picture industry, 95% colleges remain off.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt Follows filmmaker David Robert Mitchell directed, wrote and produced Oak Street, about a neighborhood that suddenly finds itself next door to a prehistoric jungle with dinosaurs who become worse intruders than the neighbor\u2019s dog. The movie will share Imax with Universal\u2019s The Odyssey and PLFs with Spider-Man: Brand New Day for a domestic outlook that\u2019s between $18M-$23M and a foreign estimate between $20M-$25M in 74 territories. The End of Oak Street will pave a way to France, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, UK, China and Japan this weekend at 24,000 screens. We\u2019ve heard a varying range for the production cost from net $80M to $92M (there\u2019s plenty of VFX in the movie). Rotten Tomatoes critics are at 85% certified fresh.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso opening wide this weekend is Paramount and Spin Master\u2019s PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie at 3,545 theaters and Angel Studios\u2019 The Brink of War at 2,083 in North America. As we told you, Brand New Day is expecting to do between $57M-$72M in its third weekend stateside.<\/p>\n
