Like the seasons, the U.S. box-office about to get colder as several major titles opening in October are on course for quieter domestic box-office openings than the hits of the Summer.<\/p>\n

News came last week via Puck News\u2019 Matthew Belloni<\/a> that the Tom Cruise-led \u201cDigger\u201d has appeared on tracking service NRG with a likely $20 million opening weekend.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s official budget is at $130 million, though various sources place it notably higher than that, so that debut number isn\u2019t great. Warners is likely hoping for another \u201cOne Battle After Another,\u201d which debuted to just $22 million but went on to solid box-office and awards glory.<\/p>\n

That will depend heavily upon the reception to the film, with social media reaction expected to arrive tomorrow as tickets go on sale. Full reviews won\u2019t be coming until well into next week.<\/p>\n

The talk comes as Box-Office Theory has released projections for the next five weeks and, from the looks of it, the two potentially biggest films for October will be the Jessica Chastain-led \u201cOther Mommy\u201d and the \u201cStreet Fighter\u201d film with both tipped to open at around $30 million each.<\/p>\n

Their projections for \u201cDigger\u201d are more rosy at $23.5 million, while the DC Studios film \u201cClayface\u201d is expected to debut at a very similar number.<\/p>\n

Others like \u201cVeity,\u201d \u201cWhalefall,\u201d \u201cThe Social Reckoning,\u201d \u201cPrimetime,\u201d \u201cForgotten Island\u201d and \u201cHeart of the Beast\u201d are all expected to have debuts in the teens. No word on other October titles like \u201cWildwood\u201d and \u201cWicker\u201d.<\/p>\n

The talk comes as the box-office made another headline today with \u201cCoyote vs. Acme\u201d hitting nearly $80 million worldwide and could pass $100 million by the end of its run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warner Bros.
