Chainsaw Man \u2014 The Movie: Reze Arc<\/i>, the latest ‘R’-rated anime movie from Sony\/Crunchyroll, is projected to top the weekend box office with $17 million in ticket sales through Oct. 26. The movie sold $3 million in Thursday (Oct. 23) preview screenings.<\/p>\n
One of four new releases this weekend, Reze Arc <\/em>is expected to surpass 20th Century Studios’ biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere <\/em>(projected $11.2 million), Paramount Pictures’ romance drama Regretting You<\/em> (projected $11.1 million), starring Mckenna Grace and Mason Thames, and Neon’s ‘R’-rated supernatural horror movie Shelby Oaks<\/em> (projected $2.9 million).<\/p>\n “While neither Deliver Me<\/em> or Regretting<\/em> is expected to storm the box office this weekend, both films will benefit by having built-in fanbases and there likely won’t be all that much overlap between the audiences,” Daniel Garris, with BoxOfficeReport.com, wrote in an online post<\/a>.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the former box office champ, Universal’s Black Phone 2<\/em>, starring Ethan Hawke and Mason Thames, is expected to finish at No. 2 over the weekend with $12.9 million in ticket sales, upping its 10-day tally near $50 million.<\/p>\n Disney’s Tron: Ares<\/em> is expected to rank No. 5 over the weekend with a projected $4.4 million in ticket sales, down 60% from its second-weekend box office take. Other box office returnees include Lionsgate’s Good Fortune<\/em> (projected $3 million), Warner’s One Battle After Another<\/em> ($1.9 million), and Paramount\/Miramax’s Roofman<\/em> ($1.8 million).<\/p>\n Subscribe HERE to the FREE Media Play News<\/em> Daily Newsletter!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
