BOX OFFICE FORECAST

The Avatar sequel will win the box office for a fourth consecutive week with ticket sales approaching $50 million.

Buzzing on social media is the comedy-horror flick, M3GAN. It stars Allison Williams (Get Out and the HBO series Girls) whose character builds a lifelike doll to “protect” a niece. The consequences are deadly. Tracking for M3GAN suggests young women could make this a surprise hit. Weekend revenue may exceed $20 million.

Tom Hanks stars in a remake of a European movie based on the novel, A Man Called Otto. The film is in limited release before going nationwide next weekend. (Box Office Pro)

They are New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco, Kansas City, Vancouver and Toronto. His Memphis estate Graceland hosts a special screening this Sunday afternoon. (Deadline)
