BOX OFFICE FORECAST

Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning co-star in the third installment of his franchise, The Equalizer.

The R-rated violent thriller is the only new release for the long Labor Day Weekend. Historically, the megaplexes are not crowded the final weekend of summer. Box Office revenue for The Equalizer 3 including Monday could approach $40 million. That’s about the revenue ceiling this time of year. (Box Office Pro)

Blumhouse moved forward one-week the release date of The Exorcist: Believer. It now arrives on October 6th to avoid conflicting with Taylor Swift’s Eras concert film on October 13th. Within hours, presale ticket revenue for Swift’s movie exceeded $10 million.

An adult ticket costs $19.89. Taylor set the children’s price at $13.13. The most popular ticket at every screening appears to be the 13th seat of any row. (Billboard)
