BOX OFFICE FORECAST

Two new movies arrive this weekend to challenge James Bond at the box office. No Time to Die probably earns another $25 million in its second weekend. 

Jamie Lee Curtis in the Halloween Kills is predicted to win the weekend box office. The horror saga will also simultaneously stream on Peacock. Altogether, Halloween Kills, playing on 3700 screens, might make $40 million in its debut.

The other new release, a medieval soap opera set in 14th century France, will struggle to reach $10 million. The Last Duel features an all-star cast that includes Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer and Ben Affleck. (Variety)
