BOX OFFICE FORECAST
Written by KingCnote on February 11, 2022
Three new movies arrive opposite the Super Bowl and the Olympics. With that in mind, Death on the Nile will finish with the gold medal, Jennifer Lopez in Marry Me takes the silver and Blacklight starring Liam Neeson won’t be close to the medals podium.
The ensemble cast in the murder mystery, Death on the Nile, will attract a wide-ranging audience. The cast includes Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Russell Brand, Letitia Wright, Annette Bening and Kenneth Branagh. Ticket revenue from 3200 theaters will approach $15 million.
Owen Wilson, Colombian singer Maluma and J-Lo star in the romantic comedy Marry Me. It’s one of her best-reviewed films according to Rotten Tomatoes. Couples can make it a date night at 3600 theaters or stay home and chill watching it on Peacock. Streaming Marry Me probably curtails box office numbers, which is projected around $10 million.
Blacklight is yet another action-thriller from Liam Neeson. Revenue will struggle to reach $5 million at 2700 screens. (Box Office Mojo)
