So, based on something I heard at the arcade while playing Dance Dance Revolution and Whack A Mole with Myles Garrett, here’s my best take on the weekend box-office. #1 Ford v. Ferrari - Ever since the deal closed where Disney took over the Fox slate its been a weird sight on opening weekend.

For now, let’s say the 3 day is in the mid 20’s, and once you add today and tomorrow in plus the other shows they’ve had so far, it should end up in the mid 30’s with a decent shot at 40. #3 Ford v. Ferrari - Rock solid today, should end up in the low teens for the 3 day and the high teens for the 5 day. #4 A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - Also looks pretty good, figure 10 for the 3, low teens for the 5. #5 Queen & Slim - Curiously, they didn’t do previews last night, but it started red hot today.

What’s interesting is that outside of Ford vs. Ferrari, Disney has really struggled to make any of the Fox 20th titles work.
