Weekend predictions: no signs of a breakout hit heading into Memorial Day

May 24th, 2024

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Three new wide releases, each aimed at a different audience, are taking a crack at drawing moviegoers back into theaters over Memorial Day weekend. Based on audience tracking and their Thursday previews, it doesn’t look as though any of them will have a huge impact on the market, although none look likely to be disasters. That’s been the story of the year so far: most films that have come out have landed at least somewhere in the ballpark of expectations, but not a single one has become the blockbuster we need.

Here’s how Memorial Day, traditionally a launchpad for Summer blockbusters, is shaping up this year. More...
