Mandalorian and Grogu Eye Memorial Day Box Office Crown

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu are forecast to lead Memorial Day weekend with a 3‑day gross of about $85–95 million and a 4‑day total of roughly $100–115 million, capturing about 31% of the market. It’s the first theatrical Star Wars release since 2019, riding strong family appeal despite middling reviews and potential oversaturation. Lionsgate’s Michael is likely to place second at around $15–25M over the holiday, while The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Obsession battle for third in roughly the $7–12M range each. Other titles like I Love Boosters or Passenger could sneak into the Top 5. The Mandalorian release, with notable IMAX exposure, could surpass $100M over four days, serving as a key barometer after Solo’s softer opening in similar frames.

Devil Wears Prada 2 Aims for Blockbuster Summer Kickoff

Box Office Theory projects The Devil Wears Prada 2 to open about $84.3 million domestically this weekend, joining Michael’s $42.1 million sophomore frame for a strong summer launch; Prada 2 benefits from a premium‑format footprint, Mother’s Day carryover, and a female‑driven appeal, with critics at ~75% Certified Fresh and strong word‑of‑mouth for Michael. Some cannibalization is possible, but the two films are expected to coexist in the early weeks as other titles like Hokum and Animal Farm round out the slate.

"The Equalizer 3: Denzel Washington's Violent Farewell Dominates Labor Day Weekend Box Office"

The Equalizer 3 is expected to have a strong debut over the Labor Day weekend, aiming for the second-highest opening in the history of the holiday. The film is projected to earn between $28 million and $34 million over the three-day weekend and between $35 million and $42 million over the four-day weekend. The franchise has been consistent in its box office performance, and with an older audience base, backloading throughout the weekend is expected. However, the ongoing strikes and the impact of Hurricane Idalia on theater closures in Florida may affect projections.

"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny: A Frustrating but Solid Sendoff"

The long Fourth of July weekend is set to feature the debut of "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," with a projected opening weekend range of $60M-$77M for the 3-day period and $80M-$103M for the 5-day period. The film's nostalgia factor and the addition of co-star/co-writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge are expected to boost its appeal. However, pre-sales have been mixed, and competition from other films like "Avatar: The Way of Water" and "Jurassic World Dominion" could impact its performance. Additionally, "Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken" is expected to attract families with young daughters as a counter-programming option.
