Northern lights could appear in Central New York as the local forecast outlines what to expect for Friday and the weekend, with nicer June weather on the horizon and details from the regional meteorologist.
Forecasts for May 8–10, 2026 put Mortal Kombat II on track to open at $40–$45M and lead the weekend, with The Devil Wears Prada 2 in Week 2 aiming for $38–$43M and Lionsgate’s Michael in Week 3 at $25–$30M; the top three likely exceed $100M combined as Warner Bros. pivots Mortal Kombat for a soft reboot, Prada 2 continues its strong reception, and Michael edges toward domestic milestones, setting up a hot start to the summer box office.
Box Office Theory’s weekend forecast projects The Super Mario Galaxy Movie to about $71.5M for its second weekend (domestic total around $309.4M), Project Hail Mary to roughly $19.5M (total about $250.7M), and You, Me & Tuscany to about $10.3M (total about $10.3M). The top films are expected to generate roughly $118M for the weekend, a frame light relative to 2025 but stronger than 2019, with numbers subject to revision.
Forecasts for April 10–12, 2026 place The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on track to lead with a $65–$72 million second weekend after a $131.7 million debut (and $207.6 million domestic), while Project Hail Mary remains a solid #2 with a $15–$20 million range in Week 4 and You, Me & Tuscany opening between $8–$12 million.
Project Hail Mary is forecast to top the domestic box office for a second weekend with a $40–$50 million range and about 20% market share, following an $80.5 million opening; Pixar's Hoppers looks to sustain a solid family run with a $9–$12 million range, while Warner Bros.' They Will Kill You opens modestly around $5–$7 million. The weekend appears light on cross-demographic competition, with next week's Mario release looming large, and Hail Mary's appeal limited among younger audiences.
Pixar's HOPPERS is forecast to remain No. 1 this weekend with a $23–28M range, buoyed by strong word-of-mouth and solid reviews; Reminders of Him is expected to open around $15–18M, while Scream 7 projects to $7–10M in its third weekend, as the top 3 films vie for the box office lead.
Pixar’s Hoppers is forecast to open $40–$50 million to lead the March weekend, buoyed by stellar early reviews (97% on Rotten Tomatoes) and strong family interest ahead of the Super Mario Galaxy release. Scream 7 is tracking for $25–$33 million in its second weekend, riding nostalgia but hampered by a 31% RT score and a B- Cinemascore that could temper momentum. The Bride! from Warner Bros. aims for $10–$15 million as a niche, period-piece thriller led by Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley, a riskier bet that could pay off with a devoted audience or fade quickly. The article also discusses Pixar’s post-pandemic original performance, franchise dynamics, and the challenges of non-sequel fare in Q1.
Paramount's Scream 7 is tracking for a franchise-best domestic debut around $50 million (potentially up to $60M), helped by Neve Campbell's return and renewed marketing, though behind-the-scenes turnover and weather could mute momentum. In Week 3, Sony's GOAT is projected at $9–$12M and Warner Bros.' Wuthering Heights at $7–$10M as counter-programming.
Forecasters say a significant snowstorm is likely for the Philadelphia region this weekend, with a potential icy mix. Snow could arrive late Saturday night and persist through Sunday (possibly into Monday) under bitterly cold, teens-to-near-20s highs; the system may bring heavy snowfall and could trigger ice-coated roads and power outages.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is forecast to debut with $15–20M and could top the weekend, outrunning Avatar: Fire and Ash’s $12–17M projection as it seeks to extend its four-week lead; other contenders include Primate, Zootopia 2, and The Housemaid, while the Bone Temple’s director switch and more violent world-building add risk to its momentum.
