Whereas it had a greater maintain than most different motion pictures this weekend, with it solely slipping 50% to $5.48 million, contemplating final weekend’s dismal opening, a remaining tally within the neighbourhood of $35 million appears to be within the playing cards for this big-budget ardour challenge.

When it comes to counter-programming, Angel Studios has a strong word-of-mouth hit with The Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot, which made $3.2 million this weekend, for a $6.79 million complete.
