Singapore - MINIONS (PG) is poised to become the top debut this weekend and will try to dethrone last week's box office champion JURASSIC WORLD.
JURASSIC WORLD collected US$3.64m during its first 4 days (excluding sneaks), which means it may still gross US$1.82m even if it dips by half. Recent blockbuster AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON dropped a slim 26.7% in its second weekend while FAST & FURIOUS 7 plunged by 51.5%.
The beloved MINIONS spun out from the hit animated film DESPICABLE ME 2, which took US$1.84m in its first 4 days (excluding sneaks). However, MINIONS will not have the additional benefit of IMAX 3D this time as those premium screens still belong to JURASSIC WORLD.
The dino pic will likely stay at no. 1 unless it suffers a massive drop, or if the Minions somehow manage to steal a huge amount of dollars to become the new box office champ.
Meanwhile, POLTERGEIST (PG13) - the remake of 80s horror will try and scare up as much dollars as it can at the theatres. Reviews haven't been great, and it's unlikely to perform on the same level as INSIDIOUS: CHAPTER 3 which opened to US$512K two weekends ago.
Other debuts include teen action comedy BARELY LETHAL (PG13), edited for NC16 thriller CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, and Hong Kong drama WONDER MAMA 妈咪侠 (PG) starring legendary actress Fung Bo Bo.
