Many film critics expect that The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, inspired by the famous Hunger Games series, will earn about $150 million in its domestic opening in the United States of America, a figure that only 15 films have managed to obtain, according to Variety.
This comes after the movie Wonka, which is currently showing in theaters, achieved about 14.4 million dollars during Friday, after it was shown in 4,203 screens in the United States of America, which is a rather large number amid the fierce competition for the films that are currently being shown.
“Wonka” was expected to reach $35 million heading into the weekend, which would be a very good start for the release, which carries a huge production budget of $125 million and has allocated more money for a marketing spree of more than a month.
