End of Oak Street - Dog Days Dark Horse?
Does The End of Oak Street have the potential to be a dog days breakout? There's been little chatter since the trailer dropped, but two big stars and a unique premise might be enough to bring people out. I always seem to miss the August hits in my predictions and it's opening around the same time slot that Weapons and Alien: Romulus occupied in previous years. Am I attaching too much weight to that comparison?
Right now I'm predicting a $38–43M opening, with enough of a multiplier to leg out past $110M if reactions are positive. That said, with J.J. Abrams attached, the final product could differ significantly from what's advertised and generate negative word of mouth. Am I way off base?
