“Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” is touted to pull in $16.5 million this weekend, second to young-adult film “If I Stay” from Time Warner Inc.’s (NYSE: TWX) Warner Bros. studio, which is opening on 2,907 screens and is expected to sell $21.5 million in tickets.
The weekend’s other new release, “When the Game Stands Tall,” comes from TriStar, a subsidiary of Sony Corp. (NYSE: SNE). The film opens on 2,673 screens and is expected to post receipts of $9 million. The movie watchers at Box Office Mojo wonder if another high school sports movie, even one with a currently popular faith-based angle like this one, has anything to add to a genre that’s been mined recently by “Million Dollar Arm” and “Draft Day.”
Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) and its Buena Vista Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy” is forecast to finish in third place this weekend with $15.1 million in ticket sales to add to the more than $230 million the film has pulled in so far.
Behind “Guardians” but ahead of “When the Game Stands Tall” is last week’s box-office leader, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” from Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAB). The “Turtles” hauled in more than $65 million two weeks ago on its opening weekend, and it led the race again last week with $28.5 million. Box Office Mojo expects the film to bring in about $14.8 million this weekend.
