Collectively the three stars of Paranoia have starred in some of the most beloved film franchises we have: Star Wars. The Hunger Games. Harry Potter. Indiana Jones. The Dark Knight trilogy.
All of which will mean precisely jack squat, I believe, when it comes to Paranoia‘s box office performance. The thriller about high tech and corporate espionage stars Liam Hemsworth, Harrison Ford, and Gary Oldman. Yes, it has recognizable stars but the pic seems to be generating very little buzz and reviews so far have been only fair.
With an extremely busy marketplace, Paranoia seems to be the kind of film that’ll struggle to find an audience. I believe a double digit opening gross is questionable. On the bright side, it has only a $15 million budget. I’ll say it gets to double digits, but just barely. Paranoia will likely make in three days what Liam’s Hunger Games: Catching Fire will earn in its first hour.
Paranoia opening weekend prediction: $10.3 million
