The World’s End Box Office Prediction

The World’s End is the latest sci-fi comedy from stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. You may know this duo from Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Paul.

There is no question that there’s a built-in audience for these performers and their pictures. The question is: how big? I think an appropriate barometer is their last film together, 2011’s Paul. It opened to a decent $13 million opening weekend and took in $37 million domestically. 

Reviews have been solid and The World’s End stands at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. There is some steep competition out there. We’re the Millers is continuing to bring in comedy crowds and I’m predicting horror pic You’re Next will have a healthy debut.

Ultimately, I believe this will open pretty much right on par with Paul two years ago.

The World’s End opening weekend prediction: $12.4 million
