Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day Box Office Prediction

Walt Disney studios have given their latest effort one important distinction on this blog as Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is easily the longest title I’ve yet to make a box office projection for. Based on a well-known 1972 children’s book, Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner headline the adaptation which Disney hopes will capture the attention of family audiences.

The film chronicles the Cooper family’s day with all those negative adjectives listed above. In Disney’s favor is that competition for younger moviegoers is fairly light, even though The Boxtrolls and The Maze Runner are still performing well. Critical reaction has been positive so far with an 83% score on Rotten Tomatoes at press time.

I am not expecting Alexander to be a huge performer out of the gate, but it’s likely to open decently and have sturdy legs in subsequent weekends. This certainly could surpass the $20 million mark in weekend 1, but I’ll project it falls just under that.

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day opening weekend prediction: $18.7 million
