Poor Things Box Office Prediction

After a predictably strong run in limited release, Poor Things hopes for a rich box office when it expands nationwide on December 22nd. From director Yorgos Lanthimos in his follow-up to 2018’s The Favourite, the period piece sci-fi black comedy looks to generate numerous Oscar nominations. Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, Jerrod Carmichael, Margaret Qualley, and Kathryn Hunter star.

This past weekend, it entered the top ten (in tenth) on just 82 screens. Its $1.2 million gross scored an impressive $15k per venue and it’s made just over $2 million in two weeks.

With serious awards buzz, this could manage to post a decent wide premiere. On the other hand, competition is fierce with other adult skewing titles like The Iron Claw, The Color Purple, and Ferrari either opening Friday or Christmas Day (Monday).

I’ve held off on doing a forecast for this because I’ve yet to see a verified screen count. When I do, it could alter my thinking. For now I’m setting a figure of $5 million from Friday to Monday, but don’t be surprised if that changes.

Poor Things opening weekend prediction: $5 million (Friday to Monday estimate)
