Angel Studios is hoping for more holiday luck in the form of Sight over the Memorial Day frame. Terry Chen stars as real-life figure Ming Wang, a Chinese immigrant who became a well-known eye surgeon in the United States. Andrew Wyatt directs. The supporting cast includes Greg Kinnear, Danni Wang, Raymond Ma, Bennet Wang, Jayden Zhang, Wai Ching Ho, and Fionnula Flanagan.
Last summer, the aforementioned distributor scored a major summer surprise via Sound of Freedom. Over the extended six-day July 4th weekend, it debuted to over $40 million with an eventual $184 million domestic total.
Follow-ups have brought in considerably less coin for Angel, which specialize in dramas with faith-based leanings. Last October, After Death premiered with just over $5 million. In December, The Shift came in with a little less than $5 million. Cabrini in March started with a tad over $7 million.
I’m eyeballing a similar prescription for Sight and maybe a little less comparatively. With an extra day of grosses, I think it gets over $5 million though not by much.
Sight opening weekend prediction: $5.3 million (Friday to Monday estimate)
