Imaginary Box Office Prediction

Blumhouse hopes audiences turn out for the grisly horror flick Imaginary on March 8th. From Truth or Dare and Kick-Ass 2 maker Jeff Wadlow, the tale of a demented stuffed bear stars DeWanda Wise, Pyper Braun, Tom Payne, Taegen Burns, Veronica Falcón, and Betty Buckley.

Originally slated for early February, the low-budget affair ($13 million reportedly) follows its studio’s model of minor price tags hoping for major returns. This certainly won’t make Five Nights at Freddy’s money when it comes to Blumhouse productions featuring demonic furry creatures.

It could, however, come close or even exceed the budget in its first weekend and that’d be just fine.

Imaginary opening weekend prediction: $10.5 million

Truth or Dare Box Office Prediction

Blumhouse Productions and Universal Pictures are hopeful horror fans will be game for Truth or Dare next weekend. Debuting on Friday the 13th, the film puts a scary spin on the time honored contest that we all familiarized ourselves with in our teens. That’s the target audience that it wishes to reach. Jeff Wadlow, who directed Kick–Ass 2, is behind the camera with a cast including Lucy Hale, Tyler Posey, Violett Beane, Hayden Szeto, and Landon Liboiron.

Originally scheduled to premiere on April 27, the pic wisely moved off that weekend when Iron Man, Black Panther, and other Avengers claimed it. However, the current release date poses its own problems as fellow genre title A Quiet Place will be in its sophomore frame and likely still making noise.

That said, Blumhouse has a knack for turning low-budget fright fests into hits. They’ve just come off a banner 2017 that included Split, Get Out, and Happy Death Day. I don’t, however, feel Truth or Dare will manage that trio’s grosses. I’ll estimate a debut in the mid teens range.

Truth or Dare opening weekend prediction: $16.7 million
