Only one new wide release dares to confront "Frozen II" this weekend, and that brave new release is "Playmobil: The Movie". Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the film will be able to crack the Top 5. In fact, it's going to have a hard time making the Top 10. The film was released today by STX, finally, after sitting in limbo since 2017 when Global Road went bankrupt, and it is expected to rake in around $2 million from 2,300 locations. The film was already released overseas, but only managed to deliver $12 million from international markets, so it's safe to say expectations for the U.S. release are very low.
Last week's legal drama "Dark Waters" starring Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway has expanded into over 2,000 theaters this weekend, and according to projections, it might end up with as much as $4.5 million this weekend.
In limited release, it might be worth checking out Amazon's true story adventure drama "The Aeronauts" starring Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones. The film opened today in 185 theaters.
