[TheBlayman]

Other than xXX, I don't see the others as top 5.

[Creed]

Split may do okay.

[jacobsever]

I think Split will take it.

Does ANYONE even want another XXX film?!

I can't wait for 20th Century Women, personally.

Me too.

[DanTheMan]

Been interested in Split and The Founder for a while now.

[Astro Zombie]

xXx looks horrible so I'll probably watch it

[Buscemi]

xXx should take the weekend based on the cast alone, though marketing has been sparse. $22 million.

Split could surprise. The Visit made money and this one's actually supposed to be good. $17 million.

The Founder should do okay but not spectacular. $5 million.

20th Century Women has done well in limited release but most of these A24 wide titles fail to connect with general audiences. $2 million.

Is there really any interest in The Resurrection of Gavin Stone? It seems like the only people who fail to realize that 90% of these low-budget religious films don't make money are the theatre chains that continue to book them while refusing day-and-date titles. $1 million.

I'm leaning toward Split. Although the free screenings tomorrow night all across the country may hurt the box office a little.

[ThatOneGuy]

Would love it if Split got it but I'm going to give my vote to xXx

Actually, the preview will only be in 24 markets. It's not on the level of Sing's 200 theatre sneak preview (though I wouldn't be surprised if Universal was planning another preview on that level).

I guess 24 markets won't undermine things too much. And yes, it's nothing like Sing. I think that was at a ton of AMC theaters. At least it was here in the H-Town area. Split is only screening at one theater here tomorrow night.

Voted for Split, won't be surprised if xXx wins. Also won't be surprised when/if they do a xXx/Fast & Furious crossover. It would take exactly one line of dialogue: "Ah, my twin brother's in trouble again, something about cars..."

[Pounder]

Also voted Split.

[Tony208]

Gonna see The Founder and Split. Also gonna watch some XXX.

There's like half a dozen movies I want to see this January. That's 6 more than most years.

[MikeScott]

SPLIT - 30.138 MILLION
xXx - 18.797 MILLION
FOUNDER - 2.8 MILLION
RESURRECTION OF GAVIN STONE - 1 MILLION

Split will definitely breakout.

From your fingers to the masses' ears!

[ctujackbauer]

Split: 19 m
xXx The Return of Xander Cage 9.7 m
The Founder: 5.5 m
The Resurrection of Gavin Stone: 2.1 m
20th Century Women: 1.5 m

[Chaotic]

A Monster Calls is going to have such a massive theater drop. No theater in Colorado is playing after today.

I'm the exact opposite. I don't think there's a single movie in theaters right now I'm even halfway interested in.
