Other new releases also included “Paul, Apostle Of Christ” (Friday’s #8 film with $1.7 million), “Midnight Sun” (#9, $1.5 million), and “Unsane” (#10, $1.4 million). The film should close the weekend with $9-12 million, which will be a far cry from the $25.4 million earned by 2011’s “Gnomeo & Juliet.” This film, moreover, is not expected to match that release’s longevity (it ended up grossing just under $100 million at the domestic box office).
The film took fifth place with only $2.8 million in opening day receipts. New release “Sherlock Gnomes” failed to gain much traction Friday. Its three-day weekend tally will likely land in the $9-11 million range. “Tomb Raider,” which earned $2.9 million, was Friday’s #4 film. It should close the weekend with $11-15 million. “I Can Only Imagine” took third place on Friday with $3.8 million. Pundits anticipate a $15-18 million haul. “Black Panther,” which took second place Friday ($4.4 million), will also claim the runner-up position for the weekend. The three-day figure will trail that of the 2013 original ($37.3 million), but it should be enough to give “Uprising” a victory in this weekend’s race. Analysts expect the film to close the weekend with $24-28 million. The newcomer convincingly won Friday with $10.4 million in receipts. “Pacific Rim Uprising” is poised to move into first place this week.

New indie distributor Global Road Entertainment, the successor to Open Road Films, is launching “Midnight Sun” with tracking for the young adult romantic drama at about $5 million at 2,173 theaters. Three other new films are also opening nationwide this weekend with middling prospects. The second weekends of Alicia Vikander’s “Tomb Raider” and faith-based drama “I Can Only Imagine” are likely to battle for fourth place in the $10 million to $13 million range. “Isle of Dogs” carries a 92% “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Wes Anderson’s stop-motion animated film is set in a dystopian futuristic Japan where dogs have been quarantined on a remote island.

The opening of Paramount Pictures and MGM’s animated comedy “ Sherlock Gnomes” will likely be battling “Black Panther” for second place, with forecasts in the range of $13 million to $18 million at 3,662 theaters. With a $614 million total in its first five weeks, it’s poised to pass “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and “The Avengers” this weekend to become the fifth-highest on that list, trailing only “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” “Avatar,” “Titanic” and “Jurassic World.”
“Black Panther” should score around $15 million to $18 million at 3,834 locations, which would be among the top 10 highest-earning sixth weekends of all time. The film is also opening this weekend in most international markets including China. “Pacific Rim Uprising” has scored mixed reviews from critics with a current 46% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
