Primetime Eyes Box Office Battle vs. A24 Hits
6 Sep
Summary
- Primetime is projected to earn $10 million to $15 million in its debut.
- A $13.6 million opening is needed to enter A24's top 5 debuts.
- The film follows a journalist's obsession with a true-crime show.
Robert Pattinson stars in the upcoming A24 crime drama, Primetime, which premiered at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. The film follows Chris Hansen, a journalist whose fascination with a true-crime show causes his life to unravel amid personal crises and a jeopardized investigation. As the movie gears up for its North American release on September 25, industry projections estimate an opening weekend of $10 million to $15 million.
This projected debut places Primetime in direct comparison with other successful A24 releases. To secure a spot among the studio's top 5 opening weekends, the film must exceed the $13.6 million achieved by Hereditary. Should Primetime meet its box office forecast, it would also surpass the $10.4 million domestic debut of 2014's Nightcrawler, a comparable true-crime drama.
