Written by KingCnote on May 24, 2019
Disney’s live-action remake of Aladdin could earn $75 million on 4,400 screens this Memorial Day Weekend.
However, it faces headwinds due to weak social media buzz. Also, Will Smith has been the butt of Twitter jokes. Over at Disney’s YouTube channel, dislikes nearly double the number of likes for a video featuring Will Smith’s blue genie.
Rotten Tomatoes scores Aladdin as only 59 (out of 100).
Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein star in the R-rated teen comedy Booksmart, which has a 99 at Rotten Tomatoes. Booksmart will debut near $13 million.
Revenue for the R-rated superhero horror flick Brightburn ought to reach $15 million over Memorial Day. (Box Office Mojo)
