Animation vs. action at the box office with two movies attempt to dethrone Dunkirk, which is expected to have a solid hold-over. In The Emoji Movie‘s favor is that there hasn’t been an animation or children-targeted release in a month when Despicable Me 3 opened. There should be pent-up desire to see the film. However, early reviews have been non-existent because the studio is afraid of negative press and has refused to screen it for critics. Meanwhile, Atomic Blonde is riding a solid 81% Rotten Tomatoes rating (though, the 6.8 average rating isn’t spectacular), which suggests it could be a strong player for the weekend. Looking back at Charlize Theron’s action openings and they haven’t been spectacular when she’s been the main draw, but have been astronomical when paired with others. However, the stylish action film might be able to delve into the Baby Driver-type support and run away with the box office. I suspect Atomic Blonde will come in second because even crappy animation is box office ambrosia.
