Five major films release this weekend with three of them having the potential of landing in the top spot with one of those three having a tougher time thanks to its Wednesday opening. Mary Poppins Returns is that film, which should pick up quite a lot of money in the two days prior to the rest of the weekend’s new releases opening. That diminishes its chances for a weekend win, but the other two films will duke it out quite heavily to see which comes out on top. Bumblebee is something of a reboot for the Transformers franchise, taking the series back a few decades. It’s said that this one delivers what fans of the original cartoon had always wanted in a Transformers film, but couldn’t get because of Michael Bay’s possession of the director’s chair. There might be some residual frustration about the series, which could hurt Bumblebee‘s chances. That leaves Aquaman an almost clear line to the top of the box office. The other films in the DC Extended Universe have done well at the box office and this adventure promises to be the same.
