Three films clash for box office dominance this weekend as 'Wolf Man,' 'One of Them Days,' and 'Den of Thieves 2: Pantera' compete for audience attention.
The 2025 box office is set for an exciting battle this weekend as three films vie for the top spot. Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, led by Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr., surprised audiences last weekend by dethroning Mufasa: The Lion King and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to claim the weekend box office crown. The action heist sequel hopes to continue its success, but faces stiff competition from two newcomers: Leigh Whannell's horror remake Wolf Man and Keke Palmer 's studio comedy One of Them Days.
Wolf Man, Whannell's latest foray into the world of Universal Monsters following 2020's The Invisible Man, is projected to dominate the box office with an estimated opening weekend haul of $17 million to $21 million. While critical reception has been mixed, the film's R-rating and the strong track record of Blumhouse productions suggest a solid performance among horror fans. This opening weekend would fall slightly below the $28 million debut of The Invisible Man, but given Wolf Man's larger budget of $25 million, it still positions itself for profitability. Keke Palmer, fresh off her acclaimed role in Jordan Peele's Nope, takes center stage in One of Them Days, a Sony comedy produced by Issa Rae and co-starring Grammy-winning singer SZA. The film aims for a solid opening weekend, targeting between $8 million and $13 million. While this figure is significantly lower than Palmer's $44 million debut with Nope, it's a promising start for a comedy, as the genre has struggled to find consistent box office success in recent years.Den of Thieves 2, despite its impressive opening weekend, is expected to face a decline in its second week. The film's strong audience scores, a B+ on CinemaScore and 79% on Rotten Tomatoes' Popcornmeter, suggest strong word-of-mouth, but it's unlikely to hold onto the top spot. The original Den of Thieves achieved a relatively low second weekend drop of 43.2% back in 2018
