UPDATE: The final numbers are in and ‘Panda’ ($30M) beat ‘Dune 2’ ($29.1M) by a mere $900,000 this weekend. The good news is that people are going to theaters, and the latest ‘Ghostbusters’ will likely continue that trend next weekend.
EARLIER: There is no clear #1 at the box-office this weekend. The fight for the top spot will be between “Kung Fu Panda 4” and “Dune: Part Two” — both are projected to earn around $30 million weekends. ‘Dune 2’ is going to be hitting $500 million worldwide on Sunday evening. Meanwhile, “The American Society of Magical Negroes,” playing in 1147 venues, is bombing hard. It’s only expected to make $1.2 million.
Marvel's "Ghost Rider" just hired one of the best cinematographers working today. Linus Sandgren will serve as DP on Shawn Levy's MCU flick, and, most notably, the project will be shot on film.
