Lionsgate’s sequel to the 1999 found-footage classic “The Blair Witch Project” is poised to win the weekend as it opens in more than 3,000 theaters.
“Blair Witch,” produced for a very modest budget of roughly $5 million, is expected to top the box office with trackers placing its debut at a whopping $23 million (though Lionsgate is hedging bets, saying mid-to-high teens).
Even on the low end of predictions, the movie — about a group of friends who return to a haunted forest in search of a young man’s sister — looks like it will have an easy time topping returning title “Sully” for No.
