The new release slate for this weekend’s box office consists of two smaller budget films: Disney/Fox’s action-comedy “Stuber” and Paramount’s horror film “Crawl.” But in a month dominated by “Spider-Man: Far From Home” and “The Lion King” coming next weekend, it could be a struggle for either film to garner much attention.
“Stuber” is the third 20th Century Fox film distributed by Disney since the two studios merged this past spring, following “Breakthrough” and “Dark Phoenix.” It is also the first R-Rated film distributed by Disney in six years, the last being the DreamWorks/Participant Media biopic “The Fifth Estate.” Independent trackers are currently projecting an opening for the film at around $15 million.
