Will ‘Zootopia’s’ Box Office Run End at ’10 Cloverfield Lane?’

Sci-fi thriller “10 Cloverfield Lane” is the strongest of a quartet of wide-opening movies this weekend, but none are expected to come close to Disney Animation’s record-breaking family hit “Zootopia.”

A second week in the $40 million range is what the analysts see for “Zootopia,” which will be plenty to hold off “10 Cloverfield Lane.” They say the J.J. Abrams production could hit $20 million, while projections have Sacha Baron Cohen‘s British spy spoof “The Brothers Grimsby” pullingย in $10 million, faith-based drama “The Messiah” coming in underย $10 million and Lionsgate’s romantic comedy “The Perfect Match” generatingย less than $5 million from roughly 800 theaters.
