- The film could surpass the $26.6 million opening weekend record set by Afterlife in 2010, marking a significant milestone for the franchise's theatrical performance.
- Given Sony reportedly spent $75 million producing the movie, industry analysts anticipate a global total of around $80 million, with $31 million expected overseas.
