The upcoming film Whalefall, starring Austin Abrams, is projected to earn over $45 million in its North American opening, according to box office analysts. The figure falls short of the $50+ million debut of Resident Evil.
Whalefall, the latest release featuring Austin Abrams, is expected to bring in more than $45 million during its opening run in North America, according to industry estimates reported by Koimoi.
The projected earnings, while strong for a new title, are still below the opening weekend haul of the blockbuster Resident Evil, which crossed the $50 million mark.
Box office analysts suggest that Whalefall’s performance will depend on its marketing push and audience reception, with the film positioned to compete in a crowded summer slate.
The film’s release strategy includes a wide theatrical rollout across the United States and Canada, aiming to capture both genre fans and general audiences.
Industry insiders note that the $45 million benchmark places Whalefall among the top earners for the current season, though it may not reach the heights of the Resident Evil franchise.
