The End of Oak Street is aiming to make noise as it debuts at the box office amid the third weekend for the juggernaut that is Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
With Warner Bros. releasing director David Robert Mitchell’s The End of Oak Street in 3,400 North American theaters, the dinosaur-focused sci-fi survival movie grossed $2.5 million in Thursday previews. The studio projects an opening weekend in the range of $18 million to $23 million as the summer winds down.
Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella and Christian Convery star in the film that hails from Bad Robot and carries an $80 million production budget. Mitchell, known for the 2014 horror hit It Follows, helmed the movie from his own script about a family in the early 1980s whose suburban neighborhood has landed in a place teeming with prehistoric predators.
The End of Oak Street holds an 85 percent approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. In his review for The Hollywood Reporter, chief film critic David Rooney called the movie “mindlessly entertaining in a big-dumb-fun kind of way.” At the Oak Street premiere, Hathaway expressed to THR her gratitude “that audiences want to go see original things, and this movie is really original.”
