With action movie Midway exceeding expectations and supernatural thriller Doctor Sleep well-falling show of them, it looks like we’re heading to a box office upset. 

Early estimates show that Midway is expected to take the No. 1 spot at the box office hauling $21 million for the weekend. Doctor Sleep is looking to gross about $18 million — well under expectations of $25 million to $30 million. These numbers become even more interesting since Midway, one of the most expensive independent movies ever made has unimpressed critics which have so far awarded it a 35% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Battling for third place is Universal’s Last Christmas and Paramount’s Playing With Fire, both expected to earn circa $13 million.

The sixth installment in the Terminator franchise is looking to open at $28 million at 4,086 North American locations according to estimates. Not only was it forecast to haul in the $40 million range, but it also holds a price tag of $185 million (some sources even say $196 million).

Dark Fate re-teams Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger, but it seems that the creative rifts between Tim Miller and producer James Cameron took their toll. 

“The blood is still being scrubbed off the walls from those creative battles. This is a film that was forged in fire. So yeah, but that’s the creative process, right?” Cameron said to CinemaBlend. 

Disney’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Joker which are in their third and fifth weekends respectively are battling for second place.
