With Meg 2, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, Blue Beetle, and more releasing, August 2023's box office has major new movies hoping to beat Barbie and Oppenheimer.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT August 2023's box office will still feel the effects of Barbie and Oppenheimer's release, but there are several new movies set for release with hopes of achieving their own financial success. August has never been one of the biggest months of the year for movie theaters, as it marks the end of the summer season. Studios traditionally use the month to let the bigger movies from the summer to continue dominating.
8 TMNT: Mutant Mayhem Box Office Prediction The first major August 2023 box office release is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. The animated reboot boasts a youthful and star-studded voice cast, as well as great animation, which have led to outstanding reviews. 2023 has been a stellar year for animated movies based on major IPs at the box office as demonstrated by The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
There are currently not expectations that The Meg 2 will attract audiences quite as well, even as the number of megaladons featured increases. Box Office Pro has a projection of $22M-$27M for the opening weekend. While there is a gap in the schedule for over-the-top action movies, The Meg 2's box office is likely to finish with less than $100M domestically, and international audiences could help push the worldwide total over $300M if everything goes right.
While Blue Beetle might live on, the odds of Blue Beetle being a box office hit and launching a major franchise are quite low. According to Box Office Pro, the movie might open to less than $20M domestically. That would be a rather disastrous start for a superhero movie nowadays, especially one that reportedly carries an $120M budget.
3 Gran Turismo Box Office Prediction Sony is hoping that its video game movie success continues with Gran Turismo's release in August 2023. The movie is based on the popular PlayStation video game racing series and the true story of Jann Mardenborough going from gamer to professional racer. It features recognizable faces in prominent roles thanks to David Harbour and Orlando Bloom, while director Neill Blomkamp has seemingly crafted a thrilling racing movie based on early reactions.
