There could be a battle for fifth position between the second weekend for Universal's Almost Christmas and the debut of STX's The Edge of Seventeen. Almost Christmas opened with just over $15 million last weekend and should drop around 42-46% this weekend, kicking off its second week with around $8.5 million while The Edge of Seventeen could open anywhere from $8-10 million.
Starring Hailee Steinfeld and Woody Harrelson, Edge of Seventeen is an R-rated coming-of-age feature debuting in 1,945 theaters. Given the strong reviews (93% on RottenTomatoes) it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect more than $8-10 million from this one, but considering its likely to bleed some of its audience due to Fantastic Beasts it's more likely to settle around $8.5 million or so. It should, however, play very well over the coming weeks, especially with the holidays around the corner.
