Starring Brad Pitt opposite Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman and Michael Pena, the film is likely to top the weekend ahead of holdover Gone Girl, which took the No. 1 spot at the North American box office for the past two weekends.
Pre-release tracking suggests Fury will open in the $25 million range, a solid start for Sony, QED International and LStar Capital. The $68 million drama, also starring Jon Bernthal, Jason Isaacs and Scott Eastwood, launches in 3,155 theaters. The story centers on a U.S. tank crew traveling through Germany at the end of WWII.
Also opening this weekend is animated film The Book of Life, which earned $300,000 on Thursday night in 2,150 locations. Produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by Jorge R. Gutierrez, Book of Life is tracking to bow in the mid- to high-teens.
Inspired by the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead, the film should do especially well in Hispanic markets. Co-produced by Fox Animation and ReelFX, the family film stars the voices of Channing Tatum, Christina Applegate, Ice Cube, Hector Elizondo, Diego Luna and Zoe Saldana.
The weekend's third new offering is romance drama The Best of Me, based on a Nicholas Sparks book. The film kicked off the weekend with $525,000 on Thursday night with showtimes starting at 8 p.m.
Starring Michelle Monaghan, James Marsden, Luke Bracey, Liana Liberato and Gerald McRaney, the Relativity movie will open in the $12 million-$14 million range, according to tracking. #hollywoodreporter
