"Evil Dead Rise" is projected to earn over $20 million in its opening weekend, exceeding expectations for the fifth installment in the horror franchise. Despite strong competition from two other horror releases, "Rise" is holding its own with positive reviews and audience reception. Meanwhile, "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" continues to dominate the box office, with a projected $58 million third weekend and a domestic gross of over $400 million. Other releases, including "Guy Ritchie's The Covenant" and "John Wick: Chapter 4," are also performing well.
