"The Equalizer 3: Denzel Washington's Violent Farewell Dominates Labor Day Weekend Box Office"

The Equalizer 3 is expected to have a strong debut over the Labor Day weekend, aiming for the second-highest opening in the history of the holiday. The film is projected to earn between $28 million and $34 million over the three-day weekend and between $35 million and $42 million over the four-day weekend. The franchise has been consistent in its box office performance, and with an older audience base, backloading throughout the weekend is expected. However, the ongoing strikes and the impact of Hurricane Idalia on theater closures in Florida may affect projections.
