## Summary

“Avengers: Endgame Encore”, a re-release of Marvel’s 2019 blockbuster with additional scenes ahead of December’s “Avengers: Doomsday”, is challenging “Resident Evil” for the top spot at the weekend box office. Its strong preview result suggests continued interest in the Marvel franchise, although “Resident Evil” remains competitive after leading last week.

The re-release earned $3.8 million in previews and is projected to make $25–28 million, compared with “Resident Evil”’s $24–26 million target following a $61 million opening. Robert Pattinson’s “Primetime” took $2.7 million in previews and Brad Pitt’s “Heart of the Beast” made $2 million, with both expected to debut at $17–20 million; animated fantasy “Forgotten Island” earned $1.5 million and is forecast to make $15–17 million.
