"Resident Evil" total domestic gross by October 31?
Resident Evil looks more likely than not to finish under $150 million domestic by October 31. With the film already around the mid-to-high $120 millions and its daily pace clearly slowing, the remaining threshold is possible but not the base case.
Analysis
The core arithmetic favors the under. The movie is currently reported in a fairly tight band around $124.8 million to $127.8 million domestically, which means it still needs roughly $22 million to $25 million more to cross $150 million. At this stage of the run, that is a meaningful amount of business to add in only the remaining part of October, and it requires the film to keep posting steady weekday and weekend grosses well beyond what a typical post-opening deceleration would suggest. Since the market resolves on final daily box office figures through October 31, the key issue is not whether the movie has already been a strong earner, but whether it can maintain enough staying power to add another fifth of its current total in the remaining window.
The recent trajectory points toward cooling momentum rather than a late surge. Early and mid-run numbers were strong, but the updates cited show clear slowdown by the third weekend and into the weekdays, which is exactly the pattern that usually pushes a film toward a ceiling rather than toward a major late-run breakout. A title that has already cleared $120 million domestically can still add substantial revenue, but the late legs generally depend on exceptional holdover strength, limited competition, favorable audience word of mouth, or some external boost. Nothing in the current setup indicates a dramatic reacceleration, and the reported totals clustering in the mid-to-high $120 millions suggest the market is already recognizing that the film is progressing toward a plateau.
That said, the threshold is not trivial to dismiss outright. The movie has already proven it can generate sizable box office receipts, and if it continues to post better-than-expected weekday holds or gets a strong final October weekend, it could still make a run at $150 million. There is also some uncertainty from source-to-source differences in reported domestic totals, which can matter when a market is resolving on final finalized daily figures rather than estimates. Even so, those discrepancies appear modest relative to the roughly $22 million to $25 million gap that still needs to be closed. On balance, the market price of 66% for No looks somewhat aggressive, but the under is still the more likely outcome because the remaining revenue requirement is large compared with the film’s current pace.
Arguments
For
- Arguments for Yes: The film is already in the mid-to-high $120 millions domestically, so only a moderate additional run is needed to break $150 million.
- Arguments for Yes: If the movie gets a strong final October weekend or unusually durable weekday holds, it could still add the required $22 million to $25 million.
Against
- Arguments against Yes: The box office trajectory is slowing, and late-run deceleration usually makes large additional gains difficult.
- Arguments against Yes: The remaining gap is large enough that normal post-opening drops would leave the film short of $150 million by October 31.
Key drivers
- The film needs about $22 million to $25 million more, which is a sizable amount for the late stage of its theatrical run.
- The recent box office trend shows clear deceleration, making a late October acceleration less likely than continued fade.
Risk factors
- If weekday holds remain unusually strong, the film could accumulate enough incremental revenue to approach or exceed $150 million.
- Final domestic totals can differ slightly across reporting sources, and a small reporting edge case could matter near the cutoff.
Scenarios
Best case
The film continues holding better than expected through late October, gets one more strong weekend, and climbs to or slightly above $150 million domestically by October 31.
Most likely
The movie keeps adding money but at a diminishing pace, finishing comfortably above its current level yet still below $150 million by October 31.
Worst case
The run fades quickly, weekday grosses collapse, and the movie ends the month well below the threshold, leaving the final total in the low or mid-$130 millions.

"Other Mommy" Opening Weekend Box Office
AI41%MKT3%Edge+38Hidden GemThe market is heavily leaning No, but the tracking cluster around $20 million leaves a meaningful path to a sub-$21 million opening. I would still put Yes below even odds because several credible forecasts are at or above the threshold and the safer read is a finish in the low 20s.

Next Prime Minister of Serbia?
AI32%MKT67%Edge-35HypedAleksandar Vučić is still a highly dominant figure in Serbian politics, but becoming the next officially sworn-in prime minister would require a notable reshuffle away from his current presidential role. I think the market is pricing his personal control too aggressively, and the more likely outcome is that someone else becomes prime minister first.
