Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is heading for yet another weekend atop the box office with only one wide release film hitting theaters, The Identical.
GOTG is projected to maybe earn $10 million for its fifth No. 1 weekend during its six-week run, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film is closing in on $300 million at the U.S. box office after already becoming the top grossing domestic film of the year.
The faith-based Identical likely will earn $900,000 on Friday, compared to GOTG's $2.7 million, Variety reports. The film, which stars Blake Rayne, Ray Liotta and Ashley Judd, will be lucky to even match that $2.7 million amount through the three-day period.
The weekend after Labor Day is historically a quiet one for movies, especially this one with college football hitting its second week and the NFL in Week 1.
R-rated comedy Let's Be Cops might snag the second spot at the box office and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will follow as both are projected to earn close to $5 million each, with Cops having the edge with a stronger Friday.
Last weekend's largely ignored wide releases As Above, So Below and The November Man are projected to earn between $4 million and $5 million.
