This weekend’s box office brings a mix of music, anime, and drama to theaters, with three new wide releases expected to make an impact.

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere opens in more than 3,400 theaters nationwide. The film explores the creation of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska and the emotional struggles that shaped one of his most personal records. Early projections suggest a domestic opening between $15 million and $25 million, potentially leading the weekend ahead of several holdovers.

The anime feature Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc is also drawing attention. After strong overseas momentum, the movie debuts in North America with forecasts ranging from $6 million to $10 million. Its mix of action, dark comedy, and emotional storytelling is expected to attract both anime fans and general audiences seeking high-energy entertainment.

Meanwhile, Regretting You, adapted from Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, offers a contrast to the action-heavy competition. The romantic drama enters the market with moderate expectations but could find success with Hoover’s dedicated fan base. Its emotional tone and recognizable title may help it outperform early predictions.

Industry analysts are watching closely to see whether this lineup signals stronger audience turnout for diverse theatrical content. With a biopic, a high-energy anime, and a book-based drama all premiering the same weekend, it’s a test of how different genres can coexist in the current box office landscape.
