00:00So the great Carroll Shelby is going to build a car to beat Ferrari with a Ford, correct?
00:09It's a race between Ford vs. Ferrari and Charlie's Angels at the box office this weekend,
00:13and it looks like the film starring Christian Bale and Matt Damon has the inside track.
00:17According to pre-release tracking, the movie, which is also revving up for the Oscar race,
00:21is expected to debut to $20 million or more domestically.
00:25But Disney, which is releasing the 20th Century Fox film, is suggesting somewhere in the high teens.
00:35On the other hand, Charlie's Angels, starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska,
00:42is tracking for a debut in the mid-teens.
00:44The reboot of the iconic TV series and movie franchise opened 16 years after the big screen sequel,
00:51Charlie's Angels Full Throttle, debuted to $37 million, not adjusted for inflation.
00:56Sony is being more conservative in suggesting $12 to $13 million.
01:00Open Safehouse 6.
01:02Welcome to the Townsend Agency.
01:04Now it's no surprise why Disney, Fox, and Sony are being cautious.
01:08In recent weeks, both Terminator Dark Fate and Doctor Sleep came in well behind tracking,
01:13while a number of other films have also had underwhelming debuts recently.
01:16Also opening nationwide is Warner Bros.'s The Good Liar, starring Ian McKellen as a con artist
01:21who targets a wealthy widow, played by Helen Mirren.
01:24The film, set in London, is tracking to open in the $5 to $7 million range.
