Opening this weekend, Maze Runner: Scorch Trials is expected to lead the box office ticket totals. According to Variety, the film will beat out fellow premiere Black Mass.
"Fox's 'Maze Runner' sequel will likely end up in first place, pulling in approximately $35 million across 3,790 locations, while Warner Bros.' 'Black Mass' is eyeing a debut of $22 million from roughly 3,188 venues."
Maze Runner: Scorch Trials, starring Dylan O'Brien as Thomas, will run after its Maze Runner predecessor at Regal and AMC Theatres starting on Thursday. AMC advertised the double feature with a single run-time, 4 hours and 20 minutes, for a single ticketprice. Those prices varied by theater.
