For the June 5–7, 2026 weekend, here's how I think the Top 5 will shake out:
| Rank | Film | My Prediction |
| 1 | Scary Movie 6 | $48–55 million |
| 2 | Backrooms | $26–32 million |
| 3 | Masters of the Universe | $24–30 million |
| 4 | Obsession | $20–24 million |
| 5 | The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act | $10–15 million |
My reasoning:
- Scary Movie 6 looks perfectly positioned to capitalize on the current horror craze. Multiple forecasters are tracking it in the mid-$40M to low-$50M range, and the nostalgia factor could push it even higher.
- Backrooms has become the surprise phenomenon of the summer. If audience reactions stay strong, a second-place finish is very realistic.
- Masters of the Universe is the wild card. Tracking suggests a $30–40M opening is possible, but I think fan interest may be softer than the forecasts expect.
- Obsession continues to be one of the year's biggest horror success stories and should remain a major player in its fourth weekend.
For a horror fan, the most interesting battle isn't #1—it's whether Backrooms can actually beat Masters of the Universe for second place. If Masters opens on the low end of expectations, the viral buzz around Backrooms could pull off another upset.
My bold prediction: Backrooms finishes #2 and Obsession stays in the Top 4, proving that original horror is having a monster year.
