Box-office predictions: ‘Novocaine' aiming to shoot down ‘Mickey 17' with $10 million+ debut
What will be the winners and the losers this week at the U.S. box office? Four new movies enter theaters this weekend led by Novocaine, Paramount's comedy-thriller from directors Dan Berk and Robert Olsen. They will be facing off against the current top five money-makers: Mickey 17, Captain America: Brave New World, Last Breath, The Monkey, and Paddington in Peru. Gold Derby readers predict that Mickey 17 will win the March 14-16 weekend with less than $25 million domestically. Novocaine is the runner-up choice of our odds-makers.

BOX-OFFICE PREDICTIONS Novocaine is projected to come out on top in its debut week, tracking north of $10 million at the weekend box office. The action-comedy from Paramount cost just $18 million to make — which should put it in the black after just a few weeks of release. Right on its heels is Mickey 17 in second place. Bong Joon Ho's follow-up to his Oscar winner, Parasite, is expected to tumble between 55 percent and 60 percent from its $19 million debut last week. With a hefty amount of international support, the sci-fi comedy starring Robert Pattinson has grossed $50 million worldwide — still way off its $180 million price tag. Disney's Marvel sequel Captain America: Brave New World will add $5 million to its box-office tally — good enough for third. Despite making nearly $185 million, the superhero movie starring Anthony Mackie is one of the lowest-grossing MCU movies of all time. This weekend's other new releases aren't expected to pack a punch — with Blag Bag and Opus projected to take in $7 million and $2 million, respectively. Likely to squeak out the final spot in this weekend's top five is Sony's Paddington in Peru, which should hold steady with about $2.5 million. Here are Gold Derby's current box-office rankings for the top five: 1. Novocaine 2. Mickey 17 3. Black Bag 4. Captain America: Brave New World 5.

Novocaine movie review: Jack Quaid feels no pain going from mild to mad in action thriller
3/5 stars Advertisement Characters who are impervious to pain, or have an exceptionally high pain threshold, have become increasingly ubiquitous in a cinematic landscape dominated by superheroes and comic-book characters like Deadpool and Wolverine. Similarly, with infrastructure now firmly in place in the film industry to transform the gangliest of thespians into a shredded war machine, a new subgenre built around everyday action heroes has found lasting commercial success. Novocaine, from directing duo Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, draws from both phenomena, presenting a mild-mannered bank manager with a rare congenital nerve condition who is forced into action after his girlfriend is kidnapped. In its opening movements, the film dares to unfold slowly and in unexpected directions. Advertisement Jack Quaid, son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan and the star of hit TV series The Boys, plays Nate Caine, a timid introvert who shies away from hot drinks, solid food and unnecessary human interaction because of his condition.
