John Krasinski’s IF is tracking to make around $40 million at the box office during its opening weekend.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, IF, which is directed by Krasinski, is currently tracking to make between $38 million to $42 million when it opens in theaters in May 2024. “And based on raw data, some box office pundits believe it has a shot at $45 million to $50 million,” The Hollywood Reporter’s article states.
It’s unclear how large of a budget IF has. The last movie that Krasinski directed, 2020’s A Quiet Place Part II, opened to $50.2 million and ended up making $297.4 million at the global box office. The first Quiet Place movie, also directed by Krasinski, also made $50.2 million during its opening weekend but went on to make $341 at the global box office.
