Overview of Opening Weekend Projections

In the battle for box office supremacy, Jack Quaid’s action-comedy 'Novocaine' is gearing up to challenge last weekend’s champion, 'Mickey 17,' with a projected debut of $10 million to $12 million across 3,300 North American theaters.

Produced by Paramount Pictures with a budget of $18 million, 'Novocaine' features Quaid as an introverted everyman blessed—and burdened—with the inability to feel pain. He must use this unique trait to navigate the chaos when his dream girl is taken hostage during a dramatic bank robbery.
