Lionsgate’s upcoming release, I Can Only Imagine 2, has started its box-office journey with a solid preview total. Directed by Andrew Erwin and Brent McCorkle, the Christian biographical drama serves as the sequel to the 2018 hit I Can Only Imagine. Early projections, however, suggest that the film will post a lower debut weekend tally than Wuthering Heights and GOAT, setting up a tight race for the No. 1 spot in North America.
I Can Only Imagine 2 Preview Earnings
According to The Numbers, the film’s total preview earnings have reached $1.8 million. It collected $1.3 million from early screenings last Saturday, followed by another $457,000 from Tuesday previews.
Produced on a modest $18 million budget, the sequel has managed to outpace the original film’s preview figures. Back in 2018, the first installment earned $1.3 million in previews before building into one of the year’s most notable box office performers in its genre.
Made for only $7 million, the original film grossed an impressive $86 million worldwide, including $83.4 million from North America alone. The sequel now enters theaters with an estimated opening weekend in the $7 million to $10 million range, signaling another promising run.
I Can Only Imagine 2 Plot
The film follows Bart Millard, the lead singer of MercyMe, as he faces a personal crisis at the peak of his success. As his world unravels, he struggles with his faith and inner demons while searching for a way through adversity.
