Warner Bros. noted the $80 million-plus budget requires strong word-of-mouth to achieve profitability as summer wanes and highlighted early positive reviews as a driver for “over-performance” beyond the $18 million–$23 million domestic range. Producers expect ancillary revenue—home video, streaming and merchandising—to boost long-term earnings.

*The End of Oak Street* launches alongside two other dinosaur-themed releases: Paramount’s *PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie* and Sony/Marvel’s *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*. While *Spider-Man* is projected to earn $65 million–$70 million this weekend, *The End of Oak Street* targets the family-adventure segment as a non-franchise alternative. Its performance will signal Warner Bros.’ ability to deliver a hit after a summer dominated by superhero sequels.

Warner Bros. will expand the film to additional international markets—including South Korea, Greece, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Belarus—over the next two weeks. The studio will monitor weekday attendance from lingering summer-vacation crowds and assess second-weekend hold rates to gauge staying power.
