Projections: 'Guardians' Tries to Avoid 'Rough Night'

Disney's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 could take the top spot on the home video sales charts for a third week if it can hold off newcomers such as Sony Pictures' Rough Night the week ending Sept. 9.

The raunchy bachlorette party comedy earned just $22 million at the domestic box office.

Also in contention is Lionsgate's Tupac biopic All Eyez on Me, which earned $44.9 million in U.S. theaters. Aside from Walmart, neither title got prominent placement in new-release sections over strong holdovers.

On the weekly rental chart, Paramount's Baywatch is looking for another week at No. 1, with Rough Night also in contention.

Rank	Title	Studio	Weeks on Chart
	Projected Top 3 Sellers for Week Ending 9/9/17
1	Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2	Disney/Marvel	3
2	Rough Night	Sony Pictures	New
3	All Eyez on Me	Lionsgate	New
	Projected Top 3 Rentals for Week Ending 9/10/17
1	Baywatch	Paramount	2
2	Rough Night	Sony Pictures	New
