It's looking like a forgettable weekend at the box office in the lull before summer gets underway on May 5 with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Holdover The Fate of the Furious is expected to clobber a handful of new films that open Friday, including Katherine Heigl's erotic thriller Unforgettable, Armenian genocide drama The Promise, starring Christian Bale and Oscar Isaac, action-comedy Free Fire and sci-fi thriller Phoenix Forgotten. Disney also opens its latest nature documentary, Born in China.
