Could 'If I Stay' Beat 'Sin City 2' To Box-Office Top Spot?

  • 21 August 2014

For all the hype around the long-awaited sequel Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, it looks like it might be beaten to the top of the box office charts by the lower-budget If I Stay.

A Dame To Kill For sees Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller team up once more, and a significant number of the cast of the first (Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson) are retained alongside a few new figures (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin, Ray Liotta, Lady Gaga).

Of course, the biggest threat to these two films tussling for the top spot will be the current heavy hitters already out. Guardians of the Galaxy and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continue to pull in impressive numbers in their fourth and third weeks respectively, and could make as much $20 million each.

Both If I Stay and Sin City: A Dame To Kill For are released in cinemas on 22nd August. See both trailers below.
