Warner Bros. Is betting big this weekend with Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest epic, One Battle After Another. The $140 million film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is eyeing a $20–25 million domestic debut and another $25 million overseas, giving it the potential to hit a $50 million worldwide launch. Even on the lower end, the opening would represent Anderson’s strongest box office start ever, a remarkable shift for the filmmaker who has typically seen his work platform over time. To date, Anderson’s top U.S. weekend was 2009’s There Will Be Blood, which peaked at $4.8 million in its fifth week of release.
