The three original films all opened in the $33 to $39 million dollar range. But then again, at a budget of $70 million, <strong>Ocean&#8217;s 8<\/strong> is also the least expensive of the series. <\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it is likely that studio Warner Brothers is hoping that this projection trends up as the film&#8217;s June 8 release. When it opens, the latest <strong>Star Wars<\/strong> juggernaut <strong>Solo: A Star Wars Story<\/strong> will be in its third week of release with superhero epics <strong>Deadpool 2<\/strong> in its fourth week and <strong>The Avengers: Infinity War<\/strong> in its sixth week of release.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ocean&#8217;s 8<\/strong> stars Sandra Bullock as the sister of the previous trilogy&#8217;s George Clooney conman, assembling her own team of thieves to steal a valuable necklace from the glamorous annual Met Gala.
