69% of users predicted YES — the community missed this one. 36 predictions cast.
"The Invite," an A24 comedy directed by and starring Olivia Wilde alongside Seth Rogen, Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton, expanded to 1,610 locations nationwide on the weekend of July 10-12, 2026, in its third week of release. The wide expansion grossed just over $5.7 million for the weekend, bringing its cumulative domestic total to $7.38 million, and landed at No. 6 on the domestic box office chart. Both figures fell short of the $10 million weekend threshold in question.
The film had opened three weeks earlier in a limited release of seven screens in New York and Los Angeles, grossing $379,000 for one of the year's strongest per-screen averages, with sold-out shows and enthusiastic word of mouth. Despite that limited-release buzz and a 96 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, the wider nationwide rollout did not translate into blockbuster-scale numbers, a common pattern for specialty titles that expand beyond initial arthouse audiences.
The Predict Six community leaned toward the film clearing $10 million, with 69 percent predicting yes. The outcome resolved no -- the strong limited-release reception did not scale into a top-tier nationwide opening weekend.
