The Viola Davis African warrior epic The Woman King —a flashback to the type of historical epics Columbia Pictures has had a long history of notching Oscars with– is looking at a $12M opening this weekend, per Sony, while rivals have it in the $13M-$16M range.

Previews start at 3 p.m. Thursday in 3,200 locations, expanding to 3,700 venues by Friday. Woman King will have the benefit of Imax and PLF screens. eOne co-financed the $50M TriStar Pictures release, which was steered by the label’s production boss Nicole Brown. Davis stars in and produced the film.
