According to ''[[The Los Angeles Times]]'', ''The Magnificent Seven'' arrives in theaters at a time when the Western genre has been struggling to attract wide audiences and accrue lucrative revenues as it has shown considerble downfall in interest among patrons since the 1970s. The genre has had several recent [[box office bomb|box office flops]] such as ''[[The Lone Ranger (2013 film)|Lone Ranger]]'' (2013) and ''[[Cowboys & Aliens]]'' (2011), but has also found success in films like ''[[Django Unchained]]'' (2012) and ''[[True Grit (2010 film)|True Grit]]'' (2010).<ref name="LAbox"/>
In the United States and Canada, ''The Magnificent Seven'' is projected to open to around $30 million, with some estimates going as high as $50 million, which would make it one of the biggest September debuts of all-time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://deadline.com/2016/08/fall-box-office-doctor-strange-sully-magnificent-seven-1201810337/|title=Forget About Summer & Sequelitis: Will Fall’s Crowded Pipeline Cannibalize B.O.? – Box Office|author=Anthony D'Alessandro|work=''[[Deadline.com]]''|date=August 29, 2016|accessdate=August 30, 2016}}</ref><ref name="LAbox">{{cite web|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-westerns-20160917-snap-story.html|title=With 'The Magnificent Seven' and 'High Noon' remakes, will the western ride again?|author=Rebecca Keegan|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=September 18, 2016|accessdate=September 19, 2016}}</ref><ref name="Var">{{cite web|url=http://variety.com/2016/film/news/magnificent-seven-box-office-storks-1201865893/|title=‘The Magnificent Seven,’ ‘Storks’ Swoop in to Save the Box Office|author=Brent Lang|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=September 20, 2016|accessdate=September 21, 2016}}</ref><ref name="THRproj">{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-predictions-magnifient-seven-931730|title=Box-Office Preview: Will 'Magnificent Seven' Gallop Past 'Storks'?|author=Pamela McClintock|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=September 22, 2016|accessdate=September 23, 2016}}</ref> The film will open in 3,674 theaters, including having the benefit of playing in all IMAX theaters for one week and a number of premium large formats and [[D-Box Technologies|D-Box]] screens.<ref name="DEADproj">{{cite web|url=http://deadline.com/2016/09/magnificent-seven-storks-sully-weekend-box-office-preview-tracking-1201823397/|title=‘Magnificent Seven’ Guns For No. 1, But Will Tracking Cut It Off At The Pass? – B.O.
