Sony's highly anticipated action sequel, The Equalizer 3, starring Denzel Washington, is projected to have a strong opening weekend, with estimates placing it at over $30 million, and some sources even suggesting a potential $40 million start.

On Monday night, the Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Denzel Washington by director Antoine Fuqua during Sony’s presentation in Las Vegas, which kicked off a four-day annual event. Washington was later seen in the first trailer of ‘The Equalizer 3’ on Tuesday.
