The release will be a welcome event for theater chains struggling to fill the rest of the year's box office slate amid the ongoing Hollywood strikes.

Kevin Klowden, chief global strategist at the Milken Institute, estimated the current strikes will soon cost the national economy $5 billion-plus, upwardly revising his previous estimate of $4 billion.

"The main thing we're really factoring into it is the lost wages," Klowden told Yahoo Finance Live in an interview on Tuesday.

On top of lost wages, Klowden said delayed films like "Dune" and canceled programming, such as Amazon's "A League of Their Own," will also heavily contribute to losses.
