What is the literal word‑for‑word meaning and word order of Kannski förum við í bíó á morgun compared to English?

A fairly literal breakdown is:

• kannski – maybe / perhaps
• förum – (we) go
• við – we
• í – in / to (here: to)
• bíó – cinema / movie theater
• á morgun – tomorrow (literally on morning)
