Weekend Estimates: Baby Continues to Boss at the Box Office
April 9, 2017
The Boss Baby will score another win at the box office this weekend, with Fox predicting a total of $26.3 million for the weekend, down 48% from its debut, and $89.4 million to date. That’s a remarkably strong second weekend, considering that Beauty and the Beast will be down virtually the same proporation—45%—in its fourth weekend. Disney’s blockbuster will do $25 million for a cume of $432 million so far domestically. With $545.1 million internationally, the film now has $977.4 million worldwide, and will pass the billion dollar mark this week.
Smurfs: The Lost Village will have a soft $14 million debut, just ahead of Going in Style, which is headed for a better-than-expected $12.5 million. The Case for Christ is looking at a subdued opening weekend. Reports vary, and the final figure will depend on Palm Sunday turnout, but we’re seeing figures ranging from $3.4 million to $3.875 million.
In limited release, Colossal is having a great start, with $125,809 expected from just four theaters. Their Finest will also be in the $10,000-club with an average of $19,250 from four theaters, and around $77,000 on its first weekend.
