Right now a $2.3M Friday is yielding a $6M result in third place. The reason why some believed this could beat its $5M-$7M projection is because faith-based audiences often fly under the radar of tracking services.
Universal’s tenth weekend of Illumination’s Migration continues to nest in the top five at 2,422 theaters with a $700K Friday, $3.5M weekend, -8%, $121M by Sunday. Given the lack of
