Holy crap. Those yellow creatures could break $100M 4-day. I’ve never rooted for the minions more.

Wow, Elvis actually managed to claim the top spot. I guess the elderly enjoy doing things more on Sunday. But seriously, I did not expect this after Saturday. I agree that it will hold up quite well over the next few weeks.

The power of Tom Cruise never ceases to amaze me.

Yeah, the drop was expected. I think we should only expect $2.5M at the most this weekend.

Still looking pretty predictable right now. Elvis should still beat out Top Gun Maverick by some margin. Things could shake out like this: Elvis: $32-35M TGM: $29-33M JWD: $24-27M TBP: $23-26M LY: $18-20M

Welp, I guess we’ll have to settle for an over $20M top 4…

So, I guess it’s a World War II drama now? Huh, who knew?

Elvis could still bring one over Top Gun, but it’ll be a close race. I think Elvis will take the #1 spot this weekend by a small margin. TG could easily overtake it within a few days, but Elvis should have just enough momentum over the weekend to eke out a win. Black Phone’s preview numbers are definitely a surprise. When all is said and done, we could see an opening weekend between $25-30M. A #3 finish (beating out Dominion and Lightyear) is looking to be more of a likely scenario at this point. Top 2 might be pushing it, but hey, it might surpass our expectations again. Lightyear is definitely in a tough position right now. Best case scenario is a $20-25M finish for the weekend, placing it in #5 behind Dominion. With Minions set to draw in a major family audience next week, this is definitely not going to be the box office smash it was thought to be.

Black Phone has a decent chance of pulling off a $25-30M weekend based on this. I guess we were wrong to underestimate it. Should get a top 3 finish at this rate.
