3rd WRITETHRU, 4:47 PM: According to some industry estimates right now, Sony/Village Roadshow’s Ghosbusters isn’t that far from The Secret Life of Pets. The Paul Feig-directed, femme-starring Ghostbusters will easily win Friday with an estimated $18M-$19M, but could hit $49.4M, slotting below Illumination/Universal’s Pets which is looking to take No. 1 again with $50M. Pets’ Friday is coming in around $15M, and by Sunday will count $202.6M.
