Infinity War’ To Dominate Weekend With Over $55M, While ‘Life Of The Party,’ ‘Breaking In’ In Teens – Friday Matinees

Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War may end up with $55M to $57M after the Mother’s Day holiday this weekend, according to matinee grosses that are starting to roll in.  Although it is very early, the other two newcomers are not setting their worlds on fire in what appears to be an overall soft Friday.

 

The Melissa McCarthy comedy Life of the Party from New Line/Warner Bros. is on track to gross around $4.2M to $4.5M today for a three-day of $15.5M to $17M. In comparison, McCarthy’s The Boss grossed $8.1M on its Friday in 2015 and last year’s Mother’s Day comedy Snatched took in $5M.

 

The Will Packer/Universal thriller Breaking In is chasing in about $4M today for a weekend tally of $13M+. One of its comps, No Good Deed, took in $8.8M on its opening day.

 

All of these grosses are off their estimates by about $3M. Mother’s Day Sunday is traditionally a very strong moviegoing day and should be for both of the newbie films. Stay tuned.

[KJsooner]

No Friday guesstimate for AIW but they give us w/e numbers.  Bad Deadline.

[filmlover]

I'd say the meh-ish numbers for Life of the Party should tell Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone that they should stop collaborating on movies given the diminishing returns but they already have another movie together set for Christmas Day next year so...

Her worst movies are the ones she does with her husband.

And the best ones are all with Paul Feig. Shame that nobody else can seem to give her good material like he can.
