Friday Estimates: Invisible Man Makes Its Presence Felt
February 29, 2020
The Invisible Man opened with $9.8 million on Friday, which means it is the sixth-biggest horror film released in 2020 so far after just one day in theaters. It is projected to be in first place by the end of the weekend with $26 million, topping predictions, albeit by a very small margin. The film’s reviews remain excellent and it earned a B plus from CinemaScore. That is stellar, for a horror movie. It would be okay for an action movie and terrible for a family film / faith-based release, but it is amazing for a horror film.
Sonic the Hedgehog is also matching expectations with $3.47 million on Friday and a projected $16 million weekend haul.
The Call of the Wild was right behind with $3.37 million on Friday, which is 58% below its opening Friday. This is a sharper drop-off than expected, but not a disaster.
My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising already has $5.1 million, including $1.8 million on Friday. It is very rare for an anime title to do this well in total, so to get there in just three days is fantastic. The film has nearly surpassed the first film’s domestic total.
Bad Boys for Life and Birds of Prey had near identical results with $1.09 million and $1.08 million respectively. It will be fun to see which film wins in the weekend race.
