The musical teen comedy raked in $3.25 million on its second Friday in theaters, in keeping with IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.
The reboot, which The Observer called “vapid, tasteless and monumentally silly,” relies on the Broadway musical of the same name, which was inspired by the 2004 teen comedy starring Lindsay Lohan.
“The Beekeeper,” which was in first place last Friday, flew right down to second, with $2.445 million in sales.
This weekend, the Jason Statham motion thriller is projected to enjoy a three-day estimate of $8.4 million in earnings, in keeping with Variety.
The rom-com “Anyone But You,” which debuted in December, moved down a notch to 3rd, with $1.74 million in sales.
It’s slated to see a weekend total of $5.4 million, which might make its total domestic earnings $64.2 million through Sunday.
The sweetness is wafting away for ‘Wonka,” which tumbled down a spot to No. 4 this Friday, with $1.545 million in sales.
“Migration” flew into fifth place, with a $1.11 million-dollar take.
