The Big Picture After two record-breaking weekends, Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is ready to three-peat atop the domestic box office, but on Friday, the animated hit surrendered the top spot to this week’s hotly anticipated debutante A Quiet Place: Day One. Directed by Michael Sarnoski, the movie serves as a prequel to John Krasinski’s blockbusters A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II, which grossed a combined total of $360 million domestically.
The movie is currently aiming to generate $53 million domestically in its first three days of release, ahead of A Quiet Place Part II’s $47 million debut, and the first film’s $50 million opening. Reviews for the prequel have been positive; A Quiet Place: Day One currently sits at a “fresh” 84% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, behind the first film’s 96% score and the second film’s 91% approval rating.
At number two, Inside Out 2grossed $17 million on its third Friday, as it heads toward a third weekend haul of around $60 million. Inside Out 2 is expected to hit around $470 million domestically by Sunday, before Universal’s Despicable Me 4 chews into its audience next week. Inside Out 2 made $154 million in its first weekend, and followed it up with an equally impressive $101 million second weekend haul.
The Summer Box Office Is Finally Firing On All Cylinders Close Number three went to Kevin Costner’s ambitious passion project Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1. The movie made around $4.5 million on Friday, and is projected to gross around $12 million across its opening weekend. Partially self-funded by Costner, the epic Western is designed to start a franchise that is going to get a second installment for sure, although future movies will probably depend on the success of these two films.
The fourth spot witnessed a close contest between the holdover hit Bad Boys: Ride or Die and India’s Kalki 2898 AD. Bad Boys 4 generated around $2.8 million on its fourth Friday, taking its running total to just under $160 million. The movie is aiming for around $11 million this weekend. Having already broken RRR’s opening day record at the domestic box office, Kalki 2898 AD added just under $2 million on Friday, as it aims for around $12 million across the weekend.
