Elsewhere, a handful of new releases settled for low debuts, as studios made way for 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3'.
For the fourth time in a row, Universal’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie is exceeding expectations as it tops the box office. The animated video game adaptation is eyeing a $37 million fourth weekend, well ahead of the $30 million that it was expected to gross over the same frame just yesterday.

The coming-of-age comedy drama, based on the popular 1970 book by Judy Blume, is eyeing a $5.6 million debut weekend, coming in short of the $7 million to $9 million range that it was projected to open between heading into the weekend.
Sony's faith-based sports drama Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World is looking to finish outside the top 10 in its first weekend, with a projected $2.6 million debut. Two faith-based movies have successfully been able to tap into their target demographics over the last couple of months. While Jesus Revolution made more than $50 million domestically, and His Only Son has earned over $12 million from domestic theaters.
