‘Mean Girls’ Surpasses $100 Million at Global Box Office


Paramount's 'Mean Girls' musical has surpassed $100 million at the global box office.

Based on the Broadway adaptation of the 2004 comedy classic, “Mean Girls” was originally commissioned with plans to make a streaming debut directly on Paramount+, but executives opted for a theatrical release after enthusiastic test screenings. Reneé Rapp reprises her Broadway role as queen bee Regina George, with a cast that also includes Christopher Briney, Bebe Wood, Avantika, Jaquel Spivey, Auli’i Cravalho and original stars Tim Meadows and producer-writer Tina Fey. Following the movie’s initial release in January, Paramount shared data from exit polls that indicate 75% of audiences knew it was a musical before purchasing a ticket, while 16% left the theater “disappointed” by the genre.
