Box Office: ‘Mean Girls’ Aims for Grool $30 Million Over Holiday Weekend


"Mean Girls," a musical adaptation of the hit 2004 movie, is aiming to rule the box office in its opening weekend.

The original, starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried as teen royalty, is an insanely quotable touchstone that taught a generation that butter is not a carb and turned Oct. 3 into a national holiday. Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. directed “Mean Girls,” starring Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, Reneé Rapp as Regina George and Auliʻi Cravalho as Janis ‘Imi’ike (née Ian). Variety’s Guy Lodge praised the film, writing in his review that “Biblical cinema could use more messengers with Samuel’s eccentricity and daring, alive to the limitations and biases that have hitherto made for such a stylistically uniform genre.”
