Box Office: ‘Mean Girls’ Musical Rules With $32 Million Holiday Debut

Paramount's "Mean Girls" musical ruled at the box office with $32 million during the four-day holiday weekend.

Thanks to enduring love for the original 2004 film, an insanely quotable touchstone that turned Oct. 3 into a national holiday, “Mean Girls” is proving the Plastics are still box office draws. Jason Statham stars in the film as Adam Clay, a former operative who sets out to exact revenge after his friend falls for a ruinous phishing scam and dies by suicide. Directed by Jeymes Samuel and starring LaKeith Stanfield, “The Book of Clarence” follows a down-on-his-luck man who tries to capitalize on the rise of Jesus Christ by claiming to be a new Messiah sent by God.
