Box Office: ‘Mean Girls’ Singing to $31M-Plus Opening, ‘Beekeeper’ Buzzing to $19M
Elsewhere at the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday box office, the biblical satire 'Book of Clarence' is bombing while Oscar hopeful 'American Fiction' successfully expands.
Mean Girls is easily winning the box office popularity contest with an estimated four-day opening of $31.5 million over the long Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, although severe winter weather saw more than 50 theaters close Friday in such hubs as Chicago and Toronto. The Paramount film arrives on the big screen 20 years after the Lindsay Lohan-led cult classic Mean Girls, which was directed by Mark Waters and written by Tina Fey, strutted into cinemas. Directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr., Mean Girls cost a relatively modest $36 million to produce before marketing and is the latest musical to brave the big screen after Wonka and The Color Purple.
