'The Woman King' ruled the Friday box office with $6.8 million.
On the back of an A+ CinemaScore from opening day audiences and some enthusiastic reviews, director Gina Prince-Bythewood’s The Woman King is coming in higher than expected with an anticipated $18 million three-day debut, following $1.7 million from Thursday previews and $6.8 million on Friday.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Prince-Bythewood is coming off of Netflix’s well-received action film The Old Guard, and The Woman King — about a tribe of all-female warriors in 19th century Africa — is receiving praise for its action choreography and the performances of its cast, particularly newcomer Thuso Mbedu.
Searchlight’s period comedy caper See How They Run, featuring an ensemble cast led by Sam Rockwell, is looking at a $2.7 million debut weekend after a $1.08 million Friday. It’s not an apples-to-apples comparison, but 20th Century Studios will be keeping an on how the film performs, considering that it has its own period mystery caper — director David O. Russell’s significantly more high-profile Amsterdam — lined up for an awards-friendly release soon.
