Warner Bros. musical is just beating the Paramount horror tale for the No. 1 spot with an estimated $13 million opening
Paramount’s “A Quiet Place — Part II” has become the first post-pandemic film to hit $100 million at the domestic box office and is within striking distance of the No.1 spot on the weekend charts as Warner Bros.’ “In The Heights” is falling below pre-release estimates. The John Krasinski horror film hit the big milestone on its third Friday in theaters, grossing $3.7 million from 3,515 screens as industry estimates peg the film for a No.2 finish this weekend with $11.4 million, which would give it a domestic total of $108 million. “In The Heights” is currently projected to open at No.1 at the box office as it opens simultaneously on HBO Max; but after grossing $5 million from 3,456 screens on Friday, it is only estimated to earn an opening of $13 million.
