‘Quiet Place II’ Hits $100 Million at Box Office As ‘In The Heights’ Opens Below Estimates - TheWrap

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.

Instead, “In The Heights” will try to take the same path to box office success as fellow musical “The Greatest Showman,” which opened during the holiday season in 2017 to just $19 million in its first six days of release only to gain strong word-of-mouth after Christmas and leg out to a $174 million domestic run.

Warner Bros./New Line’s “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” and Sony’s “Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway” sit just behind “Quiet Place” and “In The Heights,” with “Conjuring” currently slated to take third with an estimated $10.9 million from 3,237 screens in its second weekend and a 55% drop from its $24.1 million opening.
