The first weekend is complete, and with a a $74M opening we have our first lock of the summer in Thunderbolts*. That 74M wasn’t too far off the weekend projection (81M) to create any concern, especially knowing there won’t be real competition coming until Memorial Day weekend. That’s three full weekends for Thunderbolts* to jump ahead with as much as box office moolah as possible on the back of excellent CinemaScore and Rotten Tomatoes ratings.
No other new release grossed the minimum $1M to be listed here.

Next Weekend: The Box Office Mojo calendar shows four Wide releases coming up, but the only one of interest to us is Fight or Flight, selected by a single player. I’m digging this Josh Hartnett comeback, and Fight looks like an absolute blast of a good time.
