"Honestly, I didn't see us being number one for the weekend about 10 days ago, Kevin Grayson, the president of worldwide distribution for Lionsgate's motion picture group, said Sunday. But as we started to get closer and ticket sale numbers started to pop, we saw that there was going to be a horse race. Then we pulled away Saturday morning."
"Lionsgate's Now You See Me: Now You Don't pulled in $21.3 million, while Paramount's The Running Man made $17 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Now You See Me: Now You Don't, which cost a reported $90 million to produce, comes almost 10 years after the second film. Including ticket sales from 64 international territories, its worldwide opening is estimated to be around $75.5 million."

This installment, directed by Ruben Fleischer, sees the return of the original Four Horsemen, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco, and introduces three younger magicians into the mix: Dominic Sessa, Ariana Greenblatt and Justice Smith.
