"The follow-up to last year's Wicked improved upon its predecessor's numbers with a $150 million weekend, making it the biggest opening of the MFL season so far. The first film opened to $120, though that movie also had to contend with Gladiator II's arrival on screens. This year, the field cleared the deck for For Good, lest they be walloped. Wicked picked up 150 base points, plus it cleared six bonus thresholds (totalling 90 points) and got the 20-point bump for winning the weekend."
"Elsewhere in the box-office realm, there isn't much to talk about. Now You See Me, Now You Don't and The Running Man cleared the $25 million threshold to each pick up ten bonus points, while Black Phone 2 crossed the $75 mark for an extra 15 points. Nuremberg climbed up to $11 million, which is good news for Sony Pictures Classics and also dads. Sisu: Road to Revenge debuted with $2 million, good news for the 158 of you who selected it."
