CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Deadline Hollywood reports:

There was a winter storm impacting the Midwest yesterday, Winter Storm Gerri, which forced dozens of cinema closures. But that didn’t stop Paramount’s Mean Girls from hitting $11.65M (including previews), continuing to put its 4-day north of $30M at $31.5M.

Outside of Barbie post-pandemic, this is a remarkable start for a movie aimed at women, Mean Girls pulling in 73% female.

This redux of Mean Girls also beats the 3-day of the original 2004 movie, which debuted to $24.4M (unadjusted for inflation) in late April. In addition, the musical renaissance at the box office continues here with Mean Girls after the $39M opening, and current 4.6x multiple of Wonka ($178.1M).
