2nd Writethru Sat. 11:25 PM: When the dust clears tomorrow, Disney’s The Jungle Book will likely be the No. 2 April opener of all time only behind 2015’s Furious 7 which took in $147.1M last year. If estimates hold, The Jungle Book’s three-day gross will be anywhere from $101M to $103M and it could go higher by Sunday night. Either way, it will surpass Captain America: The Winter Soldier which grabbed $95M in April, 2014 to take the second spot. Previous estimates had the picture’s three-day gross at $87M to $88M.
Barbershop: The Next Cut, which also has been well reviewed and garnered an A- CinemaScore, got Mowgli’d down. It got a nice bump on Saturday with an estimated $8.25M take, up 18% from its Friday night gross $7M. Its revised three-day cume is $20.4M. Barbershop movies have tended to make 98% of their total box office from North America.
