Financially, the film is doing numbers at the box office. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the horror flick is expected to rake in $64 million in its opening weekend at the U.S. box office.
On Thursday night alone Us earned $7.4 million and is forecasted to take in about $27 million in Friday sales. It’s also projected to take the top spot over from Captain Marvel.
In a historical perspective, Us is likely to be the third-best opening weekend R-rated horror film ever. It holds the top spot at $123.4 million while last year’s Halloween scored a second place raking at $76.2 million.
