'Magic Mike's Last Dance' topped the Friday box office with $4.1 million.
Director Steven Soderbergh's third installment in the hit Magic Mike franchise, Magic Mike's Last Dance, eschewed a straight-to-streaming debut and grossed $4.1 million on its first Friday at 1,500 theaters. This is a far cry from the $19 million that the first Magic Mike made on its opening day back in 2012, and the $9.3 million that Magic Mike XXL made on its first day, which happened to be a Wednesday.
Cameron’s latest blockbuster — Avatar: The Way of Water — took the fourth spot with $1.6 million in its ninth weekend. Titanic is playing in nearly 2,500 domestic theaters in a freshly revamped High Frame Rate version. Originally released in 1997, Titanic dominated the box office for nearly half-a-year and went on to win 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
