With Universal/Blumhouse’s “Wolf Man” opening below projections, the No. 1 spot at the MLK weekend box office is up for grabs as Disney’s “Mufasa” is contending with Sony’s new buddy comedy “One of Them Days”
For the extended weekend, “Mufasa” is currently projected by industry estimates to win the battle with a $12.5 million 3-day/$17 million 4-day total as the film pushes past $200 million in domestic grosses and $575 million worldwide. “One of Them Days” is not too far behind in second with an $12 million 3-day/$14 million 4-day total.
Starring Keke Palmer and SZA as roommates forced to recoup their lost rent money in a single day, “One of Them Days” has enjoyed widespread praise from critics as the sort of old-school comedy that would regularly fill up theaters 20 years ago.
