To put it in round figures, 2010’s Scott Pilgrim was previously his biggest opener with a total of $10.6 million, and Baby Driver more than doubled that score.
It’s not all bad news for Hollywood this weekend, however, as while Despicable Me 3 may have underwhelmed, Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver most definitely did not.
It also seems that audiences are digging it just as much as critics, as the film put up an A- on CinemaScore.
Plus, after five days it’s only $1 million short of being crowned Wright’s biggest domestic earner.
