Let’s not forget there was once a time that Maleficent: Mistress of Evil was going to only make around $23-$25 million in its opening weekend.

As per usual, it needs to be disclaimed that these results are merely estimated at this point.
The race isn’t over until the accountants tally up the receipts on Monday afternoon, and the joke could be on us all if we’re not careful.
