The opening weekend also managed to be the best in Ocean’s franchise history, beating the debuts of 2001’s Ocean’s Eleven ($38.1 million), 2004’s Ocean’s Twelve ($39.1 million) and 2007’s Ocean’s Thirteen ($36.1 million).
We projected a $210 million domestic total for Ocean’s Eight in our summer movie predictions piece, and it should easily be able to match or exceed that projection after this opening weekend.
Ocean’s 8 had no trouble fending off the competition this weekend, debuting atop the box office with $41.5 million.
Ocean’s 8 opened in 4,145 theaters this weekend, pulling in an impressive $10,012 per-screen average.
