Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast remake is still expected to rule the box office in its second weekend, but Lionsgate has a good chance to deliver another box-office win with the new Power Rangers, which cost $105 million to make.
Power Rangers also has to deal with yet another reboot, Kong: Skull Island, in a surprisingly crowded box office market as March comes to a close.
As reported by Deadline on Friday, the Thursday domestic box office totals are in and Beauty and the Beast still reigns supreme with an estimated $11 million.
But Power Rangers still performed strongly with an estimated $3.6 million at 2,700 theaters, virtually matching the $3.7 million that Kong: Skull Island earned in its own Thursday opening on March 9.
