However, the film is facing competition from four other openers in All Eyez on Me, Rough Night, 47 Meters Down, and The Book of Henry.

Cars 3 earned just under $20 million on Friday, including Thursday night previews, at 4,256 locations. The film is currently on pace for just under $52 million, but analysts believe a late Father’s Day surge could propel it to the high $50 million range if not over $60 million.

All Eyez On Me is also outperforming expectations. The Tupac Shakur biopic is currently pacing for third place but could pull ahead of Wonder Woman and steal the number two spot by the time Sunday is done. All Eyez On Me earned $3.1 million on Thursday night, beating even Cars 3, and nearly $13 million on Friday from 2,471. The film is currently pacing for $31 million, but a building buzz could push it ahead of Wonder Woman, which is currently sitting in second place with $41 million for its third weekend.

Fourth place currently belongs to The Mummy, but not by much as shark horror movie 47 Meters Down is following close behind. The Mummy earned just under $4 million on Friday from 2,270 locations, which was only just enough to keep ahead of 47 Meters Down. The Mummy is currently pacing for a #13.5 million second weekend while 47 Meters Down is expected to open to a $10.7 million.

Rounding out the top ten this week are Scarlet Johansson comedy Rough Night, Johnny Depp’s latest outing as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, animated superhero movie Captain Underpants, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and A24’s latest horror flick It Comes at Night.
