Lionsgate’s Michael is expected to top the box office this weekend in its fourth frame with more than 25 million dollars. Focus Features’ Obsession is tracking for a solid third place debut between 13 million and 15 million dollars.
Michael earned 6.6 million dollars on Friday from 3,560 theaters. The biopic is down 34 percent from the prior weekend and is pacing toward a domestic total of 281.6 million dollars, which would surpass Lionsgate’s Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 final domestic gross of 281.7 million dollars. Premium large format and Imax screens are contributing to the hold.
