\n\tLionsgate\u2018s Michael <\/em>continued its dance party into yesterday, Tuesday, where the Antoine Fuqua directed feature rang up $11.1M. For a live-action movie in April, that\u2019s the fourth best Tuesday ever behind Disney Marvel Studios\u2019 Avengers: Endgame <\/em>($33.1M, April 30, 2019), Universal\u2019s Furious 7 <\/em>($13.3M, April 7, 2025) and last April\u2019s A Minecraft Movie <\/em>from Warner Bros and Legendary ($12.7M, April 8, 2025). <\/p>\n \n\tAmong all Tuesdays in April, Michael <\/em>ranks sixth: Illumination\/Nintendo\/Universal\u2019s Super Mario Bros Movie <\/em>and Super Mario Galaxy Movie <\/em>muscle their way into the day\u2019s rankings with respective Tuesday takes of $15.4M (April 11, 2023) and $14.7M (April 7, 2026). <\/p>\n \n\tThe running cume through yesterday for Michael <\/em>is $116M and it will soon topple Lionsgate\u2019s The Housemaid<\/em>\u2018s domestic take of $126.4M by Friday, as well as the studio\u2019s Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes <\/em>($166.3M) and potentially John Wick: Chapter 4<\/em> ($187.1M) by Sunday to become Lionsgate\u2019s highest grossing movie stateside at the post-Covid box office. <\/p>\n \n\tSecond weekend estimates for Michael<\/em> are between $45M-$50M, around a -50% hold or better in the face of 20th Century Studios\/Disney\u2019s highly anticipated female-skewing The Devil Wears Prada 2 <\/em>which is eyeing $73M-$80M. The David Frankel directed movie notched 76% certified fresh with critics, which bodes well for the movie, a rating that\u2019s on par to the original 2006 movie which was 75% certified fresh. Devil Wears Prada <\/em>received a B CinemaScore back in the day, but was a huge hit grossing $124.7M domestic, $326.5M. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
