LOS ANGELES - Disney’s live-action “Aladdin” is flying high with an estimated $105 million in North America during the four-day Memorial Day holiday weekend.
“Aladdin” has outperformed Disney’s pre-opening domestic projections, which were in the $75 million to $85 million range, taking in $86.1 million in its first three days. The reboot of the original 1992 animated movie — which generated $502 million in worldwide box office — stars Mena Massoud as Aladdin, Will Smith as the Genie, Naomi Scott as Jasmine and Marwan Kenzari as Jafar. Guy Ritchie directed “Aladdin,” produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich.
Comscore estimated that total domestic business for the four-day weekend was $226 million. That was about $1.8 million shy of the total for the same frame last year, when “Solo: A Star Wars Story” launched with $103 million. The top Memorial Day weekend took place in 2013 when “Fast and Furious 6” launched and North American moviegoing totaled $314 million for the four days.
Lionsgate’s second session of “John Wick: Chapter 3” should be runner-up with $30.5 million following its surprisingly strong opening of $56.8 million. The actioner will wind up the holiday weekend with $107 million domestically.
Will was the best part, Mena did aight and Naomi was great! 🙏🏿 I just podcasted about my frustrations and praise for this film below! 🙏🏿 Btw l I have the GREATEST SPEAKING VOICE! Please retweet if you agree bro?🙏🏿 👇🏿 Aladdin
Will Smith usually isn't my cup of tea but he was really good in this. Overall it's a real feel good film. The mix of cultures did confuse me a bit but it's a film not reality.

Can 'Aladdin' bring some magic to the Memorial Day box office?'Aladdin' is expected to make $75 million to $85 million at the North American box office over the four-day weekend, Disney says. That total should easily put the live-action reboot of the 1992 animated hit in the top spot at the Memorial Day box office Everytime CNN predicts something, always get it wrong, let see what happens this time. Probably won’t break 50 million I love Disney but this is a hard pass for me. I’m tired of live action movie remakes from animation. Hire people with new ideas for goodness sake.
