'IF' Domestic Box Office Debut To Overthrow 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes'

The Big Picture It’s admirable of writer-director John Krasinski to cash the blank check that Paramount cut him following the blockbuster success of his two A Quiet Place movies on something as wildly different as IF. The PG-rated live-action animated film opened theatrically on Friday, coming in under expectations at the domestic box office.

Slipping to second place after outdoing expectations in its domestic debut last week, 20th Century Studios’ Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes grossed $6.8 million on its second Friday, taking its running total to over $80 million. The fourth installment in the Planet of the Apes reboot series is eying around $25 million this weekend, and should it come in on the higher end of projections, it will clear the $100 million mark domestically by Sunday.

In fourth place, Universal’s The Fall Guy generated $2.2 million on its third Friday, and should clear the $60 million mark by Sunday if it is able to meet its projected $8 million haul this weekend. But no matter how you cut it, the action-comedy is struggling to match its pre-release buzz, and is still tracking behind director David Leitch’s last film, Bullet Train.
