After ruling for five consecutive weekend, “Black Panther” is poised to cede the US box office thrown.<\/p>\n

“Pacific Rim Uprising” is poised to move into first place this week.<\/p>\n

The newcomer convincingly won Friday with $10.4 million in receipts. Analysts expect the film to close the weekend with $24-28 million.<\/p>\n

The three-day figure will trail that of the 2013 original ($37.3 million), but it should be enough to give “Uprising” a victory in this weekend’s race.<\/p>\n

“Black Panther,” which took second place Friday ($4.4 million), will also claim the runner-up position for the weekend. Pundits anticipate a $15-18 million haul.<\/p>\n

“I Can Only Imagine” took third place on Friday with $3.8 million. It should close the weekend with $11-15 million.<\/p>\n

“Tomb Raider,” which earned $2.9 million, was Friday’s #4 film. Its three-day weekend tally will likely land in the $9-11 million range.<\/p>\n

New release “Sherlock Gnomes” failed to gain much traction Friday. The film took fifth place with only $2.8 million in opening day receipts.<\/p>\n

The film should close the weekend with $9-12 million, which will be a far cry from the $25.4 million earned by 2011’s “Gnomeo & Juliet.” This film, moreover, is not expected to match that release’s longevity (it ended up grossing just under $100 million at the domestic box office).<\/p>\n

Other new releases also included “Paul, Apostle Of Christ” (Friday’s #8 film with $1.7 million), “Midnight Sun” (#9, $1.5 million), and “Unsane” (#10, $1.4 million). None of the films is a lock to break $5 million this weekend.<\/p>\n

That news is particularly disappointing for “Midnight Sun” and “Unsane,” which had visible promotional campaigns and launched in over 2000 theaters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cPacific Rim Uprising\u201d is on pace to claim #1 at the US weekend box office.","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":109023,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[36,1050],"tags":[10445,10690,10642,10725,10728,10727,9753,10726],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n"Pacific Rim Uprising" Leads US Friday Box Office; "Sherlock Gnomes," "Midnight Sun," "Unsane" Start Softly<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"After ruling for five consecutive weekend, "Black Panther" is poised to cede the US box office thrown.
