On pace for upwards of $18 million this weekend, &#8220;Fate&#8221; should have no trouble retaining the weekend crown.<\/p>\n<p>This will be the last time it wears that crown, however.  &#8220;Guardians Of The Galaxy, Volume 2&#8221; is a lock to dominate next weekend&#8217;s box office.<\/p>\n<p>To the surprise of many pundits, Friday&#8217;s #2 film was &#8220;Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.&#8221;  The Bollywood sequel garnered an impressive $4.8 million from fewer than 450 screens (an unusually large $2.5 million came from Thursday previews).<\/p>\n<p>Because the Friday figure was so markedly buoyed by the Thursday previews, &#8220;Baahubali 2&#8221; is obviously not going to maintain a $5 million\/day pace on Saturday and Sunday.  Pundits do, however, believe it can post a weekend gross in the $8-10 million range.<\/p>\n<p>Should it land in the middle or high-end of that range, it will achieve a record US debut for a Bollywood film.  &#8220;Dhoom 3,&#8221; which earned $8 million, currently holds that distinction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How To Be A Latin Lover,&#8221; which earned an impressive $3.9 million from just under 1120 screens, was Friday&#8217;s #3 film.  It should improve to #2 by Sunday with a bow in the $11-12.5 million range.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Circle&#8221; is the widest of this week&#8217;s three major new releases, but it had the weakest Friday performance.  The film, which earned $3.2 million from 3163 screens, was #4 on the Friday chart.  While it may end up ahead of &#8220;Baahubali 2&#8221; by Sunday, its performance is still disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>Credited with $2.0 million, &#8220;The Boss Baby&#8221; was #5 Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;The Fate Of The Furious&#8221; is aiming for a final weekend victory before &#8220;Guardians Of The Galaxy&#8221; takes over.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":85366,"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":[8894,8895,8699,8879,8792],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Fate Of The Furious&quot; Leads Friday Box Office: &quot;Baahubali 2,&quot; &quot;Latin Lover&quot; Impress,&quot; &quot;The Circle&quot; Disappoints<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Setting itself up for a third straight US weekend box office victory, &quot;The Fate Of The Furious&quot; took first place Friday.
