“The Angry Birds Movie” Flying To Weekend Box Office Win

The Angry Birds Movie is flying to the top of the box office for a win in its opening weekend.
Angry Birds, of course, is based on the popular video game of the same name. With the voices of Jason Sudeikis and Josh Gad, among many other stars, the animated kids movie is soaring to a $39.4 million debut. And with that, the two-week chart-topping reign of Captain America: Civil War is coming to an end.
The Marvel movie will have to settle for second place this time around, with a projected $32 million. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, which sees Chloe Grace Moretz joining Zac Efron and Seth Rogen, is looking at $22.8 million for a third place debut. Finishing in fourth will likely be The Jungle Book with $11.3.
$11 million in ticket sales would put Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe’s The Nice Guys in the number five spot for its first weekend. A box office haul of $6.9 million has Money Monster eyeing sixth. And horror film The Darkness may nab seventh if it brings in $2.1 million.
Probably rounding out the Top 10 are Zootopia ($1.7 million), The Huntsman: Winter’s War ($1.2 million), and Mother’s Day ($1.1 million). All figures are currently estimates.
