Inches away from the $490 million mark domestically

It scored the 3rd-biggest 5th Friday non-holiday of all time domestically, with just a 26.1% decline from last Friday despite the loss of 386 screens on Thursday. It has also beaten Obsession once again to record the biggest 5th Friday for R-rated movies. The domestic total of the movie is $488 million and will cross $500 million by the end of today.
