It will beat Black Panther’s 51-day streak and Avatar: The Way of Water‘s 52-day streak to become the #12 longest of all time to stay above the $1 million mark. Despite the loss of 325 theaters, the movie declined by just 30.8% from last Friday. It has hit the $242.1 million cume at the North American box office. It will cross the $250 million milestone in North America this weekend.
