 Weekend Box Office Guestimates: Blue = High | Red = Low – Estimates In Millions |
 |
Finally, the summer movie season has arrived! Shrek 2 looks to be on its way to a record May opening, having gleaned $49,445,000 in its first three days of release, with $28,500,000 in box office receipts on Friday night alone.
Compare that to either Troy’s or Van Helsing’s rather anemic opening weekends, of $45.8 and $54 million, respectively.
In reporting on the opening of Shrek 2, The Hollywood Reporter asks and answers, How green is the weekend tally?, while Gitesh Pandya at Box Office Guru suggests that Shrek 2 looks “to inject some green into the early summer box office,” as does Reagen Sulewski at Box Office Prophets.
