‘Mufasa’ Stays King as ‘One of Them Days’ Climbs at Box Office

“One of Them Days” defied expectations as it passed Universal’s “Wolf Man” this weekend.

One of Them Days shocked the box office this weekend as the SZA and Keke Palmer comedy passed Universal’s Wolf Man reboot. The Sony movie opened in second place at $11.6 million at 2,675 North American theaters-with an estimated $14 million more expected through the end of the holiday weekend on Monday. Wolf Man, which was expected to steal the number one spot, sat at third place with $10.5 million in 3,354 venues and an estimated $12 million through Monday’s holiday. Palmer’s film holds a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score, while the Universal reboot received a rocky 53% score. Standing strong, however, is Mufasa, which lost its number-one spot last weekend but made a comeback with $11.9 million at 3,555 theaters and an estimated $15.5 million for the weekend. So far, the movie has made $209.8 million domestically and $588.4 million globally, according to Variety.
