Weekend Estimates: ‘Glass’ Repeats ($17M+); ‘The Upside’ Holds Up ($10.4M+); ‘Kid Who Would Be King’ & ‘Serenity’ Debut Modestly; ‘Green Book’ Shines Among Oscar Noms

As expected, Glass is on track to repeat at the top of the box office in its second weekend. The M. Night Shyamalan trilogy-capper earned $4.98 million on Friday, down 69 percent from opening day last week. That brings the film’s eight-day haul to $59.5 million, just under Split‘s $59.6 million total and 18 percent ahead of Unbreakable‘s $50.6 million through the same points, respectively. Current weekend projections stand around $17.3 million.

The Upside continues to represent one of the new year’s early bright spots as it posted another $3.1 million yesterday, down just 26 percent from last Friday and giving it $54 million earned in 15 days. STX expects a third frame between $10 million and $10.4 million, although we’re a bit more bullish at $11 million with the lack of competition from football on Sunday.

Debuting noticeably below expectations, unfortunately, was Fox’s The Kid Who Would Be King as it earned $1.7 million on Friday with no Thursday pre-shows. Its weekend multiple should prove strong, but it will likely fall short of pre-release tracking as it looks to take in around $6.8 million this weekend, per Fox’s own projections this morning.

Meanwhile, Aviron’s Serenity bowed to $1.615 million on Friday as it looks to land around expectations with a $4.9 million opening weekend (the distributor’s current projection).

On the Oscar front, here’s how five of the Best Picture nominees fared in their various expansions yesterday:

A Star Is Born ($310K Friday / $205.4 million domestic total)
Bohemian Rhapsody ($615K Friday / $204.0 million)
The Favourite ($650K Friday / $24.2 million)
Green Book ($1.4 million Friday / $45.0 million)
Vice ($477K Friday / $40.8 million)

Early weekend estimates are below. Updated studio estimates to follow on Sunday.
