Trader consensus overwhelmingly backs the 35-38 million range for Michael's third domestic weekend box office, fueled by robust Friday earnings near $9 million despite losing IMAX screens, a projected Mother's Day Sunday uplift on May 10, and exceptional word-of-mouth yielding just a 44% drop to $54 million in weekend two after a record-shattering $97 million debut for a musical biopic. High audience scores counter poor critical reception, driving repeat viewership and legs of 2.5x the opener, with cumulative domestic now topping $240 million en route to eclipsing Bohemian Rhapsody's haul. Realistic upsets like a sharper-than-expected 40%+ plunge from intensifying competition or weather disruptions remain slim given steady per-theater averages and third-place hold.
