Pixels opened at #1 on Friday with $9.2 million, but the latest estimates predict that it will fail to retain that spot for the weekend. Instead, it will be Ant-Man which just manages to beat it to the top of the North America box office with $26.1 million compared to Pixel's $23.8 million.
This could change as these sorts of estimates can sometimes be off by a few million every now and again, but with such negative buzz surrounding the Adam Sandler led release, it's hard to imagine it getting a sudden increase thanks to positive word of mouth and a so/so B CinemaScore.
Ant-Man continues to do well regardless. If it does earn around $26 million this weekend, that will be a drop of only 55%, a fairly strong hold and less of a decline than both Captain America: The First Avenger and The Incredible Hulk (they fell by 60%). What did you decide to watch this weekend?
