Straight Outta Compton $60+ million nukes there opening Weekend Box Office. Intially forcasted for 57 million early numbers show they have already surpassed the forcasted opening as they were still counting receipts in excess of $60 million dollars.
Proving that, for this weekend anyway, it’s better to be a rapper from Compton than a man from U.N.C.L.E., Universal’s Straight Outta Compton is in the midst of utterly cleaning up at the box office, pulling in nearly $30 million between Thursday night and Friday, and now on track to hit $57 million for the weekend. By comparison, the weekend’s other major release, Warner Bros.’ (rather delightful) The Man from U.N.C.L.E., is projected for a disappointing $13 million for the full weekend.
