Since the 2004 original was a hit, people wish to know how Mean Girls (2024) will perform financially. What are its opening weekend box office projections and will it be a flop or a success? Here are the Mean Girls box office predictions for 2024.
How much is Mean Girls (2024) predicted to make at the box office?
The upcoming Mean Girls movie is reportedly tracking a domestic opening of around $20 million, while its domestic total is predicted to end up between $50 million and $105 million.
Besides the 3-day opening, Deadline reports that Mean Girls could rake in $27 million across the long Martin Luther King Jr. 4-day holiday weekend. Previously, Box Office Pro’s long-range predictions suggested that the film’s opening box office range stands between $20 – 40 million and it could go on to bring anywhere between $50 – $105 million at the domestic box office. But would that be enough to make it a profitable entry?
Will Mean Girls (2024) flop or succeed?
Mean Girls is looking to become 2024’s first box office hit. But its success also depends on its budget and international box office numbers.
The original Mean Girls movie was produced on a budget of $17 million and went on to bring $130 million worldwide. This total was dominated by its domestic performance of $86 million. So, we could also expect the latest outing to be more popular domestically, than internationally.
While the budget for the 2024 outing hasn’t been revealed yet, it could still turn out to be profitable (as per the above predictions) if the budget is anywhere near the previous one. Competition with The Beekeeper and other Holiday period movies such as Wonka could make its success slightly tricky. However, the highly positive early reactions to the film could determine its longer legs at the box office.
So overall, Mean Girl stands a strong chance at becoming the first major profitable entry in 2024!
