\n\tLionsgate<\/a>\u2018s Michael<\/a> is continuing its dance party, ringing up $11.1M on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s the fourth best Tuesday for a live-action movie in April ever, behind only Disney\/Marvel\u2019s Avengers: Endgame ($33.1M, April 30, 2019), Universal\u2019s Furious 7 ($13.3M, April 7, 2015) and last year\u2019s A Minecraft Movie from Warner Bros and Legendary ($12.7M, April 8, 2025).<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong all Tuesdays in April, the Antoine Fuqua-directed Michael ranks sixth: Illumination\/Nintendo\/Universal\u2019s The Super Mario Bros Movie and Super Mario Galaxy Movie muscle their way into the rankings with respective Tuesday takes of $15.4M (April 11, 2023) and $14.7M (April 7, 2026).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe running cume through Tuesday for Michael is $116M, and soon it will topple Lionsgate\u2019s The Housemaid\u2018s domestic take of $126.4M by Friday, as well as the studio\u2019s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes ($166.3M) and potentially John Wick: Chapter 4 ($187.1M) by Sunday to become Lionsgate\u2019s highest-grossing movie Stateside at the post-Covid box office.<\/p>\n

\n\tSecond-weekend estimates for Michael are between $45M-$50M, around a -50% hold or better in the face of 20th Century Studios\/Disney\u2019s female-skewing The Devil Wears Prada 2, which is eyeing $73M-$80M. The David Frankel-directed movie notched 76% certified fresh with critics, which bodes well for the movie, a rating that\u2019s on par to the 2006 original 2006 which was 75% certified fresh. Devil Wears Prada received a B CinemaScore back in the day but was a huge hit, grossing $124.7M domestic and $326.5M worldwide.<\/p>\n
