Ben Affleck’s AIRMovie opens in its first 5 days at the domestic box office with an impressive $20.2 million, outperforming previous projections.
Ben Affleck's new directorial outing Air—which tells the story of a Nike salesman Sonny Vaccaro as he tries to get a rookie Michael Jordan to sign on to create the now iconic Air Jordan shoe brand—is off to a great start at the box office. The new film has pulled in $14.4 million in its first 3-day weekend at the Domestic Box Office. Adding in the two extra days since the film's premiere on Wednesday, April 5, the dramatic comedy has secured itself a healthy $20.
The 5-day earnings see Air outperforming original projections and are a fantastic start for a dramedy aimed at adults. Following a strong opening on Wednesday of $3.2 million, the film saw a slight dip of 26% on Thursday with $2.4 million. This would ramp back up on Friday with an increase of 106% percent, ending the first day of the 3-day weekend with $5 million. Saturday saw the daily gross be even higher than the day before, ending with $5.8 million, a 16% increase.
