By Sunday, the movie is expected to have taken over $192m in the U.S. alone since its release on April 14.
In second place is new release The Circle, starring Beauty and the Beasts’ Emma Watson and double-Oscar-winner Tom Hanks.
The film, which is an adaptation of the best-selling Dave Eggers novel is expected to bring in $10,500,000, according to pro.boxoffice.com.
The weekend’s projected top 5 is rounded off with Fox’s Boss Baby in fourth place and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast in 5th.
