“Ocean’s 8” is on its way to a solid opening weekend of about $41 million from 4,145 North American locations.
Warner Bros.’ women-led heist film, the fourth in the rebooted Ocean’s series, earned $15.8 million Friday, including $4 million from Thursday night previews. Earlier forecasts had placed the film in the $30 million to $44 million range.
Sandra Bullock stars as Danny Ocean’s sister Debbie, along with Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Awkwafina, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson, and Anne Hathaway. Ocean unites the women to pull off a diamond heist at the Met Gala.

I think that 4,145 locations might also have something to do with it. That seems higher than most movies.
Awkwafina? WTF???
[[Sandra Bullock stars ]]
Immediately I’m not interested one iota after reading that
I could not make it through Atomic dumb Blond. It's not like it was Tank Girl or Tomb Raider(2001).
Her 'Penis Facials' (look it up) are forever associated with her name. Whenever I see her now, I can't shake the image of her face being smothered with the foreskins of Korean babies (again, look it up).
I had never heard of her until now. She’s a rapper apparently.
If I cared about Hollywood and it’s success I would go but I don’t so I won’t. It could have billion dollar opening and it would no longer impress me. I used to be a big movie fan years ago. Going was a lot of fun. No longer. It shocks me how indifferent I am now to what is being offered. The last movie I went to in theatre was The Last Jedi and that pretty much killed the Star Wars fan in me. In what might be called collateral damage the rest of moviedom is also close to dead for me as well. The rest of the mass media complex is also in the same sinking boat.
Disgusting.
I think the one thing that can’t be countered is Sandra Bullock is one of the most likable actresses on screen.
She is, pretty much, today’s George Clooney.
Since this is an offshoot and not an attempt to remake there isn’t the anger we saw at Ghostbusters.
Just chalk it up as another chick flick like the that Yaya Sisters of Traveling pants.
Don’t be surprised if hey start integrating from both sides of the Franchise.
Just my 2 cents after watching the industry for all these years.
that is why i refuse to watch her movies any longer- She and her ilk are disgusting-
The original remake of 11 was awesome. The original was awesome.Oceans 12 was a disappointment and 13 was pretty good.
I’ll give this one a shot.
So an untalented black woman?
I could care less if it has all women leads. Is it SJW junk or a good entertaining story well told?
YEah, with ticket prices always going up, and considering inflation, every year its fairly easy to beat a previous years movie.
Gone With the Wind is the highest selling movie of All Time.
I liked Sandra Bullock in Blind Side.
53% of rottentomatoes viewers liked it.
It will go to video very quickly
I expect a big drop-off next week.
She was kind of funny in “Demolition Man”.
