IN THE HEIGHTS is Projected to Bring in $13M in its Opening Weekend

The new film adaptation of 'In The Heights' has brought in box office numbers that are lower than predicted, Variety reports. However, the musical is still set to top the domestic box office this weekend.

The film was expected to generate more than $20 million. However, with it bringing in $4.9 million on Friday from 3,456 theaters, its 3-day estimate is now just under $13 million.

These numbers could be in part due to the film's release on HBO Max, available for free to those who are subscribed to the streaming service.

Following 'Heights' at the box office this weekend is the thrilled 'A Quiet Place Part II' which brought in $3.7 million on Friday from 3,515 theaters. The film is set to bring in $11.4 million over the weekend.

'The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It' is estimated to bring in $10.9 million from 3,237 theaters, with 'Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway,' in the fourth spot, predicted to bring in just over $10 million from 3,346 theaters during its debut weekend.
