Warner Bros’ Baz Luhrmann directed Elvis has grossed $3.5M from all previews off 3,400 locations, which includes Tuesday fan events and last night’s showtimes.
Meanwhile Universal/Blumhouse’s Black Phone took in $3M from showtimes that began at 5PM yesterday at 2,800 sites.It’s expected to be a rich weekend at the box office with potentially four to five movies grossing over $20M.Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby back in May 2013 did $3.25M from previews that began at 10PM that Thursday.
