Bebe Wood, Renee Rapp and Avantika Vandanapu star as The Plastics in the 2024 adaptation of "Mean Girls."
Paramount's "Mean Girls," a musical film adaptation of the Broadway show and beloved 2004 film of the same name, opened to an estimated $28 million at the domestic box office, on its way to a $32 million take for the holiday weekend.
"The success of Mean Girls this weekend is a case study in nostalgia successfully paired with a fresh and modern hook for today's female audience," said Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at BoxOffice.com.
In fact, the biggest percentage of ticket sales were for those aged 26 to 35, who accounted for 34% of all opening weekend ticket sales.
Mean Girls is truly an [intellectual property] that's evolved into a multi-threat pop culture standout."
