Cocaine Bear is projected to overperform its original projections at the domestic box office weekend, taking No. 2 behind Marvel's Ant-Man 3.
Cocaine Bear is having a tremendous opening weekend at the domestic box office and is poised to smash a 2023 record. The action-comedy, which follows the violent mayhem that ensues when a bear ingests a bunch of cocaine that was dropped in the American woods by a panicked drug smuggler, is the third directorial feature from actor Elizabeth Banks, who previously helmed Pitch Perfect 2 and Charlie's Angels 2019. The ensemble cast of the project includes Keri Russell, O'Shea Jackson Jr.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Per Deadline, the viral sensation Cocaine Bear is poised to overperform its already high expectations and rake in an opening weekend total of $21.2 million. Not only is that a solid opening that will place it at No. 2 for the weekend just behind Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, it will be the best opening weekend for an R-rated film so far in 2023.
While Cocaine Bear had a record opening for a 2023 R-rated film, there is still plenty of time left for some new title to overtake that record before the end of the year. While the box office in the pandemic era has been notoriously unpredictable, especially for more adult-oriented fare, there are quite a few films that have the chance to knock Cocaine Bear down to size.
However, that all remains to be seen when the Scream sequel premieres on March 10. Other films that will likely buffet the record held by Cocaine Bear are also entries in major franchises. This includes John Wick: Chapter 4 and Evil Dead Rise, as well as other films slated later in the year that have not yet received official ratings.
