STX/Miramax’s The Gentlemen slotted third with $550K, -6%, and a running total in Week 2 of $22.6M.

‘Birds Of Prey’ Hopes To Slay $110M-$125M Global Opening – Box Office Preview. While it’s excellent that Warner Bros supported a female filmmaker in Cathy Yan as they, like Disney, are championing a diverse behind-the-camera workplace, Birds of Prey repped her second directing feature after her Sundance-winning Dead Pigs and her first big studio film.

Among the top  5 opening movies in February: Black Panther with the month’s record of $202M, Deadpool with $132.4M, Fifty Shades of Grey with $85.1M, The Passion of the Christ with $83.8M and The Lego Movie with $69M.

We've seen that paradigm shift in recent years, though that applies more to March; as big studios plan a greater number of annual blockbusters, the "spring" season of movie releases has gotten earlier.
