Paramount's 'Mean Girls' musical has taken the global box office by storm, surpassing the $100 million mark to the tune of $101.2 million after just six weeks in theaters. This pink-hued movie musical, a spin-off of the popular 2004 comedy classic, has proven to be a hit both domestically and internationally. With $71.2 million in North America and an additional $30 million from overseas markets, 'Mean Girls' has captured the hearts of viewers around the world.
Originally intended for a streaming debut on Paramount+, the decision to opt for a theatrical release came after overwhelmingly positive test screenings. The film, made on a modest budget of $36 million, has far exceeded expectations, claiming the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office for three consecutive weeks since its release on Jan. 12. With successful openings in countries like the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico, 'Mean Girls' continues to attract audiences globally.
