Bohemian Rhapsody, 20th Century Fox, is doing better than expected at the box office. According to preliminary estimates, Freddie Mercury's biopic is close to $ 50 million this weekend.
The deadline indicates that the film exceeds expectations, with Saturday's estimates reporting a three-day opening weekend forecast at $ 48.9 million.
Although official estimates of the three days are not expected before Sunday morning, they could easily exceed $ 50 million, an exceptional start for a film that had its share of production difficulties.
Great Beginnings: Bohemian Rhapsody, starring Rami Malek (seen at a BAFTA movie screening in October), is planning an opening weekend opening of over 50 million dollars
The biopic also opened last weekend with $ 13 million in its UK release and, with its planned national debut, it has already surpassed its production budget by $ 55 million.
The film is already a hit with fans and critics, garnering the coveted rating of A CinemaScore and 60% "cool" on Rotten Tomatoes.
BoxOffice.com's first forecast in September forecast a first weekend of $ 35 million. At the beginning of October, the beginnings had been projected at $ 40 million. Today, this figure should also overshadow this figure.
The success of the film could be perceived as a minor miracle, given the way the production had to change director during filming.

Dangerous game: the director would also have had many clashes with the star Rami Malek. The director would have even thrown electrical equipment at the star during one of their many clashes.
In December 2017, Variety announced that director Bryan Singer had been fired halfway through the production, after several failures on the part of the director.
The director also reportedly had numerous clashes with star Rami Malek. The director would have even thrown electrical devices at the star during one of their many clashes.
20th Century Fox hired Dexter Fletcher (Eddie the Eagle) to complete the production of the biopic.
While Singer retained his only director credit, Fletcher received an executive producer credit for his work on the film.

Bohemian Rhapsody opened in nearly 4,000 theaters this weekend, competing against The Nutcracker and The Four Kingdoms in 3,766 theaters, and Paramount's Nank & Fool's Movie in 2,468 theaters.
Deadline reports that The Nutcracker and the Four Kingdoms is very underperforming, with a planned opening weekend of $ 20.2 million on a $ 120 million budget.
Nobody's Fool, director Tyler Perry's latest film, starring Tiffany Haddish and Tika Sumpter, is planning a $ 13.8 million debut, although it costs only $ 12 million.
Big success: The first screenings of BoxOffice.com in September were on a budget of $ 35 million for the opening weekend, but in early October, the beginning was estimated at $ 40 million. Today, it should eclipse that figure as well.
