The Bad Guys is an animated family-friendly PG film that has risen above all competition at the box office this weekend and is projected to snag the top spot from last weekend’s Fantastic Beasts 3 (Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore), ranking number one!  Reminiscent of a child-friendly Suicide Squad, DreamWorks Animation’s The Bad Guys is about “Several reformed yet misunderstood criminal animals attempt to become good, with some disastrous results along the way.”

Box Office Numbers for The Bad Guys Movie

The Bad Guys movie is currently exceeding the box office projections, which initially predicted the film’s opening weekend to gain between $15 to $20 million. After being released for one day at 4,900 theaters, DreamWorks The Bad Guys movie estimated domestic daily revenue from April 22nd is $8,000,000.
