‘Now You See Me 3’ races past ‘The Running Man’ at box office

'Miracle at the Box Office: 'Now You See Me 3' Defies Expectations'. In a stunning upset, Warner Bros.' "Now You See Me 3", directed by Scooter Ingalls and Louis Leterrier, has surpassed Universal's high-octane action film, "The Running Man". The box office numbers have left industry insiders stunned as the sequel to the magical realism mystery trilogy outperformed expectations.

According to sources, the US domestic total of 'Now You See Me 3' reached approximately $20 million on its opening weekend. This result surpassed forecasts by over $10 million and solidified Warner Bros.' position as a major player in the competitive film industry.

While "The Running Man", which boasts an ensemble cast including Jason Statham, Idris Elba, and Avan Jogia, was expected to hold strong in its debut weekend, 'Now You See Me 3's' impressive box office numbers left it struggling to keep up.

Industry experts have attributed the surprising success of "Now You See Me 3" to a combination of factors. Firstly, the sequel boasts an all-star cast that includes Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, and Lizzy Caplan, which is expected to draw in fans of the original trilogy. Secondly, Warner Bros.' decision to release the film in IMAX theaters has undoubtedly contributed to its impressive box office numbers.

The unexpected success of 'Now You See Me 3' serves as a reminder that no film is ever truly safe from upsets on opening weekend.

OMG 🤯 I'm like totally surprised by this news!! "Now You See Me 3" actually beating out "The Running Man" at the box office? That's wild! I mean, I've been hearing good things about Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson in this movie... they're like two of my fave actors 😎. And IMAX release? Genius move by Warner Bros.! It makes total sense that it would do so well. The original trilogy was always kinda magical, you know? 🧙‍♂️ I guess the magic has followed through to the third installment. Bring on more updates!
 
I'm kinda surprised by this news 🤔. I mean, "The Running Man" was hyped so much with its big names like Jason Statham and Idris Elba, but 'Now You See Me 3' just went and smashed it on the box office 💥. I guess you could say Warner Bros. made a smart move by releasing it in IMAX theaters - that's some clever marketing 💡. It's not every day we see an underdog like "Now You See Me 3" come out on top, but I suppose surprises can happen at the movies sometimes 😮.
 
I'm so confused... I thought "The Running Man" was gonna crush it at the box office! 🤯 But now I see how "Now You See Me 3" did way better than expected. It's like, I get why the all-star cast would draw in fans from the original trilogy, but I didn't think it'd be THAT big of a deal. And using IMAX theaters? That's a nice touch, I guess. 🎥 I dunno, maybe I'm just not used to these big box office surprises... it's like my expectations got "tricked" into doing a trick! 😂
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this, but I guess you could say magic happens at the movies! 🎥 I mean, who would've thought "Now You See Me 3" would take down "The Running Man"? I remember watching the first one with my buddies back in '14 and we were all like "Wow, what's up with this mind-bending stuff?" Fast forward to today and it's still got that same mystique. The cast, too - Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson... they're legends! And hey, releasing it in IMAX? That's some smart marketing right there! I'm not surprised it did so well, though. These movies always had a certain je ne sais quoi. It just goes to show that you can't count people out of the movies anymore! 😄
 
Box office surprises are always fun 🎥 I mean, who saw this coming? 20 million on opening weekend? That's wild! Warner Bros. must have done something right with IMAX release 🤔
 
😮 I'm low-key surprised by this 🤯 news! 'Now You See Me 3' totally crushed it at the box office, beating out "The Running Man" 🏃‍♂️! The cast is so fire 🔥 with Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, and Lizzy Caplan - I mean, who doesn't love a good magic mystery? 🧙‍♂️ IMAX release also helped give it an edge 💸. Industry experts are like "duh" - an all-star cast + strategic release = win! 🎉 This shows that no movie is safe from being a surprise hit on opening weekend 🤯...
 
idk what's going on with these movies lol 🤯 i mean, 'now you see me 3' did really well? like, who even saw this coming? i was talking to my friend last month and we were both thinking "now you see me" is a total forgotten franchise 🙄. but i guess the new cast helps? jesse eisenberg and woody harrelson are still cool in my eyes 😎

anyway, it's actually kinda cool that warner bros took a risk on releasing this movie in imax 🎥. sometimes these big studios just play it safe, you know? but at least this one is trying something new.

it's also interesting to see how the box office numbers are different from last time... like, what changed? was it the marketing or something? i'm not exactly a film expert, but i guess the surprise factor definitely helped 🤔
 
🤔 I'm not buying it... Like, how did Warner Bros.' "Now You See Me 3" outdo "The Running Man" by over $10 million? That's just crazy talk. Have we seen the numbers? What were those numbers supposed to be again? And what's with IMAX theaters? Did that really boost box office numbers or was it just a fancy way to say "we spent more money on fancy screens"? 🤑 Also, where are the ratings? Was this film even well-received by critics? Just seems like a bunch of hype to me. Can we get some actual data here? 💯
 
OMG, who knew magic tricks could bring in so much dough? I mean, $20 million is crazy! Guess you could say the three musketeers of magic (Jesse, Woody, and Lizzy) are back to save the day... or was it just a fluke? 🤔♂️ Warner Bros. is on fire right now! IMAX, huh? Sounds like they really wanted to splurge on this one. Either way, I'm gonna be keeping an eye out for more of these magic-filled movies... might just cast a spell on my wallet 💸
 
idk why anyone would think Jason Statham's "Running Man" would even come close to beating out the magic of "Now You See Me 3". I mean, sure, it's got some big names attached but let's be real, Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg are basically box office guaranteed. And have you seen the trailer for "Now You See Me 3"? It's like a puzzle wrapped in a mystery inside another puzzle . The IMAX release was the final nail in the coffin for "Running Man", if you ask me 🤑🎥
 
Dude, I'm literally shocked 😱 by how well "Now You See Me 3" did at the box office! The cast is insane, it's like a dream team 🤩 - Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Lizzy Caplan... who wouldn't want to see them on screen? 💥 And releasing it in IMAX theaters was a genius move by Warner Bros.! It totally paid off 🤑. I'm loving the magic realism vibes this movie brings #MagicIsReal #NowYouSeeMe3 #IMAXMasterpiece
 
I'm SO SURPRISED by how well "Now You See Me 3" did!!! I mean, the cast is AMAZING, especially with Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson back in action! And releasing it in IMAX theaters was a genius move - it definitely added to the excitement and made it a must-see for fans of the original trilogy. I'm loving how the sequel is breaking box office records left and right 🎥💸. It's always unpredictable on opening weekend, but this one is definitely a MIRACLE!

I remember watching the first one with my friends and we were all like "this is gonna be a movie for the ages" lol. but i guess sometimes the magic doesn't last 😂. I do think having a big name cast is key tho, i mean who wouldn't want to see jesse eisenberg and woody harrelson on screen together? 🤣 and releasing it in imax theaters was a great move too, that's always a plus for the box office. anyway, you never know what's gonna happen on opening weekend, it's all about surprise and delight 😊
 
I'm so confused by this news 🤯! I thought "The Running Man" was gonna be the clear winner with all those big-name actors, but it looks like "Now You See Me 3" surprised everyone instead. I guess having a great cast and showing the movie in fancy IMAX theaters really helped? I don't get why people would choose to watch something that's not as action-packed as "The Running Man", though 🤔. Anyway, kudos to Warner Bros for pulling off such an unexpected win! 🎥
 
lol just saw now you see me 3 took down that other movie and i'm like what?? $20 million on the first weekend? that's crazy! i think part of it has to be the all-star cast, people love jesse eisenberg and woody harrelson 🤩. but at the same time, warner bros' decision to show it in imax theaters must've helped too. anyway, it's always weird when expectations are thrown out the window like this 🤑. anyone else see it?
 
🤯 I was like "wait what" when I heard 'Now You See Me 3' actually did so well at the box office 🎥👀, $20 million on its first weekend? That's crazy! I thought for sure it would be a close race with "The Running Man". Guess you can never count out a good magic trick movie 🧙‍♂️🔮. The all-star cast is definitely a plus, and releasing it in IMAX theaters must have helped. It's always wild when box office predictions don't pan out 💸🎬.
 
omg, who would've thought that magic would actually work this time? I mean, i was starting to think the whole "now you see me" thing was just a bunch of hype 🤣 anyway, 20 million bucks on opening weekend is no joke, kudos to warner bros for pulling off the impossible. and let's be real, who wouldn't want to see jesse eisenberg and woody harrelson team up again? they're like two old friends who haven't seen each other in years 🤝 i'm not saying it's going to last or anything, but for now, let's just enjoy the ride 😎
