Coming in second on Friday, but likely to finish third for the weekend, is Sony's Money Monster, which scored an estimated $5 million on Friday along with a "B+" CinemaScore. The studio is projecting a $14.5-15 million weekend. The weekend's other new wide release, Bh Tilt's The Darkness, appears to be right on track if not slightly ahead of expectations.

You can see our complete chart of Friday estimates right here and we'll be back tomorrow morning with a complete weekend wrap-up.
