Animated holiday film Sing earned $1.7 million in Tuesday night previews at the North American box office, enough to beat Assassin's Creed and Passengers.
The trio of titles are opening everywhere Wednesday in advance of the long Christmas weekend.
Among the three, Illumination Entertainment and Universal's Sing has the best shot of toppling holdover Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, although many are betting on the latter to stay No. 1. On Tuesday, Lucasfilm and Disney's Rogue One topped the chart for the full day with nearly $18 million.
