The film, which covers the life and career of President Ronald Reagan, attracted a large number of viewers interested in this historical figure.

Exceeding Expectations Early

Reagan outperformed initial expectations. With strong word-of-mouth and the interest surrounding the subject, audiences flocked to theaters. Many were eager to see how the movie depicted Reagan’s rise to political power, as well as his legacy. Thanks to this early momentum, the biopic may continue to climb higher on the box office chart over the weekend.

Alien: Romulus Faces Unexpected Competition

Despite its strong run, Alien: Romulus found itself dethroned from the #2 position by Reagan.

However, Alien: Romulus remains in a solid third place, and there’s a chance it could regain ground over the coming days.

What Lies Ahead for Reagan?

With a promising opening, the film could remain a strong contender. Industry analysts predict Reagan might stay in the top three for several weeks. Its combination of compelling storytelling and public interest seems to be working well. The next few days will determine if it can climb even further up the box office rankings.
