Coyote vs. Acme added $5.8M domestic on Saturday, up 9.6% from Friday's $5.3M — the kind of weekend growth family titles typically need to see to build real word of mouth, and the two-day domestic total now stands at $11.1M against the same figure worldwide.
Getting a Saturday bump instead of a slide is the actual good news this weekend.
A Saturday increase like this stands in contrast to the pattern comedies without a strong weekend hook are showing this same frame — this animated-live-action hybrid, built around a long-delayed release history, is instead building rather than fading into its second day. Family titles typically lean on Saturday-Sunday matinee traffic more than a Friday opener, and so far the pattern here is playing out the expected way.
Without a confirmed budget, there's no recovery ratio to run yet. The Sunday number will be the real confirmation of whether this weekend closes as a genuinely solid opening or simply an average one that started from a modest base.
