Matt Damon‘s “The Martian” looks like it won’t lose fuel this weekend after the Twentieth Century Fox epic’s stellar opening last weekend, when it grossed $54.3 million.
In fact, it’s set to beat newcomer “Pan,” which is projected to gross in the low $20 million range. “The Martian” is looking to add another $32 million to $34 million to its already whopping take, enough to easily win its second consecutive weekend in a row.
“Pan,” starring Hugh Jackman, Rooney Mara, Levi Miller, Garrett Hedlund, Amanda Seyfried and Cara Delevingne, had a production budget of $150 million and is opening in 3,515 locations this Friday.
