It’s another win for original movies, and this time around with a fresh face cast, as Amblin/New Republic/Universal’s 1917 jumps to a $36.5M wide opening, putting its running total at $39.2M since its limited Christmas debut. Those are official Sunday AM estimates from Uni after a $13.7M Saturday that was -2% from Friday’s $14M which included previews $3.25M previews. Uni says 1917 is the No. 1 pic in the world over the weekend with $56.2M.

I just noticed that on MoJo - it's showing a $13+ million take on Jan 10th, up from $190K the week before.

This thing has taken-off weeks into its release, what the hell explains that jump - word of mouth, # of screens?

Damn, I really want to see this at the theater, but the closest one is 100+ miles away.
