Focus Features continuation of 'Downton Abbey' kicked off this weekend's busy box office, bringing in $2.1M on Thursday night in a wide release, and is expected to make around $20M (as are the other two movies out this weekend). 'Downton Abbey' was made on an impressive $13 million budget.
Right behind 'Downton Abbey' is Brad Pitt's space movie 'Ad Astra', which brought in $1.5 million on Thursday (this one has a reported budget of $80M).
The third major release, 'Rambo: Last Blood', made $1.3 million at nearly 2,900 screens in the U.S. and Canada, and again, like said before, all three are expected to make roundabouts $20M each this weekend (Rambo has an approximate budget of $50 million).
