The Keke Palmer buddy comedy “One of Them Days” opened in first place on the North American box office charts on a particularly slow Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.

Universal and Blumhouse’s “Wolf Man” reboot and the Keke Palmer-led comedy “One of Them Days” will contend for the top slot on box office charts over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. Regardless of which lands in first,

One of Them Days” was the No. 1 movie at the North American box office on a slow Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, according to studio estimates compiled by Comscore. The R-rated movie from Sony (NYSE:SONY) grossed $11.

Universal's "Wolf Man" howls its way to No. 3, with "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" and "Den of Thieves 2: Pantera" close behind.

Despite a better than expected showing by "One of Them Days" (Sony), with $11.6 million in three days for the $14 million, Issa Rae-produced R-rated comedy, this was a pathetic box office for a weekend ahead of MLK Day.

Mufasa: The Lion King continues to roar at the box office, where it looks to beat One of Them Days - the first female-led Black comedy since 2017’s Girls Trip - over the long Martin Luther King Jr. holiday crown as Wolf Man gets gouged.

There's good news at the MLK weekend box office for films like Sony's new buddy comedy "One of Them Days" as well as more milestones for Christmas holdovers "Mufasa" and "Sonic the Hedgehog 3," but this holiday period is proving to be a weak one for theaters.
