Iron Lung Box Office Mix-Up Clarified: Estimates vs. Actuals
Markiplier’s Iron Lung opened at #1 on Friday with about $9M and closed the weekend with $17.8M, just behind Send Help’s $20M. A reporting hiccup led to Iron Lung briefly disappearing from The Numbers’ daily charts, which The Numbers explained was due to not having official daily estimates over the weekend and relying on industry estimates instead. The situation wasn’t suspicious: Iron Lung is self-distributed, and The Numbers and Box Office Mojo later reflected the weekend totals as actuals once Markiplier’s team provided them. The Numbers will continue updating with official numbers as they arrive.
