Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel continues to expand into more theaters and earned $2.3 million at the box office on Friday and will likely earn about $8 million, which would be good enough for fourth place.

According to Deadline, Mr. Peabody & Sherman continues to show a little life in theaters after earning another $2.18 million. The film is projected to earn about $9 million and could challenge Muppets for third place at the box office.

In its second weekend God's Not Dead earned $2.2 million and is projected to make $7.7 million, which would bring its total gross to $21 million.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's new film fell flat on its face with a Friday box office total of $1.78 million. Projections have tumbled after a weak start and the film will likely only earn $5.38 million.
