Fifty Shades Of Grey has now put the February Box Office Record in its sights. It is aiming for the highest opening weekend of the month ever, a record currently held by The Passion Of The Christ at 83.8M. Will Fifty Shades eek out a win, or will it fall short? It took in a tremendous 31M on Friday, and Saturday should be just as big (if not bigger), as Valentine’s audiences are the whole reason this film is opening this weekend. Also doing banner business is The Kingsman, which pulled in 10M on Friday, and is looking to keep hitting on all cylinders as great counterprogramming to Grey.
