Friday brought a slew of newcomers to the domestic box office, including Magnolia Pictures’ “Normal” and “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” from Warner Bros. and Atomic Monster. However, neither of them could usurp Universal’s “Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” which is looking to lead the box office for the third weekend in a row.

“Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” placed third with $5.2 million on opening day from 3,304 North American theaters. The body-horror reimagining of Karl Freund’s 1932 classic should earn about $12 million by Sunday.
