While Cocaine Bear didn’t claim the number one spot, the film did outperform projections, bringing in $23.09 million. Universal’s Jim Orr told the outlet, “This is a tremendous debut for Cocaine Bear, an outrageous comedy so well-crafted by director Elizabeth Banks. Audiences across North America were eager to see this original, hysterical film that continues what is shaping up to be a very good year at the domestic box office.”
