Getting a one-day jump ahead of “Thor: Ragnarok,” “Bad Moms Christmas” had been projected to earn in the $22 million to $25 million range for the five-day weekend. However, Wednesday previews indicate that the film is looking at an opening in the high teens instead.

Its predecessor “Bad Moms” grossed $23.8 million opening weekend and has since grossed $113 million domestically.

So far, reviews have been mixed. While there is no Rotten Tomatoes score available, Metacritic pits the film at 41 points out of 100.

The R-rated film was written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, who did the original “Bad Moms” as well. Suzanne Todd produced.
