The original Mean Girls hit theaters two decades ago. Since then, the movie was turned into a Broadway musical … and then that musical was turned into a movie.
The new Mean Girls debuted with $28 million in North America, good enough to top the $24.4 million that Lindsay Lohan’s Mean Girls opened with in 2004.
