Paramount’s “Bob Marley: One Love” is heading into Presidents’ Day weekend with plenty of momentum and $17.9 million grossed at the domestic box office, including a $14 million opening day total that’s the highest ever for a mid-week Valentine’s Day release.

Buoyed by fans of the reggae legend and couples going out to the movies on Feb. 14, the music biopic is on pace to meet if not clear projections of a $30 million – $35 million 6-day opening. While critics have been mixed on the film with a 43% Rotten Tomatoes score, opening night audiences gave it their seal of approval with an A on CinemaScore.
