There's a poster on reddit r/movies who discusses and breaks down the weekend box office news. This is what he had to say about ASIB:

Notable Box Office Stories

A Star is Born (2018) - It looks like the stars (ugh) aligned for the third remake of the classic tale which came out to an incredible $41.5M at #2. That's actually the 10th best opening for an October release making it both new films in wide release this weekend cracked into the top ten of that list. The film has just been on a roller-coaster of positive hype and Oscar buzz for stars Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga and especially for Cooper's debut as a writer/director. Despite being the first time the story has been adapted in 40 years, this is the kind of opening that musical dramas just don't do. Of course the big part of that is the Gaga of it all with her little monsters pushing opening weekends and trolling people online over Venom. But there is more to it than that as Gaga did little to save say Sin City: A Dame to Kill for. The trailer was definitely a big part of the massive opening (which was predicted more at around $25M in early tracking) which played before basically every film for the last 6 months. There's also the feeling of this being the rare event melodrama, a genre that has become more popular with hit buzzy shows like This is Us becoming the new form of must see water cooler TV.

A Star is Born (2018) (cont.) - In many ways A Star is Born is just a machine made to eat money and poop Oscars, with a buzzy soundtrack and slick production values that mine tears. In terms of legs A Star is Born is looking pretty great. It scored an excellent A rating on Cinemascore and these kinds of buzzy films that play to a mostly older crowd (though plenty of young gay men and women were in my theater) which means it just holds and holds. If there's one big block in the future it's actually First Man which could also appeal to that older crowd and choke out the must see Oscary film of the early fall season. Still with a budget of $36M I think Cooper is just fine especially now that he has major studio backing which will coast this to a lot of victories in February.

A Star is Born (2018) (cont.) - I got nothing to say here, I just wanted to take another look at ya. :]

RESPECT THE GAGA

Industry folk agree pretty resoundingly that Lady Gaga is about to have a very big moment. A Star Is Born already looks gigantic as both movie (scoring a terrific $43m opening weekend on about 3.7k screens) and Interscope soundtrack (dominating at iTunes and a contender for #1 on our chart with a likely first-week total north of 150k). Both, it need hardly be added, are supercharged by Gaga’s charisma and talent.

In fact, this chapter is only the latest in a string of successful choices she’s made—none of them obvious. The idiosyncratic, glam-pop trailblazer who once rocked the meat dress claimed a whole new audience singing standards—and very much holding her own—beside the legendary Tony Bennett, snagging a Grammy. She had a riveting Oscars moment in 2016, performing “Til It Happens to You,” joined onstage by victims of sexual abuse. Then she made a splash as the vampiric lead on American Horror Story and earned a Golden Globe. In 2017 she offered one of the most satisfying Super Bowl halftime performances in recent memory. Now, with Star, she combines her superb singing with an acting performance that is an odds-on favorite for an Oscar.

Clearly, no matter what field Gaga competes on, she’s a champion.

Top 5 in the UK should be on lock. She wasnt #1 on iTunes at the start of the tracking week right? Plus streaming is increasing.

Not at the very beginning, no.
