Mean Girls (2024) has broken the box office opening record set by the original 2004 movie of the same name. The new movie musical, which was written by original Mean Girls screenwriter Tina Fey, is an adaptation of the 2018 Broadway musical based on the 2004 movie, which Fey also wrote, alongside composer Jeff Richmond and lyricist Nell Benjamin. It follows transfer student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) attempting to fit in at school and trying to help bring down the trio of bullying girls known as the Plastics, led by Queen Bee Regina George (Renée Rapp).
