We do have a couple of kids out of school today (25%) so some of the films catering to that demo are up today, but overall it’s just going to be another so so weekend. I’m going to dive into the ‘just kill me now’ scenario I talked about Wednesday (and this will bore the shit out of a lot of you), and take a hard look into the openings of One Love and Madame Web, but let me make something perfectly clear; this is analysis, not judgement.

And the next time might be a little less niche-y and might wander towards broad, which would be a win for the whole business. Anyway, with the expected accuracy of a NRA expense account, here are some thoughts on the weekend box-office. Bob Marley: One Love - Following up on my rant about Wednesday openings last week, the 2nd weekend is another way to understand if non-Friday openings are a good idea.
