But instead we have a (very talented and like the rest of the cast is terrific in the movie) guy who’s known mostly for Crown Royal commercials. The whole point of all this is, there are no elements to this package that warrant a $30+ million opening, and the elements of this package look up at the basic elements of another loved movie Musical, The Greatest Showman. And that opened to….$8.8 million.

We already know she’s smart because she realized Zendaya is a waaaay better Movie Star name than Zendaya Coleman, and of course the luck part kicked in when Greatest Showman kept going and going.
