In the note
So, based on something I heard at a Tulsi Gabbard Vodka themed Luau, here’s my best take on the weekend Boxoffice. #1 Maleficent: Mistress of Evil - Sequels (non-Marvel division) are a tough racket these days; gone are the days you used to just remake the movie, throw a Roman numeral on the end of the title and reap the 30% increase in opening weekend.

In the note
Unfortunately, just like It Chapter 2, Rambo Last Blood, Gemini Man and Maleficent; it’s one more film that had a campaign that’s as good as you can ask for but will be looked at as a disappointment because tracking put out numbers that were way too high (more on this below).
