The great non story of Ryan Reynolds vs. wife Blake Lively at the box office has taken its expected turn.
“Deadpool and Wolverine” turned out to be a more compelling couple than the domestic partners in “It Ends with Us.”
The former movie regained its footing and $29 million over the weekend. The domestic total stands at $545.8 million.
The latter offering made a decent $24 million, and has banked $97 million.
But “D&W” only fell 46% from last weekend. “Ends” is down 52%. While it will hit the $100 million mark on Monday, we’ve reached the point of diminishing returns. There are no Easter eggs in “Ends,” an no post-credit scene. The trail off has begun.
Meantime, “Alien Romulus” finished at number 1 with $41 million. God bless.
The box office is otherwise as empty as Trump’s rapidly balding crowds.
Next up is “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” about which I’m hearing mixed things. I was so psyched over for it, and still am. But Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton don’t seem to be doing advance press, for myriad reasons. They may know something we don’t.
To be continued…
