Deadpool 2 opened huge even if it didn't repeat the critical enthusiasm on its sophomore go. Book Club was a wholly different option from the superheroes... though perhaps one of the female comedy counterprogrammers this spring/summer (we've had a number of them: Tully, I Feel Pretty, Overboard, Life of the Party !) would have struck more gold if there hadn't been a new one each week. Not that we're complaining about female leads. Book Club isn't great but it's fun and no one from its legendary quartet is phoning it in.
Meanwhile at the art house Disobedience and RBG repeat their dominance while First Reformed starring Ethan Hawke (which seemed to have debuted at festival ages ago, right?) opens to solid box office to go with its extremely strong reviews. What did you see this week?
