Continuing the trend for Marvel, Thor Love and Thunder had the best opening weekend for a Thor film ever. Not that that meant that people were enjoying it. Eventually the sloppier ever-increasing franchises from Marvel will catch up to them but for now, people are still showing up like each one is a must-see event, regardless of word of mouth.

The Spanish comedy Official Competition is about to hit half a million. That's a big deal given today's attendance free arthouses! A milion used to be a major "hit" mark for arthouses but we're thinking it's now $500,000. Fire of Love, the documentary that Glenn was recommending last week just opened and did decent business in 3 locations.
What did you see this week? We took in Thor Love and Thunder (even my Marvel fanatic bestie didnt like it! Uh-oh), caught up with Only Murders in the Building (the second season is even better!) and watched Leave Her to Heaven on Criterion as part of their "Noir in Color" program, while thinking about past brilliant pieces from Jason and Daniel right here at TFE discussing that film.
