Weekend Impressions

Ocean’s 8 will be the Number One film at the box office over the weekend. The film has been getting good reviews, has name recognition, an all star cast, a few surprises, and momentum behind it (its coming out in the wake of Solo: A Star Wars Story third week of release). I have not seen any of the Ocean films after the first one but I have heard that they all have a certain charm. Ocean’s 8 looks as though it carries that torch forward.

Deadpool 2 will be Second at the box office this weekend. I would have said Solo: A Star Wars Story would be Second but the word-of-mouth on Solo is mixed. The word-of-mouth for Deadpool 2 is mostly positive and the two films were only separated by $6 Million last weekend at the box office.

Solo: A Star Wars Story will be Third at the box office this weekend. I have never seen a Star Wars film drop this fast at the box office. This is literally unprecedented. I feel bad for all of the people involved in Solo getting smeared with the backlash over Star Wars: The Last Wars but this is the situation Disney created by releasing Solo so close to The Last Jedi. At this rate, with the release of Incredibles 2 next weekend, Solo: A Star Wars Story may be out of the Top Five in another week. Two weeks max.

Hereditary will be Fourth at the box. In a big upset, Hereditary would open in Third Place this weekend. Hereditary has had a series of effective trailers released for the film and an intense tone was set by them. The reviews are strong and A Quiet Place‘s influence at the box office is dimming. Part of that audience will shift over this weekend to Hereditary.

Hotel Artemis will open in Fifth. Hotel Artemis takes the criminal world building of John Wick and centers it in a single room (hotel) drama.
