Snore. That’s the state of our new releases this weekend, but really, no one expected otherwise. This was where studios sent their movies to die quick deaths before Beetlejuice Beetlejuice brings the box office back to life next week. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Our number one movie—yet again—is Deadpool and Wolverine. Come tomorrow, the Marvel extravaganza will have surpassed $600 million. That gives Disney two blockbusters to pass that milestone in the same summer, and incidentally, Inside Out 2 is now the ninth biggest movie of all time worldwide. Again, we can credit a lack of competition for this over-performing, and even then I’m confused by how this one was so big.

And now onto our new releases. Like it or not, our “winner” of the lot is Reagan. From what I’ve heard, this is comparative to The Babe Ruth Story in terms of how much it idolizes its subject, and that shouldn’t shock anyone when you consider that Kevin Sorbo is in this as the man who baptizes Ronald Reagan. I will say that casting Dennis Quaid as the title character makes more sense than the late Alan Rickman, and why the hell was that a thing that happened?

The only other newcomer to make the top ten (seriously, you would never know that we actually had four wide releases this weekend) is AfrAId. Ugh. I hated even typing that stupid title. This one is about an AI home security system that becomes evil, and wait a minute, this was the plot of Disney Channel’s Smart House! AfrAId was dead on arrival, continuing Blumhouse’s rough year, but hopefully that’ll change when Speak No Evil comes out in a couple of weeks.

Outside of the top ten, we have 1992. A heist film set against the backdrop of the Rodney King riots, you can tell this one has been shelved for literal years because it stars Ray Liotta, who died back in 2022. Also, something called Slingshot opened. I never saw so much as a single online ad for it.
