8/30 – Just realized that the weekend preview didn’t post before I went out of town. Now posted 🙂
Our final weekend of the SMP has 5 new Wide releases, with only Coyote vs. ACME being selected (1 player). Coyote is getting fantastic reviews but is only projected at $12M. A low weekend overall is not a surprise for the late-August dumping ground.
