This weekend is the last chance for several players to see their movies sneak into the Top 10. If you’re not already sick of the superhero genre we’ve got Blue Beetle (selected by 1 player). If you’re into raunchy humor with talking animals we’ve got Strays (selected by 3 players). Who knows what the latter could have done with its original June release date.
With only 2 weekends remaining and a Top 10 cutoff around $151M, all these new movies need is a $75M opening and they’re golden! Miracles can happen.
