Another fantastic weekend of reviews for the new Wide releases, with a surprise projected winner in Weapons. This horror thriller was tracking 100% on RT Critics after the first 48 reviews and still has a very impressive 96%/94%/90% through this morning. Go see it (if you can handle the scares)! It’ll be a race between it and Freakier Friday (selected by 3 players) for that #10 spot, as $74M is very attainable with these projected openings.
