Just to correct an earlier assessment, made on Friday, “Furiosa” is actually not going to finish in second place at the box-office this weekend. Rather, George Miller’s film, which earned $10.5M, has been bested by two films: “Garfield” ($14M) and “IF” ($10.8M). Overall, a very bad weekend for theatrical and I bet many exhibitors are counting the days until “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” opens on Friday.
The ‘Smile’ franchise has a new director. David Bruckner, who made “The Night House” and the 2022 “Hellraiser” reboot, has been hired to direct “Smile 3” for Paramount.
