Dog days are here! Man, the studios really should've bumped something to this month. Maybe Kong: Skull Island should've been saved for this? The Dark Tower is likely a huge flop, reviews are expected to be bad. Detroit might do fine, but it's from a new distributor and I'm doubting word of mouth will be strong. Kidnap's biggest advantage is that 47 Meters Down surprised with a similar release trajectory (supposed to open a year ago, almost went direct to home viewing, picked up by brand new distributor). So who knows? The Call proved Halle should stick with B-thrillers. An Inconvenient Sequel expands to 100-ish locations.
