Rogue Nation should do fine. Probably the last true blockbuster of the summer. Terrible reviews should kill Vacation, which seemed a few months ago like it had sleeper potential. It probably would have been smarter to have gone with a broad PG-13 comedy instead of a raunchy R-rated one. Among the holdovers, Pixels bombed. Might be time for Adam Sandler to hang up his over-budgeted keg parties, err, "movies". Southpaw performed decently, at least relatively to its cost. It has a great cinemascore grade, so it might show some legs.
