Horror films typically drop faster at the box office than most films, which should give Dwayne Johnson’s monster movie Rampage a free shot at the box office. Of course, A Quiet Place may not play like other horror films and could slip much less steeply with solid word of mouth. That might make the competition a bit more fierce, making it tougher for Rampage to hit the top, thought it probably still will. The rest of the weekend’s new releases aren’t likely to outperform meager expectations.

Wesley Lovell (WL): If this were solely Bjorn Borg’s story, I could see a compelling film emerging, but the John McEnroe element seems a bit sensationalistic to be good. |

Wesley Lovell (WL): With only a couple of modestly funny one-liners in the trailer, the only things really keeping me interested in this film are Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Joe Manganiello. |
