As Thanksgiving becomes a memory, December releases begin taking a stronger interest in box office success. With numerous likely huge films coming out later in the month, it’s a bit surprising that this weekend sees only a single release. Just Getting Started is the latest in a series of similar films that put big name older actors into situations that appeal primarily to older audiences. The attempt is clear, bring these folk to the box office and make money. Yet, in recent years, such films have been struggling. The question here is whether Just Getting Started can top the second weekend of Coco. I suspect the answer will be no.

Wesley Lovell (WL): Having watched the Olympics match between Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding, this period of history is familiar to me, so I’m curious if it plays out much as I remember. |

Wesley Lovell (WL): When you watch a trailer for a film and then later you can’t remember a thing about it, the trailer may have failed to accomplish its goal. |
