It could be another week at the top of the charts for Split as this weekend’s new releases don’t seem like they’ll have a lot of teeth. Fighting it out for the top of the new releases will be A Dog’s Purpose and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter with Gold opening low in the top ten or out of it altogether. I give the edge to the more family-friendly A Dog’s Purpose, though the PETA-fueled controversy over a single incident during the film’s production months ago was brought forward at the last minute to try and torpedo the film. The film’s writer and producer both took the video to task for its delay and attempted to explain the situation, but it may be too late and if the film under performs, it will be thanks in large part to that.

Wesley Lovell (WL): The film’s writer had very interesting things to say about the video that cropped up recently. I’m not sure I want to see the film still, but I’m less likely to boycott it at this juncture as a result of his rational commentary. |
