It’s the middle of summer, everyone is on vacation, Matt included which is why you get my hideous face doing the box office recap. With most of the major summer blockbusters behind us, we are now in that weird part summer where studios release more risky ventures that still have the potential for wide appeal. While most of these releases are stinkers, there’s gold to be had in these hills, you just need to know where to look.
Gold this week came from Denzel Washington and Antoine Fuqua reuniting once again for The Equalizer 2, which managed to edge out the sequel no one asked for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again by a mere 1.5 million dollars. Coming in at 35.8 million dollars, The Equalizer 2 is the lowest premiere to top the box office this summer but still managed to outperform the original’s debut. Mamma Mia 2 ABBA Boogaloo meanwhile came in under budget at 34.4 million which begs the question, why was this movie made?
