The box office has been quite hot for the past several weeks, and while 4 new movies hit this weekend the critics are not being kind to any of them other than the one nobody picked (Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris) . Where the Crawdads Sing is sitting at a very surprising 34%, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is at 50%, and The Gray Man (getting a Limited run before airing on Netflix) is only at 52%. But hey, the audience likes them all. Nothing new is expected to do better than $16M. And heads up… Thor 4 is looking at a potential 65% drop. Ouch.
