This final weekend of July is only about one thing: Deadpool & Wolverine (picked by everyone here) and a projected $184M(!) opening. It doesn’t matter that there is another (barely) Wide release with some of the worst reviews of the summer. I suppose some of that review negativity has carried over to the big boy, as the RT Top Critics are evidently not fans of D&W. That’s fine, they’re not people I’d want to hang out with anyway.
If you’ve seen it or will be seeing it soon, chime in on the Home Page chat and let us know your thoughts (no spoilers!).
