Since the last post about this got deleted because it contained a X screenshot, hopefully this one actually stays for comment.

And it was still first place at the box office

Gotta go see it to know it's bad...also looking at the box office I don't even really know these other movies. Verity, Heart of the Beast, Social Reckoning? I know Resident Evil but didn't know they had a new movie. Did any of those do any marketing?

Verity is basically an arthouse erotic thriller that got a wide release because of who was involved in making it—it's already earned 3x its budget.

Hear of the Beast is a Brad Pitt vehicle about a retired special forces veteran that is in a plane crash with his dog, and they have to hike to civilization together.

Social Reckoning is about the whistleblower leaking a bunch of internal Facebook memos about how evil they are.

Resident Evil is from Zach Creggor (dfirector of Barbarian and Weapons) and has had some pretty hefty marketing. It's an awesome film.

I've seen advertising for all of these just watching sports. Maybe even all for baseball at that.

Probably won’t last long at the top with the Street Fighter movie and Whalefall in theatres this week.

Did it have any competition?

Tbf my wife and I looked into possibly seeing a movie this weekend and there were 3-4 options that all sucked.
