"Who took home the number one spot, and who need a session to get those numbers higher in this week's highs and downers"


The Friday the 13th weekend has come to a close, and now its time to see which movie had good or bad luck. With Rampage and Truth or Dare coming out this weekend, could the good word of mouth keep a quite place at Number One or did a newcomer steal that coveted spot. And a spoiler with some sad news black Panther finally fell out the top 5.

Box Office Results (Domestic US Numbers)

1. Rampage- 34.5M
2. AQuiet Place- 32.6M
3. Truth or Dare - 19M
4. Ready Player One- 11.2M
5. Blockers - 10.2M

Highs

A Quiet Place

Well, I guess people just could stay quiet about A Quiet Place as it showed this weekend it has some legs. In its second weekend making 32.6M, it managed to almost take the number one spot again against some pretty good competition. I don't blame people I personally sparked up again and went to see this in theaters one more time and had just as much fun with it the second time around. If you have not seen this movie I highly suggest you do, just remember, shhhhhh.

Truth or Dare

Although the movie was a downer to watch, Truth or Dare manages to do pretty well for itself in the box office. It isn't too hard for Jason Blum to break even on his movies and Truth or Dare was no different. The movie made 19M in its opening weekend, and with a budget of around 3 Mil its wasn't hard to earn its money back. The Friday 13th weekend helped this movie a lot, but I'm sure come next week the truth that this movie is no good will come out, and it might be on this list for another reason.



Downers 

Rampage 

It's sad to think that a movie starring Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson would be a downer in the box office, but when you look at Rampage you have to put it down here. With The Rock being fresh off of a box office monster in Jumanji, WB was hoping for some of that to rub off on their giant monster movie, but Rampage barely managed to come in at number one making 34.5 mil. A big blockbuster with a huge star barely beating a second-weekend movie is not a good sign, and with very strong competion coming in the next weeks this movie is gonna have to rampage the foreign markets if it wants to make its budget back.

Unsane Movie Review

The horror thriller that was shot completely on an iPhone, hopefully, it's not as cheap as it looks. Unsane is the latest movie by Steven Soderbergh that was shot completely on an iPhone camera (and probably some software we cant afford). The movie Stars Claire Foy as Sawyer who is paranoid that her stalker is still following her, but when she tries to get help get locked into a mental institute, now if you don't need a blunt after a day like that.  Could you tell it was on an iPhone? I mean it was shot on an iPhone 7 plus, of course, you can tell it was shot on an iPhone. as soon as I saw the trailer I could tell that it was just someone shooting on the iPhone it looks like a straight to CW film, but it was impressive how good Soderbergh could make it work though. I can't even get a good 30 second snap from my iPhone, but his ass can make a feature film and get it nationally released with his.  If only I had that kinda talent, but anyways, Soghher made a big de

Ready Player One - 25 Mil 3. Blockers- 21.4 Mil 4.  Black Panther- 8.4 Mil 5. I Can Only Imagine- 8.3 Mil (For full results visit  Box Office Mojo ) Highs  A Quiet Place  No surprise as one of the best films of the year has taken the number one spot with a whopping 50 mil during its opening weekend, not bad for a borderline silent film. The movie had everything you could ask for in a horror film great story, great characters, and pretty good scares. This film is definitely a high you need to experience, but remember to stay quiet. Blockers For a comedy that I didn't think was gonna be too funny, it exceeded my expectations and did pretty good for itself in the box office making 21.4 mil its opening weekend against some pretty good movies. I personally liked the

"All of this week's trailers rolled into one joint" Every week we get flooded with trailer, some good and some bad.  Its hard to keep up with all of them, so we thought we'd help you out by at least letting you see the ones worth watching. Here are 5 of the latest most talked about trailers that dropped this past week all rolled up into one joint. The Happy Time Murders  Release Date: August 17,2018 The Happy Time Murders stars Melissa McCarthy as a police officer who is tasked to solve a string of puppet murders, who are basically a second class race. Although this movie features puppets it is definitely not something you want to take your kids to see. I didn't really have much interest in this movie until I saw this trailer and couldnt stop laughing. it is just, the first trailer, but if this is what we can expect I think ill have a good time getting blazed and going to see this movie.  Mowgli  Release: October 19, 2018 No, I'
