'Booksmart' AnnapurnaSony and Screen Gems released Brightburn over the holiday weekend to middling results. As such, a $7.535 million Fri-Sun/$9 million Fri-Mon debut isn’t a surprise. Even so, a $6.512 million Fri-Sun frame and a projected $8 million Fri-Mon debut weekend is not great.

Call Disney evil, but Fox’s entire 2018 slate of adult, star-driven, diverse and/or non-IP fare was mostly ignored last year.
