"But I'm going to go ahead and call this an Elle Fanning achievement, as she plays two characters, including the female lead. Plus it allows me to mention that this is Fanning's fourth movie to open at no. 1, after Super 8, Maleficent, and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. Badlands ' $40 million opening is the best opening-weekend tally since the MFL season kicked off. Combined with the bonus points for finishing the weekend at no. 1 and clearing the $25 million threshold,"
"In second place and showing remarkable staying power (dropping less than 9% from last weekend) is Regretting You, the Allison Williams-starring romantic drama from the author of It Ends with Us. (I'm crediting the film to Allison in the hopes of stoking a rivalry between her and Elle). With $38 million cumulatively after three weeks, it's motoring towards that $50 million threshold bonus, while teaching a valuable lesson about drafting Colleen Hoover book adaptations in the future."
Predator: Badlands opened at number one with a $40 million weekend, marking the best opening-weekend tally since the MFL season began and earning 70 points for the 1,443 people who drafted it. Elle Fanning plays two characters, including the female lead, and this marks her fourth film to open at number one. Regretting You held strong with under 9% drop and $38 million cumulative after three weeks, approaching a $50 million bonus. Black Phone 2, Tron: Ares and One Battle After Another sit near $70–71 million and chase a $75 million, 15-point bonus. Notable debuts include the Russell Crowe–Rami Malek drama Nuremberg and an Amazon-MGM biopic.
