It was a hit this weekend, setting records in September with $117 million. After the big summer slump in August, this was a much-needed boost.

It's good to know we finally got an adaption (reboot?) of a well known thing that didn't suck. Also, glad to know it hasn't been underperforming like pretty much every other movie this year. I wonder if Mike from Stranger Things will ever be on anything that isn't some variation on The Goonies.

FRIEND REQUEST? Hadn't heard of that one yet . . . lemme guess, another attempt to make an aspect of social media into an hour-and-a-half story like THE EMOJI MOVIE?

September continues strong with Kingsman 2 leading the pack, It still clinging on to 2nd, and the Lego Ninjago movie rounding out the 3rd, though with the lowest U.S. opening so far -- only a 3rd of what The Lego Movie opened with.

Meanwhile, Friend Request bombed at 7th place. A killer clown really is more interesting than killer social media.

Eh, there are so many Stephen King stories, these movies are probably already in the works.
