The R-rated farce “Neighbors” did well enough with the critics, considering its director’s track record. At the box office? It’s a smash, $45-48 million and climbing, far exceeding any notion that it wouldn’t open in “Bridesmaids” territory. Another Seth Rogen hit, a much-needed bust-out for Zac Efron.
The middling “Spider-Man” lost about 60% of its opening weekend oomph, maybe more. Saturday’s numbers will tell
“Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return” will be lucky to manage $4 million. Indian animators, vast numbers of investors, a decent voice cast. A deathly dull script cursed this one. Terrible reviews.
“Moms’ Night Out” doesn’t hit the faith-based angle hard enough to get that endorsement from the pulpit thing it needed to join the other faith-based hits this year. Some laughs would have helped.
