You’d think Dev Patel’s Indian outing as a Subcontinental “John Wick” would be the fanboy film of the month, with epic action, bloody brawls and a wicked, droll humor levening it’s almost non stop beat downs.

Good reviews, great word of mouth, a popular Anglo Indian star and director, you’d think “Monkey Man” would blow up the box office. But I guess fanboys are as afraid of a few subtitles as everybody else.

“Godzilla x Kong: A New Empire” proves  they’ll show up with anything that has “Empire” in the title. Its digital monster mashing its way to a $31.7 million second weekend and an easy win at the box office.

Based on a so so Thursday night and a half decent  Friday and middling Sat. and Sunday, “Monkey Man” will manage only $10.1 or so.

What the hell? Get online, order your tickets and change that outcome, kids. It’s good and there aren’t that many subtitles, you big babies.

This “Ghostbusters” sequel has “Empire” in the title which means the lemmings are still showing up. Another $9 million or so this weekend.

“The First Omen” earned more generous reviews than mine, by and large. It’s considered and quasi-arty and not awful — very good cast and a top drawer performance by Nell Tiger Free from “Game of Thrones.” But it’s frightfully dull, and yet that “Omen” franchise tag means it is opening at twice what Neon’s bomb of a nun in horror peril thriller “Immaculate” managed –$8.3 million. “Omen” took away “Immaculate” screens. Sorry Sydney.

“Kung Fu Panda 4” is still fishing and serving to the tune of $7.85 million, although it has  limited release animated competition (“Epic Tails?”) this weekend. Title I’ve never heard of.
