The big turnout Thursday and Friday pushed the Blake Lively film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s romance with a side of abuse novel “It Ends with Us” pushed it over $23 million for the weekend.

The drama, also starring Justin Baldoni and Jenny Slate, rang up a $50 million opening weekend.

Maybe that wasn’t enough to dethrone the comic book bromance “Deadpool & Wolverine.” But as things look Sunday afternoon, it almost did. We’ll see the “actuals” on Monday afternoon, with “Deadpool & Wolverine” slated to earn over $54 at this point.

Reviews of “It Ends with Us” have been mixed (I caught it with a packed Friday afternoon crowd), but the fanbase for a book about an abused woman falling in love, but having the guts to “break the cycle” of abuse that hangs over her life is pretty enthusiastic. I, for one, was not surprised to see it clear $50.

“Borderlands” is bombing — $8.8 million. That shouldn’t worry Eli Roth. He keeps getting work, no matter how slapdash the scripts often are, no matter how ill-conceived most of what he commits to film outside of the horror genre turns out.

A real shame about Cate, Jamie Lee, Kevin Hart and Edgar Ramirez though.

Video game adaptations, amIright?

The new horror title “Cuckoo” is opening wider than you think, but still will only manage $3 million for Neon, still wallowing in “Longlegs” cash.

So it won’t rearrange the top five the way “It Ends with Us” will — with “Twisters” (another $15 million) ans “Despicable Me 4” ($8) now having most of the the family-friendly screens to itself) still in there, with “Inside Out 2” (just under $5) falling out and losing screens at the end of the summer.

“Trap?” M. Night Shyamalan’s make-work-project for his singer-actress daughter fell off just under 60% on its second weekend ($6.75) putting it just onder $30 million since opening.

“Harold and the Purple Crayon” has melted almost completely out of the picture — $3.1 million, a 50% drop week to week.
