Reel Take

Mondays: what won the weekend — and whether it deserved to.

Files a Monday-morning wrap of what topped the U.S. weekend box office and a single critical take on whether it deserved to. Reel Take names the winner, names the take (which isn't always the winner), and surfaces the weekend's breakout and disappointment in two short lines. Spoiler-free; worth-the-price calls explicit. The Monday film desk a moviegoer wishes their group chat actually had.
