Ryan Reynolds' new movie "IF" must have a lot of imaginary friends in the crowd 'cause it's tanking at the box office despite the star-studded cast. Deadline reports the movie made just $10.3 million on Friday -- including previews -- and, it's…
The traffic stop started off calmly. Two Fontana police officers pulled over a black sport utility vehicle in Yucaipa, and a male officer asked the driver about what appeared to be a missing front license plate. They chatted about camping in the snow — the vehicle had overland camping gear affixed to it — and the officer chuckled when the man said he had previously been arrested for having illegal fireworks.

We don’t know what the exact GDP of the Kingdom Of The Planet Apes is—let alone its various imports, exports, and stances on inter-primate tariffs—but its economic fortunes are certainly looking rosy this weekend: Variety reports that the film, directed by Maze Runner escapee Wes Ball, is on track to make at least $52 million in its opening week in theater, putting it right in line with previous installments in the well-performing franchise.

John Krasinski’s IF is somehow both a winner and a loser at the weekend box office. Sure, it was the #1 movie in theaters this past weekend, but it also came up a few million short of projections. The film was expected to make $40 million and only raked in $35 million domestically, according to Variety. IF’s worldwide box office total came to $55 million, about half of the movie’s $110 million budget (and that doesn’t include marketing costs). It’s really not a bad showing for an original...
