Plus, Tiffany Haddish had the Netflix animated series Tuca & Bertie that got cancelled after the first season due to low viewership. She deserves much better.

Tuca & Bertie was really funny, could've been as good as BoJack Horseman if it was allowed to grow (and Netflix promoted it properly). Shame it got canned.

Have you seen the movie? Cause that's definitely not in the movie lol

From what I’ve read, the movie criticizes toxic masculinity far more than embracing it. The age of the kids has a lot to do with that, because they simply aren’t old enough to indulge in what they’re being exposed to.

 

That all seemed obvious from the trailer, too. One of the main reasons I wanted to see it, so I am glad the reviews came in strongly.

Late August is typically one of the slowest BO periods of the year. Theres just not that much to discuss.

No late night deadline updates, no insider numbers either.

But I guess that's fine every now and then.

 

Let the official Saturday morning numbers have their day in the sun every so often.

2019 is officially the worst year in history for comedies.

 

The year's best performing comedy only opens to 20m.

They made an Angry Birds 2?

Is (R-)comedy the next extincted genre after rom-com?
