I'd have said four or five! Not that I think about it often (other than when the admittedly catchy songs get stuck in my head). Regardless, Here We Go Again is the story of Amanda Seyfried getting knocked up a notch by a man who leaves her, so she needs to get cheered up by time traveling to the '70s to watch her Mom Meryl Streep (errr, Lily James) likewise get knocked up by a young Pierce Brosnan (or possibly two other men, who knows). Inspirational stuff! I'd say 10 years is way too long between entries but female moviegoers are going to be starved for entertainment this Summer, as we've covered a few times already, and musicals are some of the safest bets at the box office these days. I'm betting this still puts up a very respectable number, though it probably doesn't match the original's success.

Oh, they've all been personal? Okay, this time, it's impersonal. I don't know how much there is to say about Fallout other than that I absolutely LOVE this trailer (especially when the remixed theme song kicks in) and that the last two entries in this series have been downright delightful and I'd happily watch another six. The rest of the world seems to be in agreement based on the box office tallies, so here's to predicting more of the same aka another 200+ showing for this unkillable franchise!

Fever dream, severe mental trauma, an unhinged psychotic break? Oh, bother! I joke, but Disney's animated-films-turned-live-action-for-no-good-reason genre has been one of their best decisions ever from a purely business standpoint. Everyone saw Beauty & The Beast go nuts a year ago but even their second tier titles like Cinderella and Maleficent have made serious bank. And of course we'd be fools to disregard Seth MacFarlane's trailblazing role in this area- clearly talking teddy bears are as sure a sign of an upcoming box office bonanza as insanity!
