Hugh Jackman is really a secondary character in Chappie, so the film will have to soar on its own. Unfortunately, reviews haven’t been kind. Turns out Neill Blomkamp is a one-hit-wonder. Chappie won’t go above 20M due to poor reviews. Focus will hold better than expected due to Chappie’s failure. Unfinished Business is also getting crap reviews, but it still could do moderately well. Kingsman and Spongebob will both have good holds. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is the sequel no one asked for, with so-so reviews, and in a wide release (but not super wide).
