It's another solid entry in the ratings department this week with two more wide releases to contend with. On the box office side of things, Tom Holland proves he doesn't have to be a superhero to top the weekend as Uncharted weathered drab critic reviews and wowed audiences enough to score the biggest opening of 2022. Also scoring decent was Channing Tatum's Dog - which joins the pantheon of …

And emerging as the winner was a group of friends who put their bodies - and humility - on the line as the Jackass crew took top honors. While that crew could celebrate the same couldn't be said of Roland Emmerich and Moonfall, which had an opening that could only be described as disastrous. Meanwhile, once again, …

With no new wide releases, the box office looked e.xactly the same - just with lesser returns - leading to one of the lowest-grossing weekends in recent memory. Meanwhile, with just a single new wide release across the MPAA Bulletin - that is likewise a bit of a yawner. We're just going to have to see if …
