A Mistress Clowns Around

Two new films opened wide this weekend, though neither debuted on top.

“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” & “Joker” battle for the top spot as “Black and Blue” & “Countdown” battle for fifth

Next weekend is another busy one. Four new films open wide, while “The Lighthouse,” “Jojo Rabbit” and “Parasite” continue to expand. The sixth Terminator film, “Terminator: Dark Fate,” opens alongside the low-budget animated film “Artic Dogs,” along with Oscar hopefuls “Harriet” and “Motherless Brooklyn.”

Check back next week to see how “Dark Fate” compares to other “Terminator” openings and if “Joker” can make further progress towards becoming the top R rated domestic film of all-time.
