Labor Day has passed, and the box office is cold to the touch.
The only hit movie playing this weekend is “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.” The long awaited sequel to “Beetlejuice” has about $136 million in the bank. Another $15 million may come in over the weekend.
Otherwise the box office is dry and arid with tumbleweeds named “Reagan” and “It Ends with Us” blowing though the popcorn stands.
What are we waiting for? Next Thursday comes a new “Transformers” movie and Demi Moore in “The Substance.” The latter is a horror film with a great performance by Moore — her best work ever. It starts out like a social satire and ends up like something from Guillermo del Toro.
And on we trod…
