This weekend in theaters, there is something for everyone.
The Fifty Shades of Grey sequel had a strong Friday night opening, as it took the lead with an estimated $21.5 million dollars. Yet LEGO Batman, which followed closely behind opening night with $15 million, had the stronger overall weekend performance as it lives outside of date night. John Wick: Chapter 2, sequel to a film which found much of its love after theaters, brought in an impressive $11 million on Friday – only $4 million less than the entire opening weekend of its predecessor.
