Sherlock has fairly funny trailers and there hasn't been an animated film in quite some time. This is opening at the right time just like the first did.

A lot of bombs coming this weekend.

PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING - 20.18 MILLION
SHERLOCK GNOMES - 20.088 MILLION
MIDNIGHT SUN - 4.072 MILLION
PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST - 3.825 MILLION
UNSANE - 3 MILLION

I'm actually very surprised that Unsane is opening wide (which, according to BOM, it is) in the first place. It just doesn't seem like that sort of film to me.

And this is going to make me sound like a total jerk, but I think it looks too smart for a wide, general audience. Also, for as good as Claire Foy is, she just isn't much of a draw from what I can tell.
