This weekend saw the premiere of Warner Bros.’ “DC League of Super-Pets”. The first animated DC film since “The Lego Batman Movie” focuses on the heroes’ super-powered pets for the first time ever, primarily Superman’s (John Krasinski) dog Krypto (Dwayne Johnson). When the Man of Steel and the rest of the Justice League get kidnapped by Lex Luthor (Marc Maron), Krypto rallies together a motley crew of animals to rescue the team of superheroes. “DC League of Super-Pets” has been met with mostly positive reviews from critics, and grossed in the low end of projected opening weekend performance.
Coming in at number two was Jordan Peele’s sci-fi horror film “Nope”, which experienced a sharp 58% decline compared to its premiere last week. Recent news broke that the movie will be available to stream on demand within the next month.
