The comedy fantasy IF, directed by John Krasinski and starring Ryan Reynolds, opened in first at the weekend box office with $35 million. Reviews have been mixed. The Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus says, “A sweet ode to rediscovering one’s inner child, IF largely works as old-fashioned family entertainment despite an occasionally unfocused and unnecessarily complicated plot.”
Last week’s top movie, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, drops to second with $26 million. The sequel has made $101.2 million.
The Strangers: Chapter 1 debuted in third with a better-than-expected $12 million.
The Fall Guy dropped from second to fourth with $8.5 million, and Challengers was fifth with $2.9 million.
