'Hobbs and Shaw' Opens Strong as the Summer Blockbuster Season Ends

'Hobb and Shaw' is plenty stupid, but it also made plenty of money in its first weekend, earning $180 million around the world ahead of its Chinese opening in a few weeks. Though its budget is a hefty $200 million, it should benefit from limited blockbuster competition until September.

We're into the middle of August now, which means that we're hitting a weird middle ground between the summer and awards seasons. Many smaller and independent movies will come out in the next few weeks, but which will become successful? We discuss all this and more in this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!
