The 17-day figure means that films released on a Friday will play exclusively in theaters for three weekends, which is when a movie makes most of its theatrical revenue anyway....

Why Him?begins with a Netflix and chill Facetime request whereinJames Franco’s pubic hair is shown for a long enough time that you know he’s not going to go any further in disrobing.
