Brad Pitt's 'F1' racing movie leads the box office with a strong opening day, while 'M3GAN 2.0' disappoints debuting way below the original.

Both “F1” and “M3GAN 2.0” don’t live up to critics’ hopes, but they’re still escapist fare needed more and more these days.

Reviews for the movie are also very strong with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 84% critics and an early audience score of 97%. Word-of-mouth for “F1” is expected to be very strong, which could help it leg out as an alternative to superhero movies like “Superman” in the weeks ahead.
