Trust is a delicate and intricate aspect of relationships. Paradoxically, the more readily and easily we grant our trust, the harder it becomes to rebuild once it’s been broken. It’s particularly painful when the people we hold closest to our hearts, whom we deeply love, end up hurting us. The intensity of our affection might blind us to their actions, preventing us from recognizing the harm they inflict upon us. However, there may come a moment when we finally realize the extent of the damage, and at that point, our world may feel as though it’s crumbling down around us. Despite the devastation, it’s important to remember that it’s never too late to start anew, to rebuild our lives and relationships once again.
The film A Lot Like Love explores similar themes of trust and betrayal through the story of Fanna, the daughter of a wealthy businessman named Alhaji.

“Thor: Ragnarok” (Disney) repeated at #1 its second weekend, but was joined by “Daddy’s Home 2” (Paramount) and the remake of “Murder on the Orient Express” (Paramount) as strong performers. And “A Bad Moms Christmas” (Stx) had a strong hold to add to the good news.
But otherwise it was more famine than feast. #5-10 combined only grossed $11 million. Last year’s #5 (a holdover) grossed nearly that much by itself. The lingering effects of a weak October continue to affect the overall results. Initial estimates show total business this weekend down around six per cent from the same weekend last year.
The two new entries both fall into the realm of mid-budget (between $50-75 million) titles that have been so problematic of late. Both came in several million or more above the $20 million or close estimates, with both now in range to be make money, though each has a different path to reach that.

For the second straight weekend, a strongly reviewed new film with a central female character broke through the clutter of this mixed fall season to great success. “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” (Fox Searchlight) joined “Lady Bird” (A24) as the best starts among the many top titles vying for attention, and both did so by a wide margin above other films. “Lady Bird” added other top cities and proved its first week was no fluke, showing results unequaled since “La La Land” last year.
The grosses in both cases are early results, but the films look in prime position for both greater success and maximum attention just as the awards jockeying is reaching high gear. And given that both are female-centered, and not historical figure-based like so many other titles, makes them even more vital at the moment.
