Pretty good! But what if we had been to interrupt the foundations and evaluate it in opposition to films launched on a Friday this yr? Where does it stack up? Somewhere proper within the center, which, given it had an additional day (Netflix’s numbers run by means of Sunday), might be considered as a bit of disappointing.

Season 2 of With Love, Meghan didn’t come out of the gate swinging this week.
