Success for the both the Lamb of God and the Bear of Blow augur well for films not based on existing IP \u2014 even if both movies are technically (<em>very <\/em>technically) based on true events.

Although the MCU Phase 5 kick-off film still topped the box office, and last week\u2019s opening broke <em>Ant-Man<\/em> records, its second week does not bode well. It\u2019s the biggest week-to-week drop in MCU history.
