Comment on 'PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie' Beats 'Saw X,' 'The Creator' To Top Domestic Box Office

Saw it with my son, it’s Paw Patrol, so nothing ground-breaking, but he enjoyed it and it was his first time seeing a movie in the movie theater, so that was special.
I remember when I went with my father to the threate for the first, and I think only time, and he just took a nap five minutes in. Did the thing where I excitedly pointed at the screen only to find him slumbering away.
In retrospective he was an overworked working class man with no interest in a kids movie, so I kinda get it. But as a kid I was really cross with him doing that.
I don’t actually even remember what my first movie was I saw in the theater. Maybe Transformers: The Movie (the cartoon movie)? I would’ve been about the same age, 5 years old, but that movie was just in a completely different league than Paw Patrol.
Same thing happened when my grandpa took me to go see Transformers: The Movie in the theater. It wasn’t my first movie, but I think it was my first with him, and I was beyond excited for it. I was a little disappointed to look over and see him sleeping five minutes in, but I didn’t really mind that much. I think even back then I was like, “Yeah, I understand.”
I’m sure the movie was completely incoherent to him. Robot toys fighting a planet-sized robot toy… yeah, time for a nap.
I was JUST thinking about taking my son to see it for his first theater film. Guess that settles it
