Props to Universal for putting its faith in fresh ideas. “Good Boys” became the first original comedy to top the domestic box office in three years.

“Annabelle Comes Home” pulled off promising ticket sales, but “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” flamed out and “Pokemon: Detective Pickachu” was a modest hit, at best. Both films hail from Legendary, the production company that Warner Bros. recently lured over from Universal. Obviously, things could have gotten off to a smoother start. “Shaft,” a sequel no one asked for, flopped and probably never should have been made in the first place.
