Critics and audiences had vastly different reactions to “Where the Crawdads Sing,” which holds a bleak 36% on Rotten Tomatoes but a solid “A-” CinemaScore from moviegoers. With positive word-of-mouth, however, the movie has the potential to stand out to people who aren’t familiar with the best-selling book by Delia Owens.

After three weeks of release, the “Minions” sequel has remained the de facto choice for family audiences and has grossed $262 million to date.
