The HiT List: ‘Keanu’ Runs Out of Lives

“Keanu,” powered by the comedy team of Key & Peele, underwhelmed at the box office over the weekend. The soft projections had the R-rated comedy coming in at $10 million. It actually generated just $9 million.

Some outlets, like Deadline.com are already spinning on Key & Peele’s behalf. The bigger mystery remains. Why would a duo known for comedy soaked in social commentary bank on a cute kitty movie as their breakout vehicle?
