David O. Russell’s star-studded 1930s mystery Amsterdam flopped, and the children’s book adaptation Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile debuted softly, allowing the horror thriller Smile to repeat atop the box office in US and Canada theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. Neither new release caught fire with moviegoers, the AP reports, but the disappointment was more acute for Amsterdam, a poorly reviewed $80 million screwball romp starring Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington.
