The Clint Eastwood biopic Sully biopic landed at number one at the box office this weekend (see what we did there?) with America’s favorite actor Tom Hanks starring as America’s favorite pilot Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. Meanwhile, the poorly reviewed “we barely heard of it” thriller When the Bough Breaks came in at a distant second.
