Ryan Reynolds' new family comedy, 'IF,' about imaginary friends, made its debut in theaters over the weekend, opening with an estimated $35 million in domestic ticket sales. Despite falling short of its projected $40 million opening, the PG-rated live-action and animated hybrid managed to draw audiences into theaters across 4,041 locations.
The film, directed by John Krasinski, features a storyline where a widowed father, played by Krasinski himself, sends his daughter to live with her grandmother while he undergoes a heart operation. The daughter, Bea, encounters Cal, played by Reynolds, who takes care of forgotten imaginary friends.
