Hot This Week: August 19

As the kids get ready to head back to school, the live-action Pokemon movie takes top honors on this week's movie list. The soundtrack to the latest Descendants movie is the top debut in music, and a new single propels Tool's classic album Aenima onto the chart 23 years after its release. New novels from James Patterson and Ruth Ware are the top debuts in fiction, while Toni Morrison's passing spurs interest in her recent essay collection.
