Apart from this being the last weekend in August, the upcoming Labor Day holiday means the studios are dumping everything they don’t suspect will be a hit into these remaining weeks. As such, the competition this week will be anemic with the little-advertised No Escape facing off against the teen-targeted We Are Your Friends. Neither have had particularly effective promotional campaigns and neither tackle subjects that would appeal to a broad demographic, further narrowing their potential audience.

Wesley Lovell (WL): There’s something off-putting about the trailer and I cannot get past the feeling that it’s not going to be nearly as good as a festival entry should be. |
