There’s only one new release this weekend and it’s a horror film. The last such film didn’t do much at the box office, but this is a fairly well known franchise, so it will do well, but can it top the fourth weekend of the Hobbit or the second weekends of Les Misérables or Django Unchained.

Individual Commentaries

Wesley Lovell: The first few weeks of a new year are always filled with the dregs of the cineplex and seldom am I interested in making my way out to them.
Peter J. Patrick: Ah, January, the month when Hollywood traditionally dumps its leftovers on film-goers. Time to catch up on the major year-end releases you haven’t seen.
Tripp Burton: As we hit January, we get the dregs of studio releases. It’s a good time to catch up on all the holiday Oscar contenders.
