Looking at the Weekend: Oct. 11-13, 2013

Tom Hanks starring in Captain Phillips doesn’t guarantee it’s success, but word of mouth and relentless marketing may. Captain Phillips was initially slated to win the weekend easily against the grindhouse niche film Machete Kills. However, after the stellar debut of Gravity, it will need to do exceedingly well to top that.

Individual Commentaries

Wesley Lovell: Captain Phillips looks better in its second trailer than it did in its first, so it could be worth catching; however, for me, Escape from Tomorrow is the sole release this week I’m excited about.
Peter J. Patrick: Major fall releases continue with Captain Phillips making this the second decent movie week in a row in some time.
Tripp Burton: October is always an interesting mix of awards season and Halloween season, and this week is no difference. Overall, though, it looks to be a great weekend for moviegoing
