It’s going to be stiff competition when your three wide releases are all targeting different demographics. Romantics will be heading out to The Best of Me, men will be heading to Fury and families will be off to see The Book of Life. In the end, the film most on Oscar’s radar will probably be the one to triumph.
Individual Commentaries
Wesley Lovell: It’s hard to pick just one or two titles this week as there are a number of prominent possibilities.
Peter J. Patrick: Birdman and Fury arrive, no doubt adding to their Oscar buzz. The Book of Life could be an animation sleeper.
Tripp Burton: Birdman is one of the most anticipated films of the year, and comes out in a weekend where nothing else looks too decent, so it should be an easy choice if it’s playing anywhere near you.
Thomas LaTourrette: I am intrigued to see the much talked about Birdman, though somehow I can’t imagine it living up to its hype. Other than that, there is surprisingly something for everyone.
