Looking at the Weekend: Oct. 18-20, 2013

You don’t remake one of the most acclaimed horror films of all time only to expect a flop. Positioned as the only horror film on the horizon for Halloween, Carrie should easily pull in strong dollars for the next couple of weeks as date night and Halloween parties turn to their annual fright-fix. The Fifth Estate is likely to finish outside the top ten while Escape Plan hopes only to not embarrass itself.

Individual Commentaries

Wesley Lovell: I don’t have much of a desire to see any of the week’s new releases, but 12 Years a Slave, All Is Lost and Kill Your Darlings should be worthwhile films to see.
Peter J. Patrick: Oscar, Oscar, will we have seen this year’s Oscar winner by week’s end?
Tripp Burton: While the multiplexes are busy getting everyone in the mood for Halloween, two of the most hailed movies of the year are starting to sneak out into limited release.
