A large slate of new releases will compete to be the number one film of the weekend, with the films most likely to have a chance being Geostorm, Boo 2, and Only the Brave. Snowman could surprise, but the negative reviews will depress turnout. I would normally give the edge to the disaster film, but Only the Brave is timely and will likely draw more of an audience from middle America than the other films.

Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer for the first film got me interested, but I didn’t get out to see it. The trailer for this film also got me interested. So, I watched the original to get an idea of what to expect with the sequel. Suffice it to say, I was disappointed, which tempers my opinion for this film a bit. |

Wesley Lovell (WL): This film oozes with two antiquated and excisable tropes: The White Savior trope and the Magical Negro trope. For that alone I refuse to dignify it with my attention. |

Wesley Lovell (WL): A story of gay men fighting for AIDS funding in France seems like a compelling history lesson, one that seems far too infreuently told for the severity of it all. |
