Another week of no releases sees yet more limited releases opening in scattered theaters. Here are our thoughts. Our Highest Rated Films: The Painted Bird Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES The Grizzlies (Limited) My Brothers’ Crossing (Limited)

Wide releases still appear to be on the distant horizon, but the uptick in coronavirus cases is no doubt worrisome to Hollywood studios and theaters alike. We’ll see if those currently scheduled for release in August will be moved again in the not-so-distant future. Our Highest Rated Films: Palm Springs Our Best Awards Ratings: None…

With the July film landscape continuously changing (all of the impending wide releases have been moved into August), there’s just not much to choose fun. What’s most palpable is the sense of dread having a July 4 holiday weekend, especially with most people getting the Friday before off, vacant of new wide releases. Our Highest…

Hollywood is still struggling to find a suitable pace at which to re-open production as well as release to the cinemas and those cinemas are likewise trying to figure out the best way to balance safety and profitability. We are seeing more theatrical releases than the prior three months, but wide releases have all been…

As theaters begin re-opening, we’re going to start highlighting what’s coming out in the following weeks. It will be a slow, but steady build back to what everyone had been expecting prior to the pandemic.

With theaters shut down, this article will go onto hiatus until everything normalizes.

With all of the wide releases being pushed out due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s nothing to say what will be on top of the charts this week, but we know it won’t be a new wide release.

Four new films go up against the second weekend of Pixar’s Onward and it’s likely that one of them should be able to topple a film that had a rather unimpressive opening for a Pixar feature. Bloodshot is a sci-fi actioner starring Vin Diesel, which has some solid potential. The Hunt was held back from…

There will be nothing stopping the latest Pixar effort from topping this week’s box office chart and the year’s biggest opening to date is likely.

The Invisible Man is the most likely winner of this final weekend of February with Emma expanding, but not doing much otherwise. The second weekends of Sonic the Hedgehog and Call of the Wild won’t likely amount to much. Our Highest Rated Films: The Invisible Man, Straight Up Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED…

A new number one is likely with this week’s debut of Call of the Wild starring Harrison Ford. It’s an adaptation of a well known novel by Jack London and the previews definitely sell it as a one-of-a-kind adventure between a man and his dog. Unlike this week’s other debut, Brahms: The Boy II, Call…

Four films will attempt to win the weekend in the wake of the minor debut that was Birds of Prey. Fantasy Island and Sonic the Hedgehog have the most potential, though being Valentine’s weekend, The Photograph could pull in enough on Friday to top the others. Maybe, but doubtful. Sonic probably has a better shot…

The latest film in the DC Extended Universe should easily top the week’s box office.

The holdovers are doing well and the new releases are doing poorly so far this year, which means that this week’s new releases aren’t likely to be box office toppers, though Gretel and Hansel has a better chance at it than does The Rhythm Section.

With two wide releases this weekend, we finally have some competition. After the superb debut of Bad Boys for Life last weekend, The Gentlemen and The Turning will battle it out for number with the former having better options. The Gentlemen has a lot of well known actors and a popular director to give it…
