It’s going to be a fascinating weekend. With Rogue One likely to take the top spot for a second week, second place is up for grabs and I think the favorite would have to be Sing, which is the first major animated film in weeks and the Christmas holiday is a perfect release window. Passengers could be stiff competition, but both Why Him? and Assassin’s Creed will be lucky to finish in the top five.
Our Highest Rated Films: Sing; A Monster Calls; Julieta

Wesley Lovell (WL): Apart from knowing a key plot point of the film, it looks like an engaging sci-fi romance. My interest, howeve, has waned a bit. |

Wesley Lovell (WL): I am not a Scorsese devotee. I don’t worship at the altar of Raging Bull, though I have liked most of his films. The trailer left me cold, which doesn’t put this in my must see column. |
