Looking at the Weekend: Mar. 10-12, 2023

With three new releases, the box office will have plenty of room to play around, but the Scream series has done a solid job performing on opening weekend. That said, watch out for 65. It has the potential to either be a huge success or a flop and if it’s huge, it could top Scream VI.

	Wesley Lovell (WL): It doesn’t look very good, but there’s always potential. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Sci-fi drama from the makers of A Quiet Place looks dead on arrival. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The effects may be good, but it just does not look like that interesting a movie.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): This looks like the kind of disability comedy that went out of fashion 20 years ago. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Bobby Farrelly gets ready for the Special Olympics in typically cheesy fashion. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Having a coach try to turn a group of kids with intellectual disabilities into a team is variation on an old formula. It might be good, but it feels like movies we’ve seen before.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): It could be interesting, but the trailer is rather dull. Peter J. Patrick (PP): A kind of New Zealand Tea and Sympathy gives us something different. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Nothing looked that new in this boxing and gay coming of age drama.
