August 7th-9th
Endless Animation/Laika’s A Fool Errand (73 on Metacritic) is tracking at a decent $12M-$16M, which is the usual for a stop motion flick. The good news is it’s outpacing Halloweentown last year.
A Fool’s Errand: $17M/$70M (x4.11) (Yes reviews aren’t extraordinary but the fact that it has no family competition until The Second Crash Bandicoot means legs should be healthy even despite the path of Amulet II, shorter runtime will help)
August 14th-16th
Blankments’ By The Balls (78 on Metacritic and looking to enter the Best Picture race) is tracking at a strong $15M-$18M.
By The Balls: $18M/$55M (x3.05) (Legs will be interesting for sure, on one hand I can see it pulling an Otherspace and get insane legs and the other I see WOM being very polarizing for this)
August 21st-23rd
Alpha Pictures’ Resonance is looking at a very strong $18M-$22M (68 on Metacritic) which is very strong for it and will definitely help it.
Resonance: $25M/$63M (x2.5) (Tulpa will definitely hurt its legs but WOM should help)
August 28th-30th
Gold Cresent’s Tattooed Teenage 4lien Fighters From Beverly Hills is tracking at $27M-$30M due to increased hype and being sold as the final chapter.
TT4FFBH: $30M/$75M (x2.5) (slightly weaker legs than two seems about right)
Guardian of The West: $27.3M
The Dogs of Babel
A very well done mystery flick. Sterling K Brown is strong as the lead and the film is always interesting for what it is, to say the least. Not to mention I want a Gobi/Lorelei Team Up Movie now.
7.5/10.0
The Square Mile
I love me some Numbers fall crime flicks and The Square Mile certainly ain’t no slouch. The writing is superb like the acting (Watts was great), and the action is always exciting. The only problem is at times it’s a bit predictable but the final product is great.
8.7/10.0
Now for the reviews:
Silent Hill: Restless Dreams
Although the first one was superior, due to it’s more well done atmosphere as well as slightly more streamlined, this sequel is still a great film. The cast delivers, the score is strong as ever, the scares work as well and the writing is still strong. You’ll be in for a good time.
