If you aren’t too busy tailgating now that football is back, you might want to check out one of the new movies opening up this weekend.
Moviegoers this weekend will have a choice of three new films in wide release.
In ‘Contagion,’ Matt Damon fights a viral epidemic that could endanger the entire planet, while the title character in ‘Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star‘ learns his parents were once porn-stars and abandons his small town life to follow in their footsteps. Finally, ‘Warrior‘ sees two
Earning a total of $123 million at the box office in the month since its release, ‘The Help’ kept its number one spot in theaters for the third week in a row, becoming the first film to do so since last summer’s ‘Inception.’
Three very different films will bow this weekend in theaters nationwide.
The sci-fi/fantasy thriller ‘Apollo 18‘ uses a faux-documentary style to explore a covert trip to the moon that reveals disturbing new life forms, while Helen Mirren’s ‘The Debt‘ sees three former Mossad agents haunted by a dangerous secret mission from 30 years prior, and horror-flick ‘Shark Night 3D‘ features seven vacationers — most of whom will presumably become food — encountering shark-infested waters.
Three new movies will be added to theaters this Friday, offering everything from cowboys and aliens to the Smurfs in 3-D.
The first is the Jon Favreau-directed ‘Cowboys & Aliens,’ in which Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford team to fight off – you guessed it – an alien-invasion in 1873 Arizona.
This weekend, parents and kids will have plenty to choose from with two family-friendly movies opening nationwide.
The first is, of course, the long-awaited 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,' the eighth and final movie in the wildly popular franchise. Critics are raving 'Harry's' farewell, which is sure to help position it as one of the biggest, if not the biggest, movie of the year.
In an already jam-packed summer movie season, director Matthew Vaughn hopes to impress audiences with his latest movie, 'X-Men: First Class,' a reboot of the Marvel movie series that takes fans back to the beginning (or in this case, the Cold War-era '60s).
Already, the film has impressed critics; it currently has over a 95 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But will audiences flock to see it in theaters? We'll know in a few days.
In the meantime, check out a list of new movies opening Friday, plus what's still playing in theaters, to help you decide what to see this weekend.
This is the time of the year when the studios pull out their big guns for what's sure to be another epic summer movie season.
And it looks like there could be a few moneymakers this weekend, with the hilarious 'Bridesmaids' (from the producers of 'Knocked Up' and 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin') and the big screen adaptation of 'Priest' opening in theaters.
Get a rundown of what's opening this weekend, plus a list of movies still in theaters, after the jump.
Three new movies are opening nationwide this weekend.
