The non-Lionsgate studios are basically staying out of Katniss' way as far as major releases are concerned, so it's looking like last weekend's top three movies--Big Hero 6, Interstellar, and Dumb and Dumber To--are going to hang around in the top five. As far as limited releases are concerned, there are two horror films that I can personally attest to be worth seeing: The Babadook and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. V/H/S: Viral and Extraterrestrial are hitting screens as well, though the reviews for both have been less than positive (41% and 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, respectively. Personally, I thought Extraterrestrial had enough stupid clichés for five movies). Werewolf thriller Late Phases is somewhere in between, with a 60% approval rating from critics.
As far as non-horror movies are concerned, the reviews for farmworker doc Food Chains have been promising, and Reach Me has one of the most intriguingly eclectic casts I've seen in a while. You're telling me that Kyra Sedgwick, Thomas Jane, Kelsey Grammer, Terry Crews, Cary Elwes, Tom Berenger and Sylvester Stallone are all in one movie? Unfortunately, the reviews indicate that Reach Me is a big ol' mess. Oh, well. Better luck next time, Sly.
Personally, I'm going to try The King and the Mockingbird. a restoration of a classic French animated film that looks charmingly madcap:
