Not a lot of competition for Spectre or Peanuts this week. Two adult aimed movies open, one hoping to cash in on the holiday season, and the other to cash in on an actual real life story. Love The Coopers has a solid ensemble cast, but no A-listers. It should do OK, but a review embargo isn’t promising. Usually films that have no reviews when they open are awful. I’d be worried. The 33 isn’t getting great reviews either, which is odd for an “Oscar bait” film. It might catch a few eyes this weekend, but it’ll feel more like Burnt than Bridge Of Spies.
In limited release, the poorly reviewed By The Sea opens in 10 screens. I wonder if it will ever actually go wide.
