Disney continues its march to turn their whole animated catalogue into live-action films, two nerds get one last night of high school redemption, and a classic superhero origin story is upended in a creepy way.

This week we've got the ultimate contract killer coming back for more killing, a dog getting reincarnated, and one night for love in the city.

We’ve got four movies coming out this week with themes that are all over the map.

Following the release of one of the most anticipated movies in quite some time came out last week, it's natural to feel a cinematic hangover - but we still have four flicks hitting theaters this week in which we can sink our teeth.

It isn't often we get a movie with as much hype and star power as the one that comes out this week. It's the end of an era with our heroes getting one last chance to save the universe. Get ready for Avengers: Endgame.

A nice mix of titles are coming out this week, including a religious drama, a nature documentary, and the latest chapter of The Conjuring Universe.

This week we've got the return of an unlikely superhero, body switching, stop motion and a YA love affair.

This week we have another big superhero blockbuster, a terrifying burial ground, and a civil rights story.

Two movies hit the big screen and they couldn’t be any more dissimilar if they tried. In one we get a drug-addled writer buzzing his way through the Florida Keys. And in the other it’s a beloved elephant who uses his ears to fly (which kind of sounds like something a drug-addled writer would come up with. Maybe these flicks aren’t all that different). Get ready for The Beach Bum and Dumbo.

We’ve only got one movie on the docket this week, but it’s definitely an exciting one.

After a week that saw Captain Marvel take over all of the movie headlines, we get three flicks with decidedly different themes. It’s a post-alien invasion world, sick teens, and an imaginary amusement park.

We’ve only got one movie in the lineup this week, but it’s a huge one, as the much-anticipated Captain Marvel hits the big screen.

Oscar season has come to end, and audiences are still waiting for the next big Marvel release. This week, the in-between-ness can definitely be felt.

We’ve only got one movie on the docket this week, but it’s the culmination of a lot of practice with a fictitious beast.

This week’s slate of movies gives us a cyberpunk concept film, Groundhog Day for horror fans and a tear down of the rom-com genre. Get ready for Alita: Battle Angel, Happy Death Day 2U and Isn’t it Romantic.

Sure, the Super Bowl is the main entertainment attraction on this Sunday, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start looking ahead to the week of movies.

It’s a light week of movies this time around with just one new title in wide release. All we get is a tourist whose trip to Mexico lands her in the crosshairs of both a drug cartel and the DEA.

We have two movies on tap this week, with a kid-centric return to Camelot, and a psychological thriller in which Matthew McConaughey gets to go into an intense brooding mode.

We've only got one movie on tap this week, but it's at least an interesting one. M. Night Shyamalan is back to confound us with the age-old question: is he a legitimately talented director, or a man of only a few good ideas?__

If you like cloning, dogs and/or buddy comedies then this is the kind of week for you.
