New To Theatres This Weekend: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Tourist, The Fighter

Heading to theatres this week we have two potential blockbusters that are very questionable indeed. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s The Tourist may have an acclaimed director and two huge stars, but the reviews have been horrible and there is absolutely no buzz for it whatsoever. If it does well, it will be based on star power alone. Meanwhile, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawntreader will have to overcome a distinct lack of interest in the previous Narnia film. The weekend’s best bet would seem to be David O. Russell’s The Fighter, but the film is opening in just 5 theatres (it goes wide next weekend). Also in select theatres we have Julie Taymor’s The Tempest, John Irvin’s adaptation of Hemingway’s Garden of Eden, and Steven Soderbergh’s Spalding Gray documentary And Everything is Going Fine. What will you be watching this weekend?
