Hitting theatres on this final day in September we have a handful of interesting films to choose from including an acclaimed (and potentially Oscar-worthy?) Seth Rogen comedy and the first wave of October horror flicks. 50/50 starring Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will attempt to overcome the stigma of being a comedy about cancer, as it goes up against Jim Sheridan’s Dream House starring Daniel Craig, the Anna Faris comedy What’s Your Number? and religious drama Courageous (from the director of Fireproof… enough said). In select theatres we also have Take Shelter starring Michael Shannon, Margaret starring Matt Damon and Anna Paquin, and the horror comedy Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, plus Nick Broomfield’s Sarah Palin documentary. Do any of these have a shot at taking down The Lion King? I wouldn’t bet on it, although something tells me Courageous could actually come the closest. What are your box office predictions and what will you be watching this weekend?
