New to Theatres This Weekend: The Three Stooges, The Cabin in the Woods, Lockout

There’s a flood of new movies hitting theatres this weekend, but with The Hunger Games showing no sign of weakness, it’s questionable whether any of them will be able to dethrone it. Perhaps the biggest challenger is The Farrelly Brothers’ The Three Stooges, which could have some serious mainstream appeal but only if it manages to connect with younger audiences. A couple of genre flicks are also in the running including Drew Goddard’s The Cabin in the Woods and the sci-fi action flick Lockout starring Guy Pearce. The former has been getting fantastic reviews, the latter not so much. Also this weekend The Raid: Redemption is finally playing nationwide and The Weinsteins caved and released a PG-13 cut of Bully in over 100 theatres. Other movies in select theatres include Touchback starring Kurt Russell, Badass starring Danny Trejo, and the grunge documentary Hit So Hard featuring former Hole drummer Patty Schemel. What will you be watching this weekend?

    Looks like Stooges will pull just behind Hunger Games, and that Lockout is the big bomb. Cabin seems to be doing the kind of numbers that are not bad but will bring out the Scott Pilgrim-y “The internet does not reflect the public” commentary.

  • Yeah, but Cabin open in 600+ less theaters than Stooges. And made more per theater than Stooges and right behind Hungry Games.
