Well it’s the first proper weekend in January and the release line-up feels pretty familiar for this time of year. We’ve got one heavily hyped awards contender getting a full wide release (The Revenant) along with a relatively low budget horror film (The Forest). Either one could surprise, but neither seems likely to unseat Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the top of the box office. In semi-wide release, we’ve also got the Christian wrestling movie (?) The Masked Saint along with an expansion for Charlie Kaufman’s stop-motion animated film Anomalisa. Also in select theatres: Tim Blake Nelson’s Anesthesia and Yosemite starring James Franco. What will you be watching this weekend?
