We’ve got three new movies opening in wide release this weekend, although none of them should pose a major threat to Marvel’s Doctor Strange. Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi film Arrival finally hits theatres after earning solid reviews on the festival circuit earlier this year. Other major releases include the Naomi Watts thriller Shut In and the holiday comedy Almost Christmas starring Gabrielle Union, Omar Epps, Danny Glover, Mo’Nique and J.B. Smoove. In select theatres, we have Ang Lee’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, which is getting mixed reviews and once again pushing high framerate technology, along with Paul Verhoeven’s Elle and Bryan Bertino’s The Monster.
