The real life story blended with the Tom Hanks brand and Clint Eastwood name should help bolster Sully to the top of the box office. Add in the strong reviews and Oscar prospects and it seems difficult to beat. The Disappointments Room and When the Bough Breaks, which may cause them to cannibalize each other. The Wild Life has gotten little attention in terms of advertising, and most adults aren’t likely to want to give this one a shot.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer kept the secrets hidden, which makes the film look more intriguing than it probably is.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Another week, another low-budget horror movie.
Tripp Burton (TB): I’m getting horror film fatigue, and this doesn’t look any different.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): Another film that looks like many before it, where a family moves to an old house with secrets. I will pass.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): I can give or take Clint Eastwood, but the trailers have this film looking quite interesting, even if it bares a striking resemblance to Denzel Washington’s Flight.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Contemporary actioner about a true-life incident with another impressive-looking performance from Tom Hanks.
Tripp Burton (TB): The buzz is solid, if not exceptional, but I’m always curious to check out a new Clint Eastwood film.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): Clint Eastwood has produced a mixed bag of movies lately, though the trailer looks promising.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): An interesting-looking genre thriller that isn’t likely to be as good as the trailers make it look.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): A contemporary Fatal Attraction style thriller looks interesting.
Tripp Burton (TB): I’m getting horror film fatigue, and this doesn’t look any different.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It’s a movie we have seen before of a baby surrogate going psychotic and messing up the lives of the family she is helping, and this one looks worse than usual.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): This adapation of Robinson Crusoe looks genuinely awful.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Robinson Crusoe meets Animated Film. Could be worth checking out.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks very bizarre and juvenile, and hopefully my kids won’t discover it is out and make me go see it.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): As much as I like animated films, this version of Robinson Crusoe looks amazingly juvenile with few redeeming features.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): There are elements in the trailer that make this look like it might be a fairly commonplace film, but there are other elements that make it look compelling.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Inspirational French World War 2 epic should be worth a look.
Tripp Burton (TB): This doesn’t look very original, but it looks gorgeously made so I may check it out.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It is a WWII movie with a few twists, but the trailer just did not excite me. Hopefully it will be better than it looks.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): A period horror film that looks unlike anything I’ve seen before. Could be most fascinating.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Polish/Israeli horror film looks intriguing.
Tripp Burton (TB): This looks creepy, but not much more than that.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It has an atmospheric trailer, though that contains none of the humor the good early reviews refer to. Not sure what it will be like.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): The trailer doesn’t create enough empathy for the main character to make it look that interesting.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Coming of age drama set on the mean streets of Oakland should have some merit.
Tripp Burton (TB): I’ve heard good things about this, but will probably wait until it’s streaming.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The few early reviews are good, but the trailer seems like it’s making too much of a small thing.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): Apart from seeling Molly Shannon’s performance, the film doesn’t look that appealing to me.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Festival hit could be an indie sleeper with its highly praised tragicomic lead performances.
Tripp Burton (TB): A very funny cast makes this worth checking out.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): A family dramedy of a mother dying of cancer could be good, or it could be absolutely full of every cliche.
