Looking at the Weekend: Jun. 25-27, 2021

There’s little question that F9, the week’s only new wide release, will top the box office for the weekend. Its performance will also tell us whether the pandemic box office is back at full steam or if we’re in for a few rough months before its entire revitalization.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): I still remain blissfully uninitiated to this franchise. Peter J. Patrick (PP): I haven’t seen the previous eight films in the franchise, and nothing in the trailer makes me want start with this one. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The franchise can be fun, but it feels like it might be going too over the top even for it, though die-hard fans should love it.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): Another dull looking horror film. Peter J. Patrick (PP): The only thing that distinguishes this from all the other dead kid horror movies is that it’s in Swedish. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Horror films are not my favorite, but the trailer for this haunted house drama did little to scare up interest or chills.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): Has potential, but the trailer isn’t great. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Documentary style gay immigration drama looks compelling but didn’t muster much interest at last year’s Independent Spirit awards. Thomas LaTourette (TL): One gets a feeling of the love the two men share, but not quite enough of the plot to really stir up interest. Still, I would like to see it.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): Another mob film told in flashback. Nothing new to see here. Peter J. Patrick (PP): The lack of anything new or surprising in this gangster pic probably makes it one entry too many in the genre. Thomas LaTourette (TL): Another mob film which is not that exciting to me, and a trailer that does not make it seem that different from any other one.

	Individual Commentary:
	Wesley Lovell (WL): Humorous looking horror comedy. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Film taken from a video game doesn’t hold any interest for me. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The comedy seems a little forced, but a quirky small town dealing with a werewolf might be worth seeing.
