This weekend will have a few questions associated with it. 1) Can Bullet Train avoid a huge second weekend plunge and will that be enough to overcome a weak set of new releases? 2) Will Diane Keaton still be able to open a geriatric comedy at the top of the box office in spite of such a hackneyed premise? 3) Will the wide expansion of horror film Bodies Bodies Bodies be able to ride solid reviews to a number one finish? It’s hard to say what answers we’ll get as it’s just as possible that the opposite answers are true, but I suspect the answers are 1) Bullet Train will get a solid second-week hold, but it won’t be enough to top the box office. 2) Keaton is not going to have a good weekend as her film fails to appeal to the youth demographic, but it will still have modest support from Keaton fans and seniors. 3) The originality of the Bodies Bodies Bodies idea should be enough to boost it to the number one finish in a tight competition with Bullet Train.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): My fear of falling won’t let me see this film, though I’m not sure how it’s going to hang on for an hour and a half without losing paceโ€ฆthen again, Frozen managed to do that with people trapped on a snow ski lift, so who knows.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): This contrived nonsense about two girls in danger of their own making might have a few thrills, but it mostly looks tedious.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): Either Diane Keaton is struggling to remain relevant or they are paying her a lot of money for this Freaky Friday rip-off.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): How many Diane Keaton fans are there left who will want to see her play an elderly dim nitwit yet again?

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): I like Aubrey Plaza, but this film doesn’t look like it uses her well and may be forcing her into a dramatic role without necessity.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Glum Los Angeles set crime story looks like one to ignore.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): It might be an interesting coming of age story, but the trailer wears out the concept quickly, which doesn’t sound like much fun for the film itself.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): With a ridiculous premise about four very young girls who don’t want to grow up, this looks like something no one would want to see.
