When two potent franchise go head-to-head, it’s hard to know who will win. That said, the animated Lord of the Rings probably won’t outpace Kraven the Hunter.

OTHER RELEASES

We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten Tomatoes’ trailer YouTube Channels. Below are some other films that are releasing this weekend that we haven’t considered.

Dirty Angels (Limited)
Filthy Animals (Limited)
The Man In The White Van (Limited)
Mary Pickford: Love Wild (Limited)
On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (Limited)
Young Werther (Limited)

WIDE RELEASES
| KRAVEN THE HUNTER |	| THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM |

Kraven the Hunter

Wesley Lovell: It looks pedestrian with little to sell it beyond Aaron Taylor-Johnson and that’s just not enough.

Peter J. Patrick: Dull looking superhero movie that may be a hit but it’s not for me. 

Thomas La Tourrette: I know nothing about this Marvel character, and nothing about the trailer makes me want to know more.

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim

Wesley Lovell: I’m not an anime fan but I do like The Lord of the Rings, so that interest may top anything else.

Peter J. Patrick: Not my cup of tea.

Thomas La Tourrette: The trailer is not terribly exciting and the animations just seems off for what they are doing.

LIMITED RELEASES
| THE LAST SHOWGIRL |	| NICKEL BOYS |	| SEPTEMBER 5 |

The Limited Slate

Wesley Lovell: A solid selection of limited releases this week with all of them potential worthy of viewing though Nickel Boys has the best chances.

Peter J. Patrick: Nickel Boys and September 5 seem interesting, but The Last Showgirl looks like a made for TV movie at best.

Thomas La Tourrette: All three sound promising to some extent, though only September 5 feels like a must see.
