It should be an interesting battle between Mufasa: The Lion King and Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Neither has any right to be a huge success both both will battle for dominance. Ultimately, I suspect Mufasa will come out on top.

WIDE RELEASES
| MUFASA: THE LION KING |	| SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 |

Mufasa: The Lion King

Wesley Lovell: I wasn’t interested in the re-adaptation of a great animated film, so the prequel is right out.

Peter J. Patrick: I’m not a big fan of prequels, especially animated sequels.

Thomas La Tourrette: Of all the origin stories Disney has been coming up with, this seems the least likely to succeed.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Wesley Lovell: I was never interested in this adaptation or its sequels.

Peter J. Patrick: Not familiar with the series.

Thomas La Tourrette: This just looks bad in so many ways.

LIMITED RELEASES
| THE BRUTALIST |	| THE COUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO |	| THE ROOM NEXT DOOR |	| WALLACE & GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL |

The Limited Slate

Wesley Lovell: The Brutalist and Wallace & Gromit are my choices but the others might be ok.

Peter J. Patrick: All four entries are major awards contenders including the latest French version of The Count of Monte Cristo which at 3 hours long may be a long sit for a familiar tale.

Thomas La Tourrette: They all look good, though The Brutalist has me most intrigued due to the rapturous reviews.
