While it would be impossible for anything but Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to top the box office this weekend, of the two new releases, neither really seems like a dominant type of film, so I suspect that The Menu may end up on top of the two.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): My interest in the film is a combination of the cast and a compelling mystery. Will it deliver on all of those? Probably not.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Strong cast could pull could off this horror comedy, but it looks more like a crowd-pleaser than an awards magnet.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It looks like it will turn into a film about who is eating who, and it just does not seem that appealing.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): Anything with Carey Mulligan in it piques my interest, but with the added benefit of the importance of the film’s message, I’m much more compelled.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Weinstein drama seems like yesterday’s news while Oscar campaign for co-lead Carey Mulligan in support seems wrong-heded.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The trailer is both a little dull and sensationalistic, but it should be a moving film that remains highly relevant.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): It just looks a bit too conventional and familiar for my tastes.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Heartfelt Palestinian drama seems too under the radar to capture many awards.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It will probably grab at the heart strings but will not let any new feelings enter over the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): As much as I like the idea of reteaming Timothรฉe Chalamet and Luca Guadagnino, the film’s premise is off-putting enough to counterack that intrigue.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Might be well-made but a love story about cannibals is a bit much for me.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The critics mostly like it, but this tale of cannibalistic lovers feels slightly repugnant.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): A formulaic World War II race drama doesn’t have enough going for it.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Korean War drama seems compelling but won’t draw the audiences of a Tom Cruise actioner.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): It will be an uplifting movie about overcoming racism in the military, but we have a pretty good idea of how it will go beforehand.

Individual Commentary:

Wesley Lovell (WL): While I never saw the original, the trailer for this sequel almost gave me the desire to watch the first film. Almost.
Peter J. Patrick (PP): Sequel to a U.K. comedy no one on this side of the Atlantic is familiar with looks like a box-office dud.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): I have not heard of the original film and this looks pretty trite as it covers lots of old ground.

Individual Commentary:

Peter J. Patrick (PP): Gabrielle Union is a longshot Oscar contender for her portrayal of the mother of a gay marine during the Afghanistan War.
Thomas LaTourette (TL): The blurbs talk about it being a queer story, but little of that is visible in the story of a man becoming a marine.
