Moana 2 is sure to be a hit but can it overcome the sequel curse that Disney has been facing lately? Inside Out 2 was a success but that could be a one-off. We shall see.

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.

Disney Presents: Who Shrunk Daniel Funk? (Limited)
Queens (Limited)

Moana 2

Wesley Lovell: While I like the first film, I can’t say that I want to see a sequel.

Peter J. Patrick: Looks okay but not really something I would go out of my way to see.

Thomas La Tourrette: The first film was enjoyable enough, but I do not think this one will be quite as good.

LIMITED RELEASES
| HEAVIER TRIP |	| MARIA |	| QUEER |	| THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG |	| SEPTEMBER 5 |

| THAT CHRISTMAS |

The Limited Slate

Wesley Lovell: A few interesting options this week with Maria being the most intriguing possibility.

Peter J. Patrick: Maria, Queer, The Seed of the Scared Fig, and September 5 all have Oscar potential, and That Christmas looks like one of the better animated features of the year.

Thomas La Tourrette: Except for Heavier Trip, these all look worth seeing. Maria and Queer are said to have career defining roles by Angelina Jolie and Daniel Craig in them. It is nice to have a full slate of films to be looking forward to.
