However, big films like Logan and Kong: Skull Island are still drawing big crowds, and there are other movies out that also may be worth your viewing time.
Check out our Weekly Movie Guide to help you decide what you should see!
New Movie Showcase: Beauty and the Beast
Beauty and the Beastย was a Disney animated classic, and the live-action version of the film arrives with worldwide fan anticipation behind it.ย
The filmย currently holds aย 3.29/5ย anticipation rating in our anticipation rankings database; it’s a sign that, while there is certainly a built-in audience for a Disney live-action film, maybe there isn’t as much excitement forย Beauty and the Beastย as some may think (at least not with our reader base).
While there is little doubt thatย Beauty and the Beastย is going to have a big weekend at the top of the box office, it will be interesting to see how it endures over multiple weeks – and whether or not Disney fans react well to the live-action version of the classic film.ย
And as always, enjoy whichever movie(s) you choose to see!

Horror Movie Showcase: The Belko Exeriment
We here at Comicbook.com recognize and appreciate our growing number of horror movie fans (check out CB Horror Page on Facebook for updates!).ย
If you want something on the darker and more violent side than what’s being offered by the mainstream flicks out this week (thoughย Loganย does scratch that itch with an Adamantiumย claw) then look no further thanย The Belko Experiment!
The film was written byย Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2ย director James Gunn, and features a story where a group of office workers in Columbia are sealed into their building and forced to kill one another in aย Battle Royal-style game.ย
The Belkoย Experimentย will be in theaters starting tonight.ย
Indie Movie Limited Pick: Song to Song
Acclaimed filmmaker Terrence Malick’sย new rock ‘n’ roll love story,ย Song to Song, is opening in limited release this weekend. The film has an all-star cast, with Oscar-nominees Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara playing two musicians in love, whose world is rocked (pun) by new fame, and a romantic entaglement with a seedy producer and his waitress girlfriend (Oscar-winners Michael Fassbenderย and Natalie Portman).ย
Unfortunately, unless you have a New York or Los Angelesย zip code, you won’t be able to see the film until later. Until then, check out the crazy trailer,ย
Kid’s Pick: Ice Age Collision Course
If you’re locked in the house this weekend, and you have kids, then HBOย Saturday movie will help get you from Saturday night through Sunday evening.
With its latest installment (no. 5) theย Ice Ageย franchise is a huge hit with the little ones – so they’ll be good for a few hours of coach potato time, if you want to exercise the option.ย
