Opening This Weekend

Sully

The “Miracle on the Hudson” story makes its way to theaters this weekend with Tom Hanks starring in Sully.  The film is based on Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger’s memoir, “Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters.” While Harrison Ford was instrumental in getting the film made, Sullenberger worked extensively with Hanks getting him ready for the role. Another heavyweight, Clint Eastwood, directed the film.

How close is it to the true story? The flight investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board aren’t very happy with how they are portrayed in the movie. History vs Hollywood has a breakdown the real-life story versus the movie.

Todd M. Thatcher predicts an opening weekend of $19.8 million for Sully.

When the Bough Breaks

Morris Chestnut, Regina Hall, Theo Rossi and Jax Sinclair star in the psychological thriller When the Bough Breaks, in theaters this weekend. The film centers on a young couple and their surrogate. The surrogate then becomes obsessed with the husband and a nightmare for the couple in general.  Jon Cassar directs the film written by Jack Olsen. Cassar is best known for producing 24.

As star Chestnut tells the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the script was partially inspired by events that happened to producer Dylan Sellers. Bustle says When the Bough Breaks is scarier than most people probably expect.

Todd M. Thatcher predicts an opening weekend of $22.7 million for When the Bough Breaks.

The Wild Life

The best thing The Wild Life has going for it this weekend is that its an animated flick. If you need to take the kids to the movies, it’s your answer. The Los Angeles Times calls it “colorfully animated.” The film tells the age-old story of Robinson Crusoe through the eyes of wildlife.

Todd M. Thatcher predicts an opening weekend of $3.2 million for The Wild Life.
