Opening This Weekend

Tomb Raider

Alicia Vikander portrays Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider film hitting theaters this weekend.  The film is still ultimately based on the video game of the same name first released in 1996. This latest film is actually based on a game released in 2013 that was meant to serve as a reboot of the series.

This latest film will be the third time that Lara Croft has been featured on the big screen. Vikander takes over the role from Angelina Jolie, who portrayed the character in the 2001 and 2003 films.

You might recognize Vikander from her starring role in Ex Machina. The Swedish actress also had roles recently in The Danish Girl, Tulip Fever and The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Todd M. Thatcher predicts opening weekend receipts of $27.8 million for Tomb Raider.

See Annihilation or Thoroughbreds at Hi-Pointe Theatre This Weekend

Hi-Pointe Theatre is a hidden gem of St. Louis. The Hi-Pointe Backlot is even more so, hidden behind the main theater on McCausland Avenue. Hi-Pointe has been around since 1922 at the Southwest corner of Forest Park and below the world’s largest Amoco sign.

Hi-Pointe Backlot came on the scene in 2015 on the second floor of a building right behind the main theater. It took three years of rehab before the owners of Hi-Pointe spent 60 straight days putting the final touches on the space. The 48-seat theater has drawn stellar reviews from movie fans.

See Thoroughbreds this weekend at Hi-Pointe Backlot, while Annihilation plays at Hi-Pointe Theatre.

If you haven’t seen the Jumanji reboot yet get to Keller this weekend. Starring Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black and Karen Gillian, the film is incredibly enjoyable. It’s also been an incredible success at the box office.

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle will likely pass the $400 million mark in domestic theaters by the first showing tomorrow evening. It is also closing on $1 billion in ticket sales worldwide.
