The dismal Thanksgiving week (you can’t call it a weekend) parade of films has begun.
Neither Disney’s “Wish” or Sony’s “Napoleon” will get past $28 million for their six day runs from Tuesday through Sunday.
“Wish” is showing the edge over “Napoleon” as parents will need a place to park children as the week proceeds.
But it’s a sad situation, certainly. The new “Hunger Games” is right behind these two, which isn’t saying much.
Still in theaters: “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which you must see. Forget about the length. This is a sensational film that will not even give you a bathroom break. If you want to see great filmmaking, here it is.
Same for “The Holdovers,” which I watched again last night. This is the most charming film of the season. Paul Giamatti is wonderful, and so are Da’Vine Joy Randolph and newcomer Dominic Sessa.
If you’re into a crazy soap opera with a lot of sexual tension, “Saltburn” is dancing away in limited release. Not an Oscar picture, but a popcorn pleaser. Think “Brideshead Revisited” updated into a Rocky Horror Picture Show. You won’t be bored.
