"The Book of Henry" is a drama directed by Colin Trevorrow ("Jurassic World") from a script by Gregg Hurwitz ("V"). The film tells the story of a single mother (Naomi Watts ) of two, whose 11-year old genius son Henry (Jaeden Lieberher) dies of a brain tumor. With instructions left by Henry within a carefully crafted notebook, she sets out to rescue a young girl living next door from the hands of her abusive stepfather.

The cast also includes Jacob Tremblay, Maddie Ziegler, Dean Norris, Sarah Silverman, Bobby Moynihan and Lee Pace.

"The Book of Henry" opened in select theaters on June 16th, 2017 and received generally negative reviews. While the performances were praised, the film was considered too outlandish to be credible and too inconsistent to efficiently handle the many genres and tones it tries to juggle.

Even as a limited release, the film performed well in its opening weekend at the box-office, grossing $1.4 million from 579 theaters, which is considered quite a solid start.
