New on Blu-ray: ZOMBIELAND Double Feature (Zombieland / Zombieland 2: Double Tap)

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Zombieland: Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they're about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

Zombieland 2: Doubletap - A decade after Zombieland became a hit film and a cult classic, the lead cast (Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Emma Stone) have reunited with director Ruben Fleischer (Venom) and the original writers Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick (Deadpool) for Zombieland 2: Double Tap. In the sequel, written by Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick and Dave Callaham, through comic mayhem that stretches from the White House and through the heartland, these four slayers must face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.

Weekend Box-Office: JOKER Takes Down MALEFICENT Sequel With $18.9 Million

The comic book origin story "Joker" made a comeback this week, claiming the top spot while Disney's "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" finished in second place. However, the distance between the two is extremely small, and could end up being switched when the finals come in. Meanwhile, newcomers "Black and Blue" and "Countdown" performed as expected, which isn't particularly impressive.

Weekend Box-Office: Disney's MALEFICENT Sequel Takes Top Spot, But It's a Flop

Disney had a disappointing weekend as their latest live-action film, "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil", a sequel to the 2014 reimagining of the studio's 1959 animated film "Sleeping Beauty", managed to bomb, despite topping the charts. Another sequel, the R-rated zombie comedy "Zombieland: Double Tap" performed slightly better than expected, but couldn't take down "Joker", which continues to perform well.

In Theaters: MALEFICENT MISTRESS OF EVIL, ZOMBIELAND DOUBLE TAP, THE LIGHTHOUSE, JOJO RABBIT and JAY & SILENT BOB REBOOT

This week we have two new wide releases, both sequels, competing for the top spot at the box-office against "The Joker". The first is Disney's "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil", which is off to a decent start with $2.6 million from Thursday night previews. Althought reviews for the film have been less enthusiastic compared to the first film, the audience reception looks solid ("A" grade from CinemaScore's polls), and the film is expected to finish the weekend with as much as $35 million from 3,790 theaters (a huge step down from the first film's $69.4 million debut in 2014).

The other new arrival is the horror comedy "Zombieland: Double Tap", which raked in $2.85 million from previews. The overall reception is mixed-to-positive, both from critics and moviegoers ("B+" grade from CinemaScore). The R-rated film could open with around $25 million from 3,468 theaters, which is on par with its predecessor's $24.7 million opening weekend in 2009.

In limited release we have some interesting new films. The best of the bunch is the horror film "The Lighthouse" from acclaimed filmmaker Robert Eggers ("The Witch"), starring Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe. Of couse, it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but genre fans should definitely check it out.

Also out in select theaters are the dark satire "Jojo Rabbit" written and directed by Taika Waititi ("Thor Ragnarok"), and Kevin Smith's "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot", the seventh film in the filmmaker's View Askewniverse.
