May 2018 has been an absolutely MONSTER month for the box office. With Avengers: Infinity War‘s release at the end of April, the blockbuster has carried on and remained at the top of the box office for over three weeks. It finally lost the top spot to fellow superhero movie Deadpool 2, and now that movie runs into a similar problem as the Star Wars franchise returns to theatres with the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Comics and Star Wars so hot right now. Comics and Star Wars.
A bunch of future releases got new trailers this week, and whether you’re into blockbusters, serious dramas, or even something in between, there’s something here for you. Check out this week’s must-see trailers below.
Skyscraper
The second trailer for The Rock’s latest movie Skyscraper was released, and it can basically be summarized as Die Hard except with The Rock taking the place of Bruce Willis.
Official Synopsis:
FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader and U.S. war veteran Will Sawyer, who now assesses security for skyscrapers. On assignment in Hong Kong he finds the tallest, safest building in the world suddenly ablaze, and he’s been framed for it. A wanted man on the run, Will must find those responsible, clear his name and somehow rescue his family who is trapped inside the building…above the fire line.
Skyscraper hits theaters on July 13th, 2018.
Christopher Robin
Get ready for the nostalgia trip of the century with Christopher Robin. Ewan McGregor plays an adult Christopher Robin who’s visited by Pooh and helps him reconnect with what he’s lost.
The official synopsis:
A working-class family man, Christopher Robin, encounters his childhood friend Winnie-the-Pooh, who helps him to rediscover the joys of life.
Christopher Robin will be released on August 3rd, 2018.
The Sisters Brothers
Joaquin Phoenix? John C. Reilly? Jake Gyllenhaal? Sign us up. If you’re in the mood for a good old-fashioned Western with a nice dose of laughs, The Sisters Brothers looks like the perfect movie for you.
Official Synopsis:
Based on Patrick DeWitt’s novel, The Sisters Brothers revolves around the colourfully named gold prospector Hermann Kermit Warm, who’s being pursued across 1000 miles of 1850s Oregon desert to San Francisco by the notorious assassins Eli and Charlie Sisters. Except Eli is having a personal crisis and beginning to doubt the longevity of his chosen career. And Hermann might have a better offer.
The Sisters Brothers does not have an official release date yet but will hit theaters later this year.
Shock and Awe
If you’re a journalism nerd like me and/or you loved Spotlight and were “meh” on The Post, it looks like you’ll probably dig this one. With the cast it has — Woody Harrelson, James Marsden, Tommy Lee Jones, Jessica Biel and Milla Jovovich– it certainly looks like it could be something special.
Official synopsis:
A group of journalists covering George Bush’s planned invasion of Iraq in 2003 are skeptical of the presidents claim that Saddam Hussein has “weapons of mass destruction.”
Shock and Awe will be released on July 13th, 2018.
Hotel Artemis
Now this movie is going to be awesome. Hotel Artemis takes a super exciting concept combines it with a great cast and gives us more Jeff Goldblum. Let’s be honest more Goldblum is good for everyone.
Official Synopsis:
Set in riot-torn, near-future Los Angeles, ‘Hotel Artemis’ follows the Nurse, who runs a secret, members-only emergency room for criminals.
Hotel Artemis will be released on June 8th, 2018.
