This week features 5 new releases, including 2 wide releases and 3 limited releases. My early predictions is that WALL-E will outdo Wanted at the weekend box office because with the summer holidays, more families go to the cinema and a lot of children have been waiting for this movie for some time.

What are you going to see this weekend? Each week we will give you a preview of the movies coming out on the weekend, including MPAA ratings, synopsis, and trailers. Let us know which one you’ll be seeing and then come back to let us know what you thought of it.
