Underworld: Blood Wars (2016)
Vampire death dealer, Selene (Kate Beckinsale) fights to end the eternal war between the Lycan clan and the Vampire faction that betrayed her.
Director:Anna Foerster |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: Sony has linked both Underworld and Resident Evil finales so closely, we're surprised they aren't releasing them as some sort of special double feature. So as we say farewell to both the death dealer Selene and her sister from another franchise, the rebellious Umbrella Corporation experiment, Alice, we hope to see more action heroines who can live up to their respective successes. Though we also expect either story to be spun off or rebooted within the next few years as well.

A Monster Calls (2016) - [Wide expansion]
A boy seeks the help of a tree monster to cope with his single mum's terminal illness.
Director:J.A. Bayona |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: With the holidays behind us, this is a time when some of the most heralded movies of the past year start to look for some breathing room and find their respective audiences. Director J.A. Bayona's escapist fantasy has enraptured audiences since its festival run commenced back in the fall, and with no real direct competition at the box office this month, it could become the top pick for a family night out.

I, Daniel Blake (2016) - [Limited]
A middle aged carpenter who requires state welfare after injuring himself, is joined by a single mother in a similar scenario.
Director:Ken Loach |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: At this point in his career it seems as though Ken Loach has little use for subtlety or gesture when it comes to his films; instead, his broad statements have bolstered his profile as one of the most politically minded directors in the world. I, Daniel Blake uses a relatable storytelling device, the neurotic relationship we tend to have with personal health care benefits, to take aim at Britain's ruling Conservative party. To help melt your heart, there's a three-legged dog named Shae at the center of the story, too.

D'Ardennen (2015) - [Limited]
A brutal home-jacking goes hopelessly wrong. Dave, one of the two robbers, manages to run off, leaving his brother Kenneth behind. Four years later, Kenneth is released from prison and much has changed. Dave has his life back on track and is trying to help Kenneth however possible, but is witnessing how the highly strung Kenneth tries to win back his ex-girlfriend Sylvie.
Director:Robin Pront |
| Watch Trailer |
The Buzz: I've heard mixed reviews for the story itself but most everyone who has seen this coal-black family drama says it's a promising feature debut from director Robin Pront. The script was more than enough to entice Bullhead producer Bart Van Langendonck into backing the project, which will be a selling point for U.S. audiences. - Arno

Railroad Tigers (2016) - [Limited]- Action | Comedy | War
A railroad worker in China in 1941 leads a team of freedom fighters against the Japanese in order to get food for the poor.
Director:Ding Sheng |
| Watch Trailer Get Tickets |
The Buzz: As Jackie Chan's loyal U.S. fan base already knows, just because we don't see him in English-language buddy movies these days doesn't mean he's not keeping incredibly busy; in fact, Railroad Tigers marks his third film with director Ding Sheng in the last six years. Meanwhile, another Chan movie, Skiptrace, enjoyed a $60 million dollar opening weekend in China last spring, on its way to a $135 million worldwide haul despite registering as a mere blip in the U.S. Railroad Tigers didn't perform as well in China but it was certainly a hit, and we credit Chan with being way ahead of the game when it comes to career longevity.
