Nobody wants to be ordinary.

Directed and written by Bart Layton (The Imposter), American Animals doesn't follow the generic rules of filmmaking; it is part-documentary and part-reenactment. "Four young men mistake their lives for a movie and attempt one of the most audacious heists in U.S. history". The cast includes Barry Keoghan (Dunkirk), Evan Peters (American Horror Story), Blake Jenner (The Edge of Seventeen), Jared Abrahamson (Travelers) and Ann Dowd (The Handmaid's Tale). Disregarding the conventions of filmmaking, will American Animals be unique and stylish or muddled and pretentious?

From the studio that was sued by Sesame Street.

The Happytime Murders is directed by Brian Henson (The Muppets Christmas Carol) and written by Todd Berger (Cover Versions). Melissa McCarthy (The Heat), Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games) and Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids) star alongside the voices of Bill Barretta (The Muppets) and Dorien Davies (Julie's Greenroom). "When the puppet cast of an '80s children's TV show begin to get murdered one by one, a disgraced LAPD detective-turned-private eye puppet takes on the case". An R-rated film starring puppets? Its appeal may be niche, but does The Happytime Murders have the potential to become a cult classic?

There is no equal.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua (The Magnificent Seven), The Equalizer 2 is the sequel to the moderately successful 2014 film. As well as having the same director, Richard Wenk (The Expendables 2) returns as the writer. Denzel Washington (Fences) stars alongside Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones), Ashton Sanders (Moonlight), Orson Bean (Being John Malkovich), Bill Pullman (Independence Day) and Melissa Leo (The Fighter). "Robert McCall serves an unflinching justice for the exploited and oppressed, but how far will he go when that is someone he loves?". Four years is a long time to wait for a sequel to a merely successful film; will Fuqua's sequel capture the same spirit and style as its predecessor?

Sooner or later, your past catches up to you. 

Christopher Robin is directed by Marc Forster (World War Z) and written by Alex Ross Perry (Listen Up Philip), Tom McCarthy (Spotlight) and Allison Schroeder (Hidden Figures). Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting) and Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter) star alongside the voices of Jim Cummings (Winnie the Pooh), Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond), Nick Mohammed (The Martian), Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) and Toby Jones (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy). "A working-class family man, Christopher Robin, encounters his childhood friend Winnie-the-Pooh, who helps him to rediscover the joys of life". Next up on Disney's live-action remake list is Winnie the Pooh; will Christopher Robin be as charming as Paddington or as trashy as The Smurfs?

 The Spy Who Dumped Me is directed and co-written by Susanna Fogel (Life Partners). David Iserson (Saturday Night Live) also has a writing credit. Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon star in the action-comedy alongside Justin Theroux (The Girl on the Train), Sam Heughan (Outlander) and Ivanna Sakhno (Pacific Rim: Uprising). "Audrey and Morgan are best friends who unwittingly become entangled in an international conspiracy when one of the women discovers the boyfriend who dumped her was actually a spy". Will The Spy Who Dumped Me play more like a Bond parody than a slick spy film?

Directed and written by Stephen Susco (The Grudge), Unfriended: Dark Web is the unanticipated sequel to the 2015 'hit' Unfriended [thanks to a low budget]. This instalment brings an entirely new cast into the cyberspace of Unfriended; Colin Woodell (The Originals), Andrew Lees (The Originals), Conor Del Rio (Level Up), Rebecca Rittenhouse (The Mindy Project), Betty Gabriel (Get Out) and Stephanie Nogueras (Switched at Birth) all star. "A teen comes into possession of a new laptop and soon discovers that the previous owner is not only watching him but will also do anything to get it back". Relegated to Blumhouse Tilt, is Dark Web a sequel Jason Blum regretted green-lighting as soon as it started filming?

Chomp on this.

The Meg is directed by Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure) and written by Dean Georgaris (The Brave) and Jon and Erich Hoeber (Red). Jason Statham (Crank) stars alongside Bingbing Li (Transformers: Age of Extinction), Rainn Wilson (The Office) and Ruby Rose (Orange is the New Black). "After escaping an attack by what he claims was a 70-foot shark, Jonas Taylor must confront his fears to save those trapped in a sunken submersible". Watching Jason Statham fight a giant shark sounds great, but will it BE great?

Real heroes. Not actual size.

Ant-Man and the Wasp is directed by Peyton Reed (Ant-Man) and written by Chris McKenna (Spider-Man Homecoming), Erik Sommers (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle), Andrew Barrer (Haunt) and Gabriel Ferrari.

Evangeline Lilly (The Hobbit), Michael Douglas (Wall Street), Michael Pena (American Hustle), Michelle Pfeiffer (mother!), Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) and Walton Goggins (Tomb Raider) all co-star. "As Scott Lang balances being both a Super Hero and a father, Hope van Dyne and Dr Hank Pym present an urgent new mission that finds the Ant-Man fighting alongside The Wasp to uncover secrets from their past". Being the first MCU film post-Infinity War, how can Ant-Man and the Wasp possibly follow suit?
