While its weekend gross fell pretty far short of its projected range, the latest Marvel film made a respectable amount of money over the weekend—certainly enough to place it well ahead of the other two new releases (this is hardly an accomplishment, however, as one is an indie film and the other opened in just enough theaters to qualify as a wide release).

This weekend could offer a chance at redemption for a somewhat fallen franchise—after the disappointment of The Last Stand and Origins: Wolverine, the X-Men films need a film to redeem them. This weekend’s sequel to Wolverine’s solo film might offer just that, and for those who aren’t very invested in the fate of this Marvel icon, there’s a quirky, risqué comedy and a coming out as well.

Review:The To Do List—Second Sex
12:42 AM 7/26/2013 by Sara Vizcarrondo
By the 90s, John Hughes had traded teen fans for family audiences, aging with the crowds who loved 16 Candles with Home Alone, consequently leaving an empty space at the multiplex for trenchant teen comedies.
