August is known to be one of the weakest months in terms of cinematic releases. The blockbuster boom is coming to an end and award season releases haven’t quite started yet. Could this August be different? Let’s see what’s new to theaters this weekend as August kicks off at the cinema.
Hobbs and Shaw
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Idris Elba, Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby
In this spin-off to the popular Fast and Furious franchise, enemies Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw (Jason Statham) must put their differences aside and team up when an anarchist gains control of a biochemical weapon that could wipe out humanity. I’ve never seen any of the Fast & Furious movies, but this is the 9th one! 9! This franchise may last for ever.
