Many theaters are still not open in the US. Some have had to close again due to health restrictions being put back in place or simply due to a lack of people coming in. While many big-name movies are pushing their release dates back even further, or choosing to premiere overseas first, a number of movies are still determined to make their way to theaters.
This week, we have trio of new movies out – a writer who goes back to her alma mater and becomes highly involved in the lives of a group of students there, a film about an artist who travels to Italy to sell the house left behind by his late wife, and a Korean zombie film that is the follow-up to Train to Busan.
