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.
Some areas have seen restrictions loosen, which means some theaters are tentatively reopening. This week’s releases bring the directorial debut of Viggo Mortensen, a film about war photographer W. Eugene Smith, two romantic films, and more!
