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 sees a few new films premiering – two romance stories, a thriller about an Iranian couple trapped in a hotel, and two cops dedicated to tracking down a dangerous serial killer.
Finding You (PG)
Finley, a talented aspiring violinist, meets Beckett, a famous young movie star, on the way to her college semester abroad program in a small coastal village in Ireland.
