It’s been a few months since we’ve had a superhero movie, but that’s about to change this weekend! Out in theaters this weekend, we have a DC film about a man bestowed with the powers of the Egyptian gods who is ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the world, a film about influencers who travel to a reclusive billionaire’s mansion only to find themselves trapped in an evil vampire’s lair, a romcom about a divorced couple who travel to Bali to keep their daughter from making the same mistake they did, and much more!
