[Movie News] In Theaters This Week – October 23, 2020

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 in new releases we have a bit of variety with an adaptation of a romance novel, a supernatural horror film, and a thriller about two paramedics that discover a new drug with horrifying effects.
