Movie theaters haven’t exactly been bustling since the start of 2025 and the calendar year is about to turn in one of its most meagre frames yet. Even with two new wide releases - Paramount’s slapstick actioner “Novocaine” and Focus Features’ spy film “Black Bag” - exhibitors are in danger of a particularly beleaguered weekend,

Warner Bros’ Mickey 17 fell a hefty 60% in North America at the weekend, with estimated takings of $7.5m for the second session – losing the top spot to Novocaine. In the film’s international holdover markets, Bong Joon Ho’s dark-comedy sci-fi performed better, with a 37% drop.

This week, several new movies are coming to theaters with something for everyone to enjoy. If you’re not a huge fan of spy thrillers like Jason Bourne or the likes, have no fear, there are also comedic action movies and dramatic mysteries available to see on the big screen instead!
