Mrs. Henderson Presents. (R, 103 minutes, 2005, trailer) This well-reviewed film makes its way to the local arthouse cinema. It stars Dame Judi Dench as Laura Henderson, a recently widowed woman seeking to remain active in society. She revives a London theater during WWII, and while achieving early success, it quickly wanes. She changes her business, posing naked actresses as living art, she sees a boom in business, becoming an oasis for soldiers during the war. Dench costars with Bob Hoskins. It was directed by Stephen Frears of Dangerous Liasions fame.

Also opening this week, but not near me:

  • Deep-Sea 3D
  • Joyeux Noel
  • Our Band is Crisis

Box Office Predictions. Let's see if I can do better than last week.

  1. Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion. I vastly underestimated this last week, will it have the legs to be the first repeat number 1 of the year?
  2. 16 Blocks. This looks to be a high energy film, and Bruce can still open a film, I think. Anyway, this looks like fun, so I hope it does well.
  3. Eight Below. A delightful family movie, this turned out to be a real surprise. I hope it continues to do well.
  4. The Pink Panther. For some reason, this is showing some legs. This is not a good movie.
  5. Ultraviolet. I wish this well, but I think this will probably be as high as it goes.
  6. Aquamarine. This doesn't seem to have a terribly extensive ad campaign, but I am sure people will find it.
  7. Date Movie. As bad as this movie is, I am sure people will still be out to see it.
  8. Firewall. Running out of options, but this will still be around.
  9. Dave Chappelle's Block Party. Could this be the first documentary to crack the top ten? Will Dave's fans find him on the big screen?
  10. Running Scared. I really enjoyed this, I hope it clings on for at least another week.

What are you seeing this week?
