Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.
This Past Weekend:
Another bad weekend where nothing really popped, which is bad news for a month at the box office where only Clint Eastwood’s Sully exceeded any expectations. Tim Burton’s new film Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children came out just below my predictions with $29 million, but the Mark Wahlberg-Peter Berg disaster flick Deepwater Horizon was right around where I predicted with $20.2 million. The comedy Masterminds tanked with just $6.5 million for the weekend to end up in sixth place while Disney’s The Queen of Katwe did slightly better than predicted with $2.5 million.
The first full weekend in October has a good deal of competition from the release of the video game Mafia III to the...

Actress, marathon runner, charity organiser and self-confessed workaholic, Tanna Frederick is an extraordinarily accomplished woman who still seems slightly bashful when talking about it. A co-founder of the Iowa Independent Film Festival, she often travels on the festival circuit, where she’s picked up a couple of Best Actress awards, and divides the rest of her working life between independent films and the stage. We catch up just after she’s wrapped on Ovation, a sequel to 2010 indie hit Queen Of The Lot. She’s still buzzing about the shoot, which re-united her with star James Denton and assorted friends.
“Tomorrow I go back on the boards,” she tells me, having barely had a day to recover. “We’ve been running a play called Rainmaker. It opened to great reviews. It’s fantastic doing theatre in Los Angeles again.”
The play has been running since January, but Tanna recently had two weekends off.
