It’s not always easy to find out which movies hit theaters each week, especially after the Hollywood strikes led to many release date changes. With the WGA and actors strikes resolved and summer blockbusters starting to roll in, May and June are filled with both big budget flicks and new indie releases.
Premiering May 31 is IFC’s “In a Violent Nature,” which follows a vengeful spirit’s bloody journey through the woods to retrieve his 60-year-old corpse starring Ry Barrett, Andrea Pavlovic, Cameron Love and Reece Presley. Also hitting theaters is “Summer Camp,” a comedy about three childhood friends who attempt to recapture their memories spent together at summer camp starring Kathy Bates, Diane Keaton, Alfre Woodard and Beverly D’Angelo. Two films getting limited releases this week are Disney’s “Young Woman and the Sea,” a biopic about Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel starring Daisy Ridley, and “Flipside,” a documentary about a man’s attempt to save a New Jersey record store while confronting a mid-life crisis. Keep an eye out for Sony Pictures’ “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” and “The Watchers” which both release next week.
Check back each week to find the latest releases in theaters, from major wide releases to niche independent titles.
