News
By J. Kim Murphy According To The variety As Americans prepare to watch the election next week, they seem less inclined to watch the movies. Theaters are seeing a somewhat muted weekend to start November, with the widest new release, Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks‘ time-warping drama “Here,” now coming in behind the already slim projections it had going into the weekend.
