After several years in production, Where the Wild Things Are, is poised to take the box office, for the weekend starting October 16.
The more mainstream runner up is the thriller, Law Abiding Citizen. With high-interest potential with international appeal, New York, I Love You, is a series of interconnected films. Other releases this weekend include a horror movie (The Stepfather) and 1970s throwback blaxploitation flick (Black Dynomite).
Where the Wild Things Are
A new version of the classic children's book by Maurice Sendak, about the adventures of a young boy who escapes home to enter a strange and mysterious world. Directed by Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) it stars Mark Ruffalo and Catherine Keener, with voices by James Gandolfini, Chris Cooper, and Forest Whitaker. Several years in the making, the anticipated film is imaginative and could become a classic.
