You would think that given the release calendar for 2014 is still pretty wide open, studios wouldn't be crowding their major tentpoles close together, but already, March of that year is looking like it's going to be a wrestling match of competing films. And showdowns don't get much bigger than Tom Cruise vs. Angelina Jolie.
Warner Bros. has set the Doug Liman directed "All You Need Is Kill" for a March 14, 2014 release pitting it against the fairy tale reimagining "Maleficent." Granted, one is a family oriented Disney movie and the other a futuristic sci-fi action flick, but Tom and Angelina on the same weekend? Someone is gonna blink and move. March 21st is still open somewhat, with Summit's YA effort "Divergent" slated, though March 28th brings with it Darren Aronofsky's "Noah." Meanwhile, the first weekend of the month is pegged for Sony's disaster movie "Invertigo."
Will Deadpool and Wolverine end the MCU losing streak?
Deadpool & Wolverine wakes up the superhero genre with a swift kick to the taint.
The Beast Within asks if the beast is a mask or the true form.
That should be an interesting weekend opener. I myself want to see both but I'm pretty sure I'll see the one with Angelina Jolie first.
