The devil may continue his box office rule this weekend, considering the weak lineup of new films scheduled to debut. First is a 3D re-release of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Old flick. Yawn.

Then there’s Joyful Noise, a Queen Latifah-Dolly Parton church-based thing. Doesn’t seem like something that’ll catch on, especially since I’ve yet to spot a single trailer for it.

Finally there’s Contraband, a Mark Wahlberg drug war thriller that has him wearing a Scorpion EXO or something. I don’t know. Who pays attention to these things? Anti-War On Drugs movies happen four or five times a year as part of the Hollywood propaganda machine and all that changes is the cast, really. Yawn.

And again, it’s getting no push from the studios; I’ve seen zero trailers.

So, it looks like another ho-hum weekend. At least Underworld Awakening isn’t that far off.
