|
|
It would strike a blow to the big multiplex chains, which have refused to show "Roma" because Netflix offered them an exclusive play period of only three weeks; three months is the norm.

Or did the performance of Denis Villeneuve's Runner reboot just speak to the fact that not that many folks wanted to spend nearly three hours watching a moody—if stunning—sci-fi film when things are already so gloomy outside the multiplex?
|
|
Writing about the problems adapting It in the Guardian, Charles Graham-Dixon sums up this basic conflict: New Line wants a film with jump scares and other typical multiplex horror cliches, but the terror of IT has nothing to do with cheap shocks.
|

If Demian Maia is art house display of nuance and subtlety, Belfort is a multiplex blockbuster of fireball violence, and one of the virtues of knockouts—for the spectator, anyway—is that you don't have to think too hard to understand their power.
|
|
That's an expressive choice, even if it wasn't quite voluntary; there wouldn't have been space or money for three different sets in the 23-seat theater where the play is performed at the Den, a six-theater multiplex in the Wicker Park neighborhood.

|
There's no legal reason for this; it's just the policy at most movie theaters, particularly multiplex chains, in the US. And NC-17 films are rated that way for graphic sexual content or graphic violence, so many people prefer not to see them anyhow.

Even a brief stretch of obvious and self-serious Oscar bait—one relatively successful in execution (2001's Ali) and one not-as-much (the previous year's The Legend of Bagger Vance)—couldn't damage his reputation as a mass-market supernova of the multiplex.
|

And with Nier: Automata amongst this year's best in show, now's a fine time, regardless of related multiplex happenings, to check out PlatinumGames' only release of 2015, coming between the spectacular Bayonetta 2 and the studio's divisive work on Star Fox and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchises.

|
|
But few would argue that Mr. Mekas, who was often called the godfather or the guru of the New American Cinema — his name for the underground film movement of the 1950s and '60s — was the leading champion of the kind of film that doesn't show at the multiplex.
|
|
There are a lot of big blockbusters at the multiplex right now, but if you don't want to leave your apartment to go to a theater, there are still a few days left in the month to catch up on the great films that will soon be leaving the Netflix library.

The study, with the catchy title "Double Gene Targeting Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction–Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Assay Discriminates Beef, Buffalo, and Pork Substitution in Frankfurter Products," used groundbreaking DNA testing to identify which meats were actually inside 20 franks purchased at Malaysian markets, and the findings aren't the most reassuring.
|
|
Looped or linear, projected at small scale or filling a wall, Mr. McQueen's art manifests the same cool exactitude as his movies "Hunger" or "Shame," and his admirers from the multiplex ought to take the time to discover his immersive, elusive fine art in the darkened galleries of Tate Modern.
|
|
Most of the filmgoers who seek out Yorgos Lanthimos's awards contender "The Favourite" over the holiday break will see it at a multiplex, with the traditional before-feature presentation: copious trailers, commercials for the chain and perhaps a slick package of advertisements for upcoming releases packaged as "behind the scenes" content.
|
|
A fine-grain realist, he creates modest, layered worlds and identifiably true characters, filling them in with details borrowed from life rather than the multiplex: a plastic milk crate used as a planter, the pleather-esque recliners in a stereo showroom, a heart-heavy woman putting heart-shaped stickers on walls.
|
|
But any top movies list is, after all, partial to the taste of the person who constructs it, and looking over this year's films, I found myself favoring movies with a spark of risk and creativity that stood apart from the safer studio fare on offer at the multiplex most weekends.

If the Batman franchise has always been defined in part by its villains (see a multiplex near you for a current example), the central threat here proves weak, as do the mythological tie-ins to the Kanes' complicated family history, which includes Kate's dad (Dougray Scott), who oversees a private security force.
|
|
Two. A study by the Media, Diversity, and Social Change Initiative at USC's Annenberg School calls this an "invisibility crisis"—one that leads to women (and especially young women of color) seeing few reflections of themselves in pop culture, while white boys grow up seeing themselves as heroes on billboards and multiplex walls.
|
|
It reminded me of the famed videotape from The Ring — once you've seen it, you have to pass it along to somebody else, have to make them watch it, too, or else you'll be dead in a week, the movie's strange, twitching form crawling out of your local multiplex to haunt you down.

LOS ANGELES — Whether because of Veterans Day school closings, a postelection need to escape into fantasy or an unusually wide range of multiplex offerings, Hollywood had a very good weekend at the box office: Ticket sales in North America were up 47 percent compared with the same weekend last year, according to comScore.
