There are two major new releases this week, both of which began screening early in cinemas throughout Preston.
Now You See Me: Now You Don’t is the long-awaited third entry in the popular series starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco. The Four Horsemen return, and this time, they are joined by a new generation of magicians.
Glen Powell stars in The Running Man. Based on the popular sci-fi dystopian novel by Stephen King, this action-packed story sees a man compete in a game of cat and mouse that will see him go to extraordinary lengths to survive and win.
Keeper is also landing in local cinemas this week. A supernatural horror film starring Tatiana Maslany as a couple’s romantic trip away turns into something much more sinister.
Nuremberg is a psychological thriller starring Russell Crowe, Michael Shannon and Rami Malek. The film follows a World War II psychiatrist who interviews Nazi leaders ahead of the Nuremberg trials.
This week, Vue is also shutting its doors briefly in order to install their brand new Ultra Luxe seats. Fortunately, they will be open again from the 18th, ahead of the release of Wicked: For Good.
