Next weekend keeps the trend going as it is another busy one. five new films open wide. The Ewan McGregor starring, “The Shining” sequel, “Doctor Sleep” is projected to open on top while the War World 2 action drama “Midway,” the romantic comedy “Last Christmas,” the Nickelodeon family comedy “Playing with Fire,” and Chinese film, “Better Days” all look to compete for audiences.
