Every other week, Gildshire brings you movie previews for the shows that are opening that weekend. It’s one of our favorite features and one that our readers anticipate. But, what about the off-week? Are there any much-anticipated movies during those weeks? Don’t we care about movies during the week where there is no preview?
We swear by the name of D.W. Griffith, may that never be said!
A little over the top? Perhaps, but your friends at Gildshire are all about the movies, all the time. Today, we looked ahead in time, beyond the next weekend. What are the upcoming films that are exciting us, and turning our AMC A-List card a glowing red from the thrill of it all? Let’s have a look. The movies list in order of release date.
