Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin star in “Brothers” as the titular brothers who are known thieves. Their lives get turned around when their estranged mother reappears in their lives.

“Smile 2”
Coming out of nowhere in 2022, the small horror “Smile” was a runaway box office hit for filmmaker Parker Finn. With a modest budget reportedly under $20 million, the film would go on to earn $217 million worldwide. Naturally, Paramount fast-tracked a sequel, and “Smile 2,” which features plenty of people with creepy grins, is now upon us. Now starring Naomi Scott as a Taylor Swift-esque pop star who is being stalked by the scary entity, she’s joined in the cast by Rosemarie DeWitt, Kyle Gallner, and Lukas Gage.
Release Date: October 18 via Paramount Pictures.
