Friday’s openings II: Mainstream horror

The Oscars are gone and done with for another year. The effect for area moviegoers will still be reverberating on Friday, though, with both Oscar nominees and winners playing at the Magic Lantern (see post immediately below) and a second run of the winning Oscar animated feature for mainstream audiences. Friday's mainstream openings are as follows: 

"Focus" (IMAX but no 3D, regular): Will Smith plays a con man who loses his head over an attractive blond partner. Or … does he? Does anyone remember "The Sting"? Or is that expecting too much from a contemporary audience?

"Lazarus Effect": Olivia Wilde lives up to her surname by playing a medical student whose revival from certain death takes a toll on everyone around her. Where's an exorcist when we really need one?

"Big Hero 6": Disney's inflatable superhero robot returns for another run. How many Oscars has the studio that Walt built won now, anyway? More to the point, how many has it deserved?
