The week’s openings redux: Songs and creeds

OK, today is Wednesday — which means, oh no, that Christmas is only four days away! — and the week's movie schedule is finally settled. More or less. And it's a weird one.

Opening today: "Sing," "Passengers" and "Assassin's Creed."

Also AMC is opening a film titled "Dangal," which is a Hindi-language production based on the true story of two Indian women who were raised to wrestle and who ended up winning medals at the Commonwealth Games. Produced by Disney.

Opening Friday: "Why Him?"

Playing Saturday: Regals Cinemas' NorthTown Mall, Spokane Valley Mall and Coeur d'Alene Riverstone Stadium will screen a special showing of "It's a Wonderful Life" at both 2 and 7 p.m.

Opening Sunday (Christmas Day): "La La Land," "Fences."

So … no "Patriot's Day" or "A Monster Calls." Not, at least, this week.
