Friday’s openings redux: Join the Beast in song

Update: The Magic Lantern will open no new movies on Friday. It will continue "My Life as a Zucchini," "A United Kingdom," "Lion," "The Salesman" and "Kedi."

Though two of the movies that I listed yesterday will indeed be opening in this part of the Inland Northwest on Friday, one other — "The Case for Christ" — will not. At least for the moment.

Other Friday openings that will open are as follows:

"Queen Of The Desert": Nicole Kidman portrays Gertrude Bell, a world-explorer and representative of Great Britain in this biopic. Wikipedia alert. Oh, and Werner Herzog directed, which would prove entertaining.

"Beauty And The Beast Sing-Along Event": AMC River Park Square will screen this musical version of Belle and her Beast inviting you to sing as the words flow across the screen. The showings are limited, so consider buying your tickets early. Oh, and bring a tuning fork.

"Your Name": Regal Cinemas' Northtown Mall is listing this Japanese animated film about a pair of strangers sharing a unique experience.

In addition, AMC River Park Square will bring back a second run of "Before I Fall."

Things still appear in flux, so I'll have a final lineup — including the Magic Lantern — when matters settle.
