This is it! The weekend that kicks off what we all lovingly call the holiday season. The two months between Halloween and New Years are filled with candy and family and overeating candy and avoiding family. It’s also the time of the year when the film studios pump out award contenders and their most crowd-pleasing entertainment offerings, and this week we are proud to present one from each of those categories. THE FLORIDA PROJECT kicked off this year’s New Orleans Film Festival with the passionate tale of childhood innocence set in a motel just miles from Disney World.

Last weekend brought many of you back to the theater for the first time since our little issue with the weather. It was truly humbling to see the theaters at capacity and all of your photos of our little red balloons that we snuck around the place. We hope you enjoyed our lineup last weekend and we think you’ll enjoy the three new movies that we have for you this weekend. mother! is our spotlight film for the week and it’s the newest film from Darren Aronofsky.

Before we get into this week’s announcements we’d like to take a moment to send our love and support to all of those in Texas and Louisiana being affected by Hurricane Harvey. This city knows all too well what a storm can do to a community, and we stand side by side with those who once helped us when we needed it. To aid in the recovery process, we are opening in our lobby a drop off station for supplies to be sent to Houston. Now let’s get to our new releases. TULIP FEVER is an adaptation of the best-selling novel by Deborah Moggach and has been a production with some serious Hollywood history behind it.

We absolutely love it when our guests get excited for a movie. The emails and Facebook messages start coming in from all corners of the city and the phone starts going off the hook with the same requests. The truth is, we wanted to show this movie just as much as you want us to. After a bunch of work behind the scenes, we are happy to talk about our next film. THE BIG SICK could be the breakout indie hit of the year.

This week we have a most strange and unusual situation. Our biggest movie is opening on a Wednesday instead of Friday. This gives us five glorious days to play whatever the heck we want, so we have two films for you to check out in limited release. BAND AID is the directorial debut of Zoe Lister-Jones, and as an actress known for her strong work in independent film, she has called in a murderer’s row of comedic talent for this one. It’s a tale of martial woe being solved the only way they know how, by starting a band.

This Week at The Broad: Fast Cars & Rap Stars

This Week at The Broad, we venture deeper and deeper still into the summer movie season. As the thermostat at home struggles to keep up with the scorching heat, we feature two highly-anticipated films about two wildly different worlds. ALL EYEZ ON ME is the long-awaited Tupac Shakur biopic starring Demetrius Shipp Jr. in a performance that is absolutely uncanny. Trying to portray one of the greatest rappers of all time is quite the feat, but this looks to be a film that shows all the sides to a truly complex and talented performer. CARS 3 is the latest film from Pixar, the gold standard in animation in the US.

Remember when you were a kid and your idea of fun was a cardboard tube? You can turn it into a baseball bat, a lightsaber, or even a makeshift telescope in search of buried treasure. With Memorial Day on the horizon, we want you to find your inner kid as we’re going to set our sails on a high-sea journey for adventure! PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES is the fifth film starring the unpredictable Captain Jack Sparrow.

This Week at The Broad: Choose Life. Choose Movies.

This Week at The Broad, we’ve got two new films and a slew of special events to go over so let’s get straight to the run down, shall we? T2: TRAINSPOTTING is the long awaited sequel to one of the outright classic independent films of the 90’s. Rather than the typical overdue sequel that forgets what made the original so amazing, this is a mature sequel that brings back the characters you love (led by a still-mesmerizing Ewan McGregor) with something to say about the passage of time. 20 years may have passed, but Danny Boyle and crew still know how to crank out a classic. THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS is the eighth film in a series that continues to amaze people with its continued quality.

In the somewhat lean film landscape in April, it is our mission to bring you the type of film screenings that you used to always read about happening in other cities. $2 Tuesday continues next week with the immortal martial arts classic BLOODSPORT. If you agree with us that all films are better with Jean-Claude Van Damme in them, then we expect to see you next Tuesday evening. $2 drink specials will be served as well for your responsible enjoyment. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, GET OUT, RAW, and GHOST IN THE SHELL all remain at our theater this week.

This Week at The Broad: Don’t give up cinema for Lent!

This Week at The Broad brings two new films for your post-carnival enjoyment, and they are rather different from each other to say the least. LOGAN is being described as the last Wolverine film to star Hugh Jackman. But even more than a swan song for a superhero, this is a drama that deserves respect even for those who aren’t into tights and spandex. Critics are raving not at the spectacle, but the human drama taking place in this installment in the X-Men franchise. We have a couple of sneak previews this evening, so we hope to see a few true believers in the audience. KEDI is a documentary about cats.
