Limited and Virtual Releases: Owners of a Lonely List
September 4, 2020
It is the start of the Labor Day long weekend and to celebrate, Tenet is getting the widest release since March and Mulan is becoming the biggest film to ever premiere on VOD. And perhaps most baffling of all, the Canucks are still not eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs. With all that’s happening, the limited releases are more of an afterthought this week. The Owners is the latest horror film to get a limited release this year and since horror is the only genre with a consistent record at the box office, it could do well.

Highlights
Chadwick Boseman passed away from cancer during the last weekend of August and to celebrate his life, this film is getting a limited release this weekend. It is certainly worth watching, but there are safer ways to see it than to go to a movie theater in the middle of a pandemic.
This is the only horror film on this week’s list and while its reviews are mixed, the genre is the only one that has consistently done well at the box office, so I’m cautiously optimistic about its box office chances.
