The crowded movie season will begin this weekend as studios get ready for Oscar season and hope their films catch on with awards voters. As a result this weekend will see one action film and a number of dramas.
This week a number of films will be released including a major blockbuster and one of the breakout Indie films of the year. Robin Williams' last film will also hit stores.
As the summer winds down, many films surprised at the box office powering up what was a solid season while others failed to generate interest. Reboots and sequels brought mixed results while Indie films failed to generate much buzz. Yet there was a lot to celebrate when it all ended. While there are technically two more weekends left, the films being released in the latter part of August are not expected to generate much buzz or are receiving the lush marketing campaigns that the blockbusters did. So who were the winners and losers?
Every year distributors campaign to land a Best Picture nomination with some repeatedly getting nominated every year. Others are unlikely despite big pushes and having huge films. Here is a look at five distributors that will definitely get Best Picture nominations this year.
As the summer dwindles down, the studios are releasing mid-sized blockbusters with little special effects. This weekend three different genres will compete for number one including a comedy, a horror film and a video game adaptation.

As the summer dwindles down, a number of Indie pictures will be released on DVD including Eduardo Verastegui and Alejandro Gomez Monteverde's "Little Boy."
All in all this a fun summer movie that does not break new ground. However, unlike most summer movies and recent action movies trying to create deep and emotional themes, this film is only trying to create a fun and breezy flick to entertain audiences. In that aim, it undeniably succeeds.
