Both wide releases on Friday are sequels. Warner Bros. is set to release “The Nun II” and Universal will be distributing “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3” in over 300 places apiece.

Trinity CineAsia is commencing the screening of the Chinese blockbuster film titled “No More Bets,” whereas Studiocanal is presenting the highly acclaimed film “Past Lives.” Munro is set to release a documentary titled “Man on the Run,” which delves into the 1MDB saga.

In the present scenario, the continued existence of the esteemed Curzon Mayfair cinema in London is facing a precarious situation. The lease agreement for the venue is set to terminate in March 2024, and the landlord has expressed intentions to terminate the venue’s tenancy at the location. In September and October, the cinema will be presenting a curated selection of films that have previously garnered significant acclaim at the venue. This program includes notable works such as Fellini’s “La Dolce Vita” and Tarkovsky’s “Solaris.”

Commencing the endeavors to preserve the cinema, a 4K restoration of Max Ophuls’ “La Ronde” is being initiated. This film enjoyed an uninterrupted exhibition at Curzon Mayfair for a duration of 76 weeks, spanning from April 1951 to October 1952.
