🎥In Theaters This Week🎥
★ Montana Mavericks
(Tues, Aug. 26th & Wed, Aug. 27th — limited engagement)
Heather (Katherine McNamara, Walker: Independence), a bestselling NYC author with a bad case of writer’s block and a looming deadline, thinks a quick trip to Montana to offload her newly inherited family ranch will solve her problems. But when she and her two best friends arrive, they find the place in shambles—and a swoon-worthy cowboy vet named Cliff (Dennis Andres) next door who’s as rugged as he is romantic. As sparks fly and city slicker ideals clash with cowboy charm, Heather might just find inspiration—and love—under the big sky. This is the first of six original CW movies based on the best-selling Harlequin romantic novels by Elle Kennedy.
★ Caught Stealing
(Fri, Aug. 29th — wide release)
New York’s the city that never sleeps... and never forgives. In Darren Aronofsky’s ‘90s-set romp, Austin Butler plays Hank Thompson, a washed-up baseball prodigy whose simple favor for a punk-rock neighbor (Matt Smith) spirals into a survival sprint through the city’s ethnic underworld. With Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, Liev Schreiber, Bad Bunny, and Carol Kane rounding out the chaos, Aronofsky trades his usual doom-and-gloom for a Coen-esque crime caper filled with madcap energy, a house cat, and a whole lot of people Hank really shouldn’t have crossed.
★ The Roses
(Fri, Aug. 29th — wide release)
Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch square off in a brutally funny breakup brawl where romance curdles, insults fly, and divorce turns into all-out war.

★ A Little Prayer
