A pair of music documentaries and a live concert from Jin of BTS on his first solo tour join indie animation, a searing look at Sudan, a serial killer horror and Kristin Scott Thomas’ directorial debut at the specialty box office as independents spot another window with fewer new studio releases. Roman Polanski’s 2019 historical drama on the Dreyfus Affair opens in New York.
The widest this weekend is Roadside Attractions’ horror-thriller Strange Harvest written and directed by Stuart Ortiz on 771 screens. Detectives are thrust into a chilling hunt for “Mr. Shiny,” a sadistic serial killer from the past whose return marks the beginning of a new wave of grotesque, otherworldly crimes tied to a dark cosmic force. Stars Peter Zizzo, Terri Apple, Andy Lauer, Matthew Peschio, Janna Car
