Disney walked away from<br />
the Narnia franchise after the<br />
lukewarm reception to 2008’s<br />
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince<br />
Caspian, which made $141.6<br />
million domestically, but cost $225<br />
million. (Luckily foreign audiences<br />
were twice as enthusiastic and<br />
spent $278 million in ticket sales.)<br />
This follow-up about the Pevensie<br />
family’s adventures on a giant ship<br />
cost a fraction of its predecessor,<br />
but it’s based on a more popular<br />
installment of the franchise, and<br />
Fox scooped up the flick with full<br />
faith in the power of Aslan’s roar.<br />

> Andrew Jarecki’s drama doesn’t exactly<br />
accuse real-life real estate scion Robert Durst<br />
of murdering his wife in 1982—it’s cautious<br />
enough that it at least changes his name to<br />
David. But otherwise, this pedigreed drama<br />
starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst as<br />
the ill-fated couple is the indie film equivalent<br />
of O.J. Simpson’s If I Did It.<br />

Mackie (The Hurt Locker) as an exiled Black<br />
Panther returning to the hood to deal with<br />
old wounds, an old love and the tattered<br />
legacy of his gang. Between the cops still<br />
watching him and the boys on the block<br />

homecoming ain’t easy. A popular film on<br />
the festival circuit, director Tanya Hamilton’s<br />
debut flick co-stars Kerry Washington<br />
as an idealistic lawyer who holds the neighborhood<br />
together.<br />
