This week there are six new movies being released. Two of them are opening everywhere on Wednesday, August 6th and four are in limited release.
Opening Nationwide on Wednesday, August 6th:
Movie: Pineapple Express (R)

Genre: Action Comedy

First Thoughts: Not sure about this one, but most likely will be seeing it on Friday. The situation may be kind of new, but the comedy seems to be pumping a well that has to be pretty dry by now.
