Headhunters” | Monday, Jan. 1

The Norwegian action thriller is the highest-grossing film in its country’s history.

Eighth Grade” | Saturday, Jan. 13

Elsie Fisher stars (and shines) in her breakthrough role as Kayla, a teen girl just trying to survive the last week of her disastrous eighth-grade year before leaving to start high school, opposite Josh Hamilton, Emily Robinson, Jake Ryan, Cathrine Oliviere, Luke Prael, Daniel Zolghadri, Fred Hechinger, Imani Lewis, and more.
