You know it’s movie season again when the big-name stuff starts bumping into each other.

• Edgar Wright directs a new adaptation of Steven King’s The Running Man, supposedly playing closer to the original story than the previous one, with Glen Powell as the man trying to evade killers on camera for life-changing money, Colman Domingo as the master of ceremonies, and Josh Brolin as the executive in charge. It’s at the Somerville Theatre, Fresh Pond, Jordan’s Furniture (Imax), Boston Common (including Imax Laser & Dolby Cinema), Causeway Street, Kendall Square, the Seaport (including Dolby Atmos), South Bay (including Imax Xenon & Dolby Cinema), Assembly Row (including Imax Laser & Dolby Cinema), Arsenal Yards (including CWX), and Chestnut Hill.

Now You See Me: Now You Don’t (which should have been the title of the second film) has the “Four Horsemen” of the original movie joined by a new generation of stage magicians (whose magic seems to be mostly CGI) to take down a diamond syndicate led by Rosamund Pike with an odd accent. It plays Fresh Pond, Boston Common (including Dolby Cinema & XL), Causeway Street, the Seaport, South Bay (including Dolby Cinema), Assembly Row (including Dolby Cinema), Arsenal Yards (including CWX), and Chestnut Hill.

Also opening is Osgood Perkins’ third horror movie to be released in just over a year, Keeper, in which a couple (Tatiana Maslany & Rossif Sutherland) find themselves menaced by something haunting their rental cabin. It’s at Fresh Pond, Boston Common, Causeway Street, the Seaport, South Bay, and Assembly Row.

Nicolas Cage stars in The Carpenter’s Son, a horror film which posits that Jesus must have been a hell of a menace as a young boy with all the powers of God, playing Joseph with FKA Twigs as Mary (or maybe they’re a different couple with an all-powerful child hiding in Egypt circa 15 CE). It plays Boston Common. The Common also has one or two shows a day of Muzzle: City of Wolves, with Aaron Eckhart as a K-9 officer out for revenge on his family’s attackers, and King Ivory, with James Badge Dale as a cop tracking down fentanyl dealers (Graham Greene and Melissa Leo pick up paychecks).

There’s a re-release of Wicked at West Newton, Boston Common, Causeway Street, the Seaport, South Bay, Assembly Row, and Arsenal Yards ahead of next week’s second part, Wicked: For Good; the latter has early-access shows for Amazon Prime members at Boston Common (Imax Laser & Dolby Cinema), South Bay (Imax Xenon & Dolby Cinema), Assembly Row (Imax Laser & Dolby Cinema), and Arsenal Yards (CWX) Monday; regular early-access at Fresh Pond (3D), Boston Common (Dolby Cinema 2D & RealD 3D), Causeway Street (RealD 3D), Kendall Square (RealD 3D), South Bay (Dolby Cinema 2D & RealD 3D), Assembly Row (Dolby Cinema 2D & RealD 3D), Arsenal Yards (CWX), and Chestnut Hill (RealD 3D) on Wednesday, with double features at Fresh Pond, West Newton, Boston Common, Causeway Street, Kendall Square, the Seaport, South Bay, Assembly Row, Arsenal Yards, and Chestnut Hill on Thursday (mostly early!). There are also Dolby Cinemas early-access previews of Hamnet Sunday at Boston Common and Assembly Row; and a mystery show at Boston Common, Causeway Street, the Seaport, South Bay, and Assembly Row Monday.

Musical features include J-Hope Tour: Hope on the Stage at Boston Common, Kendall Square, the Seaport, and Assembly Row Saturday, and Dream Theater Quarantième: Live à Paris at Boston Common on Monday.

• The Coolidge Corner Theatre, Boston Common, and Kendall Square open Sentimental Value, Joachim Trier’s highly-lauded film about a director (Stellan Skarsgaard) and his actress daughter (Renate Reinsve) who have long been at odds, with an American actress (Elle Fanning) thrown into the middle of their family drama when she takes a part written for the daughter.

It’s also last call for Frankenstein on 35mm at the Coolidge, with the last shows on screen #1 on Sunday. The weekend’s “M. Night at Midnight” screenings are Unbreakable on Friday and Split on Saturday; they also continue Noirvember with Odds Against Tomorrow (Odie Henderson seminar) on Sunday and Human Desire (Alex Kittle discussion) on Tuesday. Sunday morning’s Geothe-Institut German film is high-concept drama What Marielle Knows, in which a daughter develops the ability to read the thoughts of her parents, whose relationship is already nearing a breaking point; Sunday’s Science on Screen show of Magnificent Obsession features Harvard’s Dr Eric Pierce discussing treatments for blindness; and Thursday features the Thanksgiving Season’s first show of Planes, Trains & Automobiles early with Cult Classic Harold and Maude later.

• Landmark Kendall Square opens Taiwanese film Left-Handed Girl (part of their monthly Netflix four-pack), in which a single mother and her daughters move back to the city and clash with her father over his archaic ideas about one daughter being a southpaw.

Another granddaughter/grandfather picture opening at Kendall Square is Trifole, in which a young woman connects with her grandfather in a section of Italy famous for its truffles. It’s also at Boston Common.

Tuesday’s John Hughes movie at the Kendall is Uncle Buck.

• Apple Fresh Pond opens Hindi-language romantic comedy De De Pyaar De 2, where the couple with a major age gap from the first film (Ajay Devgn & Rakul Preet Singh) meet the younger women’s parents for the first time. Also opening is Tamil-language drama Kaantha (for which Fresh Pond also has Telugu-language shows, though it may be the other way around), in which a director and his protege find their relationship becoming tense during the 1950s. Telugu-language thriller ARI (My Name Is Nobody) plays Saturday & Monday. Fresh Pond also holds over Hindi-language courtroom drama Haq; Telugu-language college drama The Girlfriend continues at Causeway Street.

The week’s Ghibli Fest entry is The Boy and the Heron, playing Boston Common, Assembly Row Saturday/Sunday/Wednesday (dubbed) and Monday/Tuesday (subtitled). There’s a tenth-anniversary “Last Night to Log In event” for anime Overlord on Monday at Boston Common, the Seaport, Assembly Row. Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc continues at Fresh Pond, Boston Common, Causeway Street (including RealD 3D), South Bay, and Assembly Row (including RealD 3D), in both subtitled and dubbed shows across most formats/locations. Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, continues at Boston Common.

Filipino family drama Meet, Greet & Bye opens at Boston Common.

• The Brattle Theatre kicks the weekend off with a 35mm print of A Swingin’ Summer for the Friday Film Matinee, and the print is apparently degrading quickly enough that it will be retired afterward.

They also serve as home base for Wicked Queer Docs from Friday to Monday, kicking off with A Deeper Love: The Story of Miss Peppermint Friday night, with both director Oriel Pe’er and Miss Peppermint herself on hand.

They also kick off their second Noirvember series - “Neo-Weirdo Noir” - featuring Blade Runner (Final Cut) (Friday), Who Framed Roger Rabbit (35mm matinees Saturday/Sunday), Angel Heart (Sunday), Darkman (35mm Monday), while the Film Noir in the 50s Series continues with The Killing & Sweet Smell of Success on Tuesday on and The Crimson Kimono & Touch of Evil, the former in 35mm, on Thursday. On Wednesday, they host the premiere of The Donn of Tiki, with directors Alex Lamb & Max Well on hand to discuss their documentary about Donn Beach, inventor of the tiki bar and larger-than-life (by his own effort) figure.

• The Seaport Alamo has Glass Onion Friday afternoon, The Lighthouse (movie party Friday, regular show Tuesday), and a set of restored Gumby cartoons (Saturday/Sunday).
• The Capitol Theatre has Capitol 100 screenings of E.T. The Extra Terrestrial Friday night and Terms of Endearment Sunday afternoon. Indie hip-hop thriller Boxcutter plays Wednesday afternoon. There’s also a big 4th Wall second anniversary show on Saturday with Mobius Trip, Sawtooth, and All the World’s Gems, apparently Sonic the Hedgehog-inspired, and a music video premiere of Adios Fatso’s “Gorpo, Not Again!” with special guests Weatherman and State of Nature on Wednesday evening.

The Somerville Theatre has likely their final 70mm show of One Battle After Another on Thursday afternoon, and continues playing Bugonia on 35mm film.

• Boston Turkish Festival’s Documentary/Shorts Competition is at Boston University’s GSU Auditorium Friday and Sunday, with screenings packed one on top of another both afternoons, somehow overlapping if the schedule is correct.
• The Harvard Film Archive has another weekend packed full of “Columbia 101: The Rarities” shows, mostly on 35mm film: William Castle’s Mysterious Intruder Friday evening, Ladies in Retirement later that night and Sunday evening, Gunman’s Walk Saturday evening (DCP), Thunderhoof later that night, and a twin bill of Vanity Street and Three Wise Girls (both just over an hour) Monday night. They also have two matinees from the Gore Vial in film series - Suddenly, Last Summer Saturday afternoon (rescheduled from a month ago) and The Best Man Sunday afternoon.,
• The Boston Jewish Film Festival finishes its in-person leg with Fantasy Life at the Somerville on Saturday, plus Disposable Humanity and Mainteance Artist at The Museum of Fine Arts on Sunday, but a number of selections will be available to stream starting Monday.
• The Regent Theatre has a pair of Mid-Week Musical Movies this week: Life on the Other Planet, “the definitive history of the greatest era in Boston Rock”, plays on Wednesday with filmmaker Vincent Straggas on hand for post-film discussion with Boston Rock historian Jeffrey Melnick and a number of the subjects; on Thursday, they show a documentary of the Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame Inaugural Induction Ceremony with a Q&A and panel discussion afterward.
• The Museum of Science has two free screenings of Prey on the Omnimax screen Saturday as part of their Native American Heritage celebration - I think it’s the only time Dan Trachtenberg’s first foray into the Predator universe as played the big screen here!
• The Lexington Venue is open all week but Monday with Nuremberg, Blue Moon (no shows Thursday), and Springsteen (ends Sunday). There are free matinee screenings of They Were Expendable on Saturday and Sergeant Rutledge on Sunday.

The West Newton Cinema has the Wicked re-release and continues Train Dreams, It Was Just an Accident (“Behind the Screen” show Sunday), Nuremberg, Bugonia, Nouvelle Vague, Blue Moon, and Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere. Short film “The Slowest Stampede on Earth” shows as part of a Turtle Survival Alliance fundraiser on Saturday, and The Florida Project plays Thursday.

Cinema Salem once again has Predator: Badlands, Nuremberg, One Battle After Another, and Bugonia from Friday to Monday. Friday’s Night Light show is Into the Void; they’ve got Rocky Horror with Teseracte Saturday night (Full Body, as always, at Boston Common); and the Wednesday Noirvember lassic is Flamingo Road, with a Weirdo Wednesday show down the hall.

From last week’s glut of out-of-town releases, only Grand Prix of Europe remains, at Showcase Dedham, Patriot Hingham, and the Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers. Hidden War opens at the Liberty Tree Mall, which also has encores of Angel’s Egg on Wednesday & Thursday.

Okay, I just RSVPed for Prey tickets before posting, and also figure to check out The Running Man, The Carpenter’s Son, and maybe Left Handed Girl and Triolfe, hopefully fitting more convention noir in among Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Darkman (plus, hopefully, some Columbia rarities).
