The Book of Henry An intrepid kid teams up with his mother to protect the girl next door from her wicked stepfather. Which is far afield of my own personal philosophy of neighborliness: If you're not bringing potato salad, mind your own damn business. (PG-13)
Cars 3 The third installment in Pixar's automotive franchise includes never-before-heard dialogue by the late Paul Newman. And that's great news if you've ever wanted to hear him say, "This is going straight to video, right?" (G)

The Mummy By the time you read this, one or two Americans may still be interested in seeing the DOA first foray into Universal's announced series of monster reboots. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. may be backing off from its threat to sue Uni for ownership of the "Dark Universe" imprint – because, in the immortal words of George Carlin, "It's bad luck to hit a guy like that." (PG-13)
My Cousin Rachel Rachel Weisz takes the lead role in an adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's novel about a woman who may be using sinister and erotic means to advance her fortunes. Hey, it beats working at Red Robin. (PG-13)
