Dog Man

Dog Man is a family-friendly tale that tells the story of a police dog and his human officer who get injured on the job and, through a life-saving surgery, are fused together into one dog-man hybrid. Together, they work to stop their feline foe, Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson).

Companion

This twisted, fantasy love story between Iris (Sophie Thatcher) and Josh (Jack Quaid) takes an unexpected turn when Iris discovers that she is a rented sex bot — but she'll stop at nothing to get Josh's love.

Companion releases in theaters on Jan. 31.

You’re Cordially Invited

You're Cordially Invited stars Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon as foes who are both trying to get their daughter and sister, respectively, married at the same place at the same time, due to a booking mishap.

Chaos ensues and the two ultimately assure mutual destruction as their fight escalates (and somehow an alligator is involved?).

Manhunt: O.J. Simpson

Simpson may have been acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1994, but the world is still enthralled by the investigation.
