The Boss Baby: Family Business (known in other territories as The Boss Baby 2) is a 2021 American computer-animated comedy film loosely based on the 2010 picture book The Boss Baby and its 2016 sequel The Bossier Baby by Marla Frazee, produced by DreamWorks Animation, and distributed by Universal Pictures. The second installment in the The Boss Baby franchise and the sequel to the 2017 film, the film is directed by Tom McGrath, from a screenplay by Michael McCullers with a story by McGrath and McCullers, and stars the voices of Alec Baldwin, James Marsden, Amy Sedaris, Ariana Greenblatt, Jeff Goldblum, Eva Longoria, Jimmy Kimmel, and Lisa Kudrow. The plot follows the now-adult Templeton brothers (Baldwin and Marsden) who are brought back together after the new Boss Baby (Sedaris) requests their help to stop a professor (Goldblum) from erasing childhoods worldwide.

The Forever Purge is a 2021 American action horror film that is the fifth and final film of The Purge franchise, and serves as a direct sequel to 2016’s The Purge: Election Year. It is directed by Everardo Valerio Gout, written by series creator James DeMonaco, who also produced alongside Jason Blum and Michael Bay. The film stars Ana de la Reguera, Tenoch Huerta, Josh Lucas, Cassidy Freeman, Leven Rambin, Alejandro Edda, and Will Patton, and follows a group of ranchers who go on the run after numerous people continue committing crime after the ending of the Purge.

Zola (stylized as @zola) is a 2020 American black comedy film based on a viral Twitter thread by Aziah “Zola” King, and the resulting Rolling Stone article “Zola Tells All: The Real Story Behind the Greatest Stripper Saga Ever Tweeted” by David Kushner. Directed by Janicza Bravo, from a screenplay by Bravo and Jeremy O. Harris, it stars Taylour Paige as Zola, a part-time stripper who is convinced by her new friend (Riley Keough) to travel to Tampa, Florida in order to earn money, only to get in over her head; Colman Domingo, Nicholas Braun, and Ari’el Stachel also star.

Next week sees the release of: Black Widow and a plethora of other mainstream and independent films. Find my predictions on these releases in the weekly The Bottom Line column. A preview: Black Widow  will be Number One at the box office.
