The films in the Top Ten that opened this weekend at the box office:

Dumbo is a 2019 American fantasy film directed by Tim Burton, with a screenplay written by Ehren Kruger. The film is inspired by Walt Disney’s 1941 animated film of the same name, based on the novel by Helen Aberson and Harold Pearl. The film stars Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Eva Green, and Alan Arkin, and follows a family that works at a failing traveling circus as they encounter a baby elephant with extremely large ears who is capable of flying.

Plans for a live-action film adaption of Dumbo were announced in 2014 and Burton was confirmed as director in March 2015. Much of the cast signed on in March 2017 and principal photography began in July of that year in England, lasting until November. It is the first of four remakes that Disney is planning to release in 2019, along with Aladdin, The Lion King, and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

Unplanned is a 2019 American Christian drama film written and directed by Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon, based on the memoir of the same name by Abby Johnson. The film stars Ashley Bratcher, Brooks Ryan, Robia Scott, Jared Lotz, and Emma Elle Roberts, and follows the true story of Abby Johnson, a Planned Parenthood employee who has a life-changing experience.

The Beach Bum is a 2019 American comedy film written and directed by Harmony Korine. The plot follows the misadventures of Moondog (Matthew McConaughey), a rebellious burnout who only knows how to live life by his own rules. Snoop Dogg, Isla Fisher, Zac Efron, Jimmy Buffett, Martin Lawrence and Jonah Hill also star.

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