“Nuremberg” | October 24

“Nuremberg” depicts the real-life war crimes trials conducted by the Allies against the defeated Nazi leadership.

“Dead Man’s Wire” | October 25 – Afternoon

Gus Van Sant’s latest is the remarkable real-life tale of a notorious 1977 abduction and ransom linked to a failed business deal, where the kidnapper (Bill Skarsgård) demands compensation and an apology from the mortgage broker whose firm wronged him.

“Christy” | October 25 – Evening

In David Michôd’s inspiring biopic “Christy,” Christy Martin (Sydney Sweeney), originally from a humble West Virginia town, never envisaged life beyond it until she discovered her punching prowess. Driven by grit and determination, she enters the boxing world under her trainer and eventual husband, Jim (Ben Foster). However, while Christy’s fiery demeanor shines in the ring, her most arduous challenges await outside it—battling family issues, identity crises, and a potentially life-threatening relationship.

“The Spongebob Movie: Search for Squarepants” (world premiere) | October 26 – Afternoon

Eager to prove his mettle, SpongeBob embarks on a comic seafaring adventure following The Flying Dutchman, a ghostly pirate, in a quest to demonstrate his courage to Mr. Krabs, venturing into the ocean’s deepest reaches where no sponge has ventured before.

“Song Sung Blue” (world premiere) | October 26 – Evening

“Song Sung Blue” stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as down-on-their-luck musicians who form a Neil Diamond tribute band, proving it’s never too late to find love and follow your dreams.
