What to watch in theaters and at home this weekend September 1-3, 2023
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — It's something of a slow week for new titles, but seeing as it is the first of the month, there will be plenty of catalog titles popping up on your favorite streaming services. I'll be watching the Criterion Channel's High School Horror collection featuring the streaming debut of the 4K version ofDario Argento's "Suspiria." I also plan on diving into Netflix's live action "One Piece."
Theatrically, the week sees the third and final installment in Denzel Washington's Equalizer trillogy and the well-reviewed comedy "Bottoms." I was unable to attend the "Bottoms" screening and "The Equalizer 3" wasn't screened for local critics. I liked the first two films in that series. I'll probably end up seeing both these new films.
Those who haven't watched "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem" can now do so from the comforts of home. It's now available to rent or own from you digital retailer of choice.
