This week in theaters we have only one new wide release, and that's Universal's "The Huntsman: Winter's War". The film's been slammed by the critics, but it'll probably do okay at the box-office. In limited release we have the comedy "Elvis & Nixon", the fantasy film "Tale of Tales" and the dramedy "The Meddler". More about each movie after the jump.
