In Theaters: GLASS, DRAGON BALL SUPER - BROLY, ADULT LIFE SKILLS and THE STANDOFF AT SPARROW CREEK

The only new wide release hitting theaters this week is M. Night Shyamalan's "Glass", the final chapter in the filmmaker's surprise "Unbreakable" trilogy. The film has received mostly mixed reviews from critics but an enthusiastic reception from moviegoers, becoming another one of those divisive films that critics hate and audiences love. It's also poised to make a killing at the box-office with pundits expecting a debut between $40 and $50 million. It has already delivered a solid $3.7 million from Thursday night previews.

Another interesting release is the animated film "Dragon Ball Super: Broly", which opened as a special event on Wednesday and brought in $7 million in just one day. The film will be available in limited release for the rest of the holiday weekend. The reception from both critics and audiences has been positive.

Other limited releases include the British dramedy "Adult Life Skills" starring Jodie Whittaker, and the thriller "The Standoff at Sparrow Creek" starring James Badge Dale.

Synopses, details, critical/audience reception, trailers, and more after the jump.
