The Social Reckoning
Rated M
Distributor: Sony Pictures Entertainment
Synopsis: A companion piece to the hit film The Social Network, Sorkin’s original screenplay is based on the events that gave rise to the Wall Street Journal’s shocking exposé The Facebook Files. The film is inspired by the true story of how Frances Haugen (Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz (White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.
Lomu
Rated PG
Distributor: Madman Films
Synopsis: A complex and nuanced portrait of Jonah Lomu, the most adored son of the Pacific, a legendary All Black, who transcended the game with his immense power and unstoppable determination. More than a sports biography, this documentary is a Pasifika story of identity, faith, collective responsibility and vulnerability behind legend. Jonah Lomu emerges not only as a revolutionary athlete, but as a deeply human figure whose legacy reshaped rugby, expanded representation, and changed who the game belongs to forever.
Other Mommy
Rated MA15+
Distributor: Blumhouse
Synopsis: Bela, an 8-year-old girl living in a home with marital problems, confronts a sinister entity which comes out of her closet. The presence, whom she calls “Other Mommy,” becomes increasingly threatening to her and her family.

Distributor: Kismet Movies
Synopsis: In a castle laboratory high above a little town, a Mad Professor brings monstrous creations to (almost)-LIFE™… then promptly forgets all about them. So who looks after the castle?
