Weekly Roundup #2

Every Friday, we're taking a look at the film and television posters released over the past week. Enjoy! 
Simple. Classic. Perfect. 
Not sure why Divergent is still a thing. (I mean, an action series needs either positive critical reception or major financial success to function, and they've got neither.) But anyway, here's some attractive people posing with cool weapons and floaty stuff in the background. Very creative
This poster may give you the urge to turn your screen (or your head) upside-down in order to see all of the characters, but it perfectly encapsulates the film's zany nature. 
I never saw this reboot coming, but it seems pretty obvious now; all the sci-fi classics of the 70s, 80s, and 90s (Star Wars, Alien, Blade Runner, Independence Day, etc.) are returning to theaters these days. The Predator isn't a very creative name, but it's certainly better than Predator: Spawn of the Dead or Predator: The Last Hunt
In order to make us forget about the mistakes of its predecessor, Now You See Me 2 is using the highly effective Tri-Freeman strategy, in which it triples its already-substantial quantity of Morgan Freeman. 
Uh-oh, there's no way he's getting out of this one! 
A little boy and a big, green, fuzzy dragon. As a teaser poster, this works pretty well. 
"Who will win"? If recent reports can be trusted, Warner Bros. will be the biggest loser here. But you've gotta give them credit; Batman v. Superman is chock full of other major DC characters (Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, etc.), and yet the posters have consistently shown only the central conflict of the film. Very minimalistic, very effective. 

Which poster is your favorite? Tell me in the comments, and feel free to subscribe.
