10 Upcoming Movies Everybody Will Watch With Hidden Agendas
Everyone's thinking it.
At the end of the day, movie studios don't really care why you watch a movie as long as do it (and pay to do so, of course).
There are few marketing tools more powerful than a beloved brand name or a talented cast and crew, and while these 10 movies are each likely to be considerable box office successes as a result, they will also see audiences flocking to cinemas with a certain set of prejudices and expectations already firmly in place.
There will of course be those more casual audiences who simply want to see attractive people playing pretend and a few neat explosions, but for film buffs at large, it'll be practically impossible to sit through these movies without a not-so-subtle hidden agenda ticking over in your head the entire time...

Why You Should Watch It: Because M. Night Shyamalan's back to making good movies again, and in being a sequel to both Unbreakable and Split, he just might end up delivering the low-key superhero threequel we never knew we wanted.
Plus, in a sea of $200 million comic book tentpoles, isn't something this "grounded" just a teensy bit refreshing?
Why You'll Actually Watch It: To see if Bruce Willis is actually capable of giving a damn anymore. He hasn't delivered a good performance since 2012's Looper - no, his Split cameo doesn't count - and Glass' trailer doesn't give a whole lot away about Willis reprising the role of David Dunn.
Will he end up being the weak link and turning in another mailed-in performance, or will he surprise everyone and actually try for the first time in seven years? It's totally up in the air, and everyone wants to know if Bruce still has it.
