Of the titles opening this week a couple of horrors have the highest profile. Alexandre Aja’s Halle Berry-starring Never Let Go and Coralie Fargeat’s NZIFF closer The Substance, featuring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid, go head to head. As always, huge thanks to Numero for the data that powers our box office reports.
