Genre: Comedy
Director: Rob Greeenberg
Cast: Anna Faris, Eugenio Derbez, Eva Longoria, John Hannah, Mel Rodriguez, Swoosie Kurtz, Emily Maddison, Hannah Nordberg, Alyvia Alyn Lind

Genre: Thriller
Director: Pierre Morel
Cast: Jennifer Garner, John Gallagher Jr., John Ortiz, Juan Pablo Raba, Annie Ilonzeh, Jeff Hephner, Cailey Fleming
