Forget the big Summer Alien film opening this Weekend and go see the other Indie Alien flick opening this Weekend
Attack the Block is a film that is not short on having a ton of fanboys and internet geeks supporting it. The internet has been ablaze with positive reviews and support from the online community for this directorial debut film from Joe Cornish. Attack the Block is a creative, funny, exciting, and fun alien invasion film that opens in select theaters this weekend. Keep in mind, all of those adjectives can not be used to describe the other big summer blockbuster with aliens that opens this weekend. Obviously, Cowboys and Aliens is going to make a decent amount of money this weekend, but if any film deserves your hard-earned cash on these hot summer days it would be this little film about teenage kids from South London battling furry and rampant aliens. To see if you are one of the lucky cities that the film opens in this weekend, keep reading.
Unfortunately, Attack the Block is only opening in a handful of theaters. I think that the plan is that if the film does well in these cities, that the oppurtunity to open to a wider market is highly likely. You can see the list of cities below. Here’s hoping that this film does well, because I would really love to hear this film boosting some big numbers this weekend.

Michael Haffner
Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
