New Movies In Theaters Feb 22nd - Rotten Tomatoes

There are only two new wide releases this week and neither is expected to be better than a mediocre box office performer. (Big-time movies are never released to compete with the Oscar telecast.)

* Snitch (2500 theaters, 63% positive reviews) is a PG-13 action pic starring The Rock. It will take in about $15 million, which may or may not be good enough to win the weekend.

* Dark Skies (2400 theaters) is a supernatural thriller starring Keri Russell. It has not been pre-screened for critics. It could finish anywhere from second to sixth because it is expected to gross about $10M and four of the holdovers are expected to be in the same general range.
