Movies Opening This Weekend – July 20th [videos]

Lily James, Amanda Seyfried, Denzel Washington, John Hurt, Bill Pullman, and Meryl Streep are all on the silver screen this weekend, as Hollywood delivers a few blockbusters for the whole family to enjoy. There are two blockbusters this weekend, one the sequel to the surprise hit ‘Mamma Mia!’ called ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’ which picks up where the original left off, the other the suspenseful Denzel Washington sequel to the film ‘The Enforcer’ called ‘The Equalizer 2’ that will have you cheering for the good guys.

Our pick of the week is a documentary that pulls back the curtain on wealth and the people that call themselves super rich. ‘Generation Wealth’ is like a car accident, you won’t be able to turn away due to amazement.
