‘Mama Weed’ starring Isabelle Huppert, is also opening in France.
France, opening Wednesday September 9
The French box office appeared to be on route to recovery in the first week of September thanks to the launch of Tenet and a wider range of titles on release generally. It now remains to be seen if this momentum can be sustained with further US studio releases remaining elusive and the country on high alert following a spike in Covid-19 cases.

There is something rather charming about Dreambuilders, the new feature from Hydralab animation studio and director Kim Hagen Jensen. It is a shamelessly derivative patchwork of locations, character arcs and story beats borrowed from elsewhere but there is a sweetness about the film which inclines us to cut it some slack.
Minna and her father have built a happy life together, both a little bruised by the absence of Minna’s musician mum who left many years before to follow her dreams. The two have fallen into familiar patterns which punctuate their days; they dance together in the kitchen to the sounds of a Mariachi band and play endless games of chess.
In her dreams, however, a more unsettled Minna is revealed. Change is coming to her cosy household and the big-hearted little girl fears the havoc it will wreak. Behind the scenes her dream-builder, Gaff (Luke Griffin), is concerned...

Stuttgart-based sales company Sola Media is moving into production with a new animated feature as the company seeks to take a more active role in development.
The firm has boarded the CGI animated feature “Dreambuilders,” directed by Kim Hagen Jensen and produced by Nynne Selin Eidnes of Copenhagen-based First Lady Film. Sola Media managing director Solveig Langeland is executive producing.
“Dreambuilders” centers on Minna, a young girl who misuses her newfound ability to create and control other people’s dreams to teach her bothersome stepsister a lesson. When her stepsister can no longer wake up, Minna has to enter the dream world to save her.
“Thematically, the project is akin to films like ‘Coraline,’ ‘Spirited Away’ and ‘Inception,’” according to Jensen. “It will be characterized by unreal, bizarre dream sequences which form a sharp contrast to Minna’s dull everyday life.”
The film’s look combines the style French graphic...
