In an attempt to capitalize on the momentum created by last week’s better-than-expected box office turnout, this week Hollywood is serving up some big-name celebs and movies which appeal to every demographic.

The movie opening this week with perhaps the most buzz is Disney’s High School Musical 3: Senior Year. The film is the latest installment in the wildly-popular High School Musical franchise and the first to open in theaters. Featuring young Hollywood superstars Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale, the film follows everyone’s favorite East High Wildcats as they celebrate their senior year and come to terms with their uncertain futures through medium of musical theater. The movie is rated G and you can expect any family with kids and teens to be lining up to see their favorite high schoolers on the big screen.

Also opening this week is Saw V which, aside from being another sequel from a mega-popular franchise, has little in common with High School Musical. With the tag line for the film being “You Won’t Believe How it Ends,” fans of the previous Saw installments can count on more of the stuff they enjoyed in the previous movies. The film stars Tobin Bell as Jigsaw and Costas Mandylor as forensics expert Mark Hoffman. Saw V is rated R, for obvious reasons, but Lionsgate hopes that crowds looking to get into the Halloween spirit once again reward Saw’s unique brand of torture porn.

For those looking to combine the Halloween spirit with some family-friendly Disney fare, The Nightmare Before Christmas is being re-released in 3D this weekend.

Those more in the mood for a cop drama can catch the opening of Pride and Glory this week, bringing with it emotion, violence and two of Hollywood’s most talented leading men. Edward Norton and Colin Farrell star in this Gavin O’Connor-directed film, which focuses on the lives of a family of New York City police officers. Norton’s character, Ray Tierney, is given the dubious task of investigating a police scandal which centers around his own brother-in-law, Jimmy Egan, played by Farrell. With all of the family drama mixed in with the action and dirty cops the rated-R film may appeal to a broader audience than your typical cop movie.

A big name star is returning to theaters this week in a surprisingly buzz-free independent film. Anne Hathaway, coming off of her recent critically-acclaimed role in Rachel Getting Married, stars as a doctor rather than a patient in Passengers, which is opening in limited release. Hathaway portrays Claire Summers, a grief counselor assigned to work with the ten survivors of a recent plane crash. As the therapy sessions go on, Claire begins a relationship with the most mysterious of her patients, Eric, played by Patrick Wilson. When the rest of the group begins to mysteriously disappear and Eric starts displaying unexplainable abilities, Claire must try to discover the truth surrounding the circumstances of the crash.  Passengers is rated PG-13.

Other indies opening this weekend include I've Love You So Long, a French film featuring an Oscar-buzz generating performance by Kristen Scott Thomas as a woman who's been recently released to her younger sister's care following a 15-year prison sentence and Synecdoche, New York, which is directed by acclaimed writer Charlie Kaufman.

Also opening in limited release is the Clint Eastwood-directed Angelina Jolie-vehicle Changeling, which hopes to build its buzz for its wide release next week.
