This week, we have two R-rated comedies, very different movies, both of them trying to make some money before the summer movie season gives the box office a much-needed kick in the ass. First off, there's Michael Bay's Pain & Gain (Paramount), starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson as Miami bodybuilders on a crime spree and the ensemble comedy The Big Wedding (Lionsgate), starring Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Diane Keaton, Katherine Heigl,Amanda Seyfried and Topher Grace.

I also have a very important message about something that's happened to the Weekend Warrior that might affect the timeliness and other aspects of the column, but hopefully not.

We're jumping ahead to late June as we look at the second half of the month when schools are starting to let out and more people have free time to kill by going to the movies. On June 14, Warner Bros. will be opening Man of Steel, directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan, and while we have no doubt in our minds the movie is going to open big and do a lot of business over the course of the summer, it has a lot of movies opening on its tail.

One week later, we get the latest from Disney•Pixar and their third sequel Monsters University, the follow-up to the 2001 animated hit Monsters Inc., while Brad Pitt stars in the apocalyptic thriller World War Z, based on Max Brooks' popular series of novels. A week after that, on June 28, Roland Emmerich returns with White House Down, an invasion movie starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx, which will take on the comedy pairing of Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy in The Heat.

So the question is whether the month of June can handle so many big movies, particularly when you have a Pixar sequel opening a week after the first Superman movie in seven years?

We’re edging closer to the summer movie season where people actually want to go see movies and after a slower weekend with a surprise #1 that should hold up well based on strong word-of-mouth, we have a new sci-fi action thriller Oblivion (Universal Pictures), starring Tom Cruise that will try to kick the summer off early.

This week’s "CHOSEN ONE" is the documentary Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay (Kino Lorber), Molly Bernstein and Alan Edelstein’s look at the veteran sleight-of-hand magician and magic historian Ricky Jay

On Wednesday April 17, the 12th Annual Tribeca Film Festival kicks into high gear with the Opening Night Gala Mistaken for Strangers and over the next 11 days, New York City is going to be the film hub of the country as various theaters in Tribeca, Chelsea and the East Village are packed with dramas, comedies, thrillers, documentaries and short films, many which haven't been seen elsewhere.

We're going to focus on the movies getting their World Premieres at Tribeca, which is actually a huge number of movies. While we're not sure how many of these we'll have a chance to see, we've chosen 18 movies playing at Tribeca looking for distribution and hopefully getting enough audience support that they'll eventually be released theatrically.

It's become a grand tradition here at ComingSoon.net for us to go to Las Vegas for the annual exhibitors convention formerly called ShoWest and now called CinemaCon. For the third year in a row, Caesar's Palace is the home for CinemaCon and as in past years, hundreds of exhibitors and theater owners will gather to find out what the studios have to offer their audiences over the next few months.

As usual, we've gotten there a bit early to check out the posters on display, some of which you can see below and others you can check out in our 2013 CinemaCon Gallery.

Not much to say about this weekend except that we're reaching the dregs of the spring movie season where studios dump some last minute movies they usually don't expect to fare too well before the summer comes along. Of course, one of the movies is the fifth installment of a comedy franchise that did very well with an April release and the other movie is a baseball film so maybe they'll both beat the odds.

This week's offerings are the spoof comedy Scary Movie 5 (Dimension Films) and the historical baseball drama 42 (Warner Bros.), co-starring Harrison Ford, and this week's CHOSEN ONE is Ken Loach's new comedy The Angels' Share (Sundance Selects).

Focus Features has informed us that The Place Beyond the Pines director Derek Cianfrance will be participating in a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Wednesday, April 10th at 1:30pm Eastern. While I personally have interviewed Derek twice before, this will be a great chance to ask any burning questions you might have about his latest film, a crime-drama triptych set in Schenectady, New York starring Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes, Bradley Cooper, Ray Liotta, Rose Byrne, Dane DeHaan and Emory Cohen. You can also ask about his previous films or his upcoming HBO show "Muscle" or his obsession with Mike Patton (who did the score for "Pines") as well.

For those that read all the way to the bottom of last week's column, I pulled a bit of an early April Fool's joke because "Box Office Preview" is indeed over, but "The Weekend Warrior" is back! Of course, anyone who has been reading this weekly column regularly will probably have already noticed I've been slowly transforming this column back into what I used to do with the Weekend Warrior in terms of longer write-ups for the new movies in wide release.

So you may be wondering: Why change the title back? Well, I'm glad you wondered. Any of those of you who have been reading this constantly evolving column and blog may have noticed that this week's column celebrates a lofty milestone as it was on April 1, 2003 that the Weekend Warrior first appeared on ComingSoon.net and this week's column marks our 10 year anniversary! It's a pretty significant milestone and to make a long story short: This being my 10th year with ComingSoon.net I decided to bring back the original "Weekend Warrior" title, that's all. So I apologize if anyone was freaking out after last week's announcement but what do you expect for a column that marks its anniversary on April Fool's Day? :)

And we start off our tenth year with only two movies in wide release, one a remake and one a rerelease, so the Weekend Warrior gets to celebrate his anniversary by taking things a little easier. Hurray! They're both strong releases although they'll also both be taking on the March Madness college basketball semi-finals and championship on Friday and Sunday respectively.

Last time we did one of these Long Distance Box Offices, we looked at some of the big blockbusters of the summer and this probably won't be our last Long Distance Box Office about summer movies, but we wanted to take a closer look at one particular weekend this summer that will probably be discussed a lot over the next couple weeks and probably for the rest of the summer, and that's Memorial Day weekend.

Every year, at least one or two big movies have opened big over the holiday weekend and there have only been a couple Memorial Day weekends in recent memory where nothing opened that big.

This year that just won't be the case because we have two big sequels to movies that each opened over $80 million as well as a new family animated adventure hoping to follow other Memorial Day animated hits. The big feud for the top spot will come between two primarily male-driven sequels, Fast and Furious 6 and The Hangover Part III. This may sound familiar to those who remember when The Hangover Part II took on Kung Fu Panda 2 two years back and absolutely trounced it. Things might be a little bit different this time since The Hangover Part III is taking on a PG-13 movie that's going to be just as or even more appealing to guys of all ages.

Hoping that none of the regular readers of this blog realized we missed an entire monthly preview, we're back with a look at the movies coming out in April, a month which seems somewhat slower than March with only seven wide releases over the four weeks leading up to the summer movie season.

Things kick into high gear pretty quickly with the release of the long-awaited remake of Evil Dead (Tristar / Sony Pictures / FilmDistrict - April 4) with original creators Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell producing a new take on the horror classic of a group of kids who go to a cabin in the woods and end up facing a demonic identity. Also, Tom Cruise makes a rare April appearance starring in the sci-fi action thriller Oblivion (Universal - April 19) from TRON: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski, based on a little seen graphic novel about seemingly the last man on earth.
