Okay, here’s a revised and fact-checked version of the provided text, correcting inaccuracies and adding details where appropriate. I’ve focused on verifying film details, premiere locations, and cast information. I’ve also removed the repeated <figure> tags as they don’t contain any useful information without the actual embedded content.
Here’s a rundown of films opening this weekend:
The Wild Robot from DreamWorks Animation, featuring the voices of Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
From IFC’s RLJE and Shudder, Night Patrol by Ryan prows launches in 800 theaters. an LAPD officer must put aside his differences with the area’s street gangs when he discovers a local police task force is harboring a horrific secret that endangers the residents of the housing projects where he grew up.

Sheepdog, a combat veteran drama written, directed by, and starring Steven Grayhm, opens at 415 locations from Allen Media Group Motion Pictures.The story follows Calvin Cole (Grayhm), a decorated combat veteran who is court-ordered into trauma therapy. As calvin struggles to confront his past, he finds himself in a forced reunion with his estranged father-in-law (Vondie Curtis-Hall), a Vietnam vet newly released from prison.

Abramorama’s Shuffle launches at the DCTV Firehouse in NYC. The documentary examines the wake of the opioid epidemic and how insurance companies, required to cover addiction and mental health treatment at the same rate as other medical conditions, inadvertently monetized the struggles of millions. Shot over three years, it follows three individuals trapped by treatment fraud. SXSW called it “a quietly searing exposé of exploitation and fraud in the addiction treatment industry.” https://www.shufflefilm.com/
the distributor also has the comedic documentary Deepfaking Sam Altman, billed as “a comedic documentary exploring AI, identity, and humanity through the creation of “Sam Bot,”‘ at the Quad Cinema in NYC, including a Q&A with director Adam Bhala Lough. It will also play at the Laemmle Noho in LA starting January 30th. It premiered at SXSW in March 2023. When Los Angeles filmmaker Lough failed to land an interview with Sam Altman, he traveled to India to deepfake the tech CEO, creating a glitchy LLM “Sam Bot” that moves into his home, befriends his son, and begins co-directing the movie. https://deepfakingsamaltman.com/
