Opening Wednesday:
47 RONIN (PG-13): Carl Rinsch makes his directorial debut with this spectacular adventure about a warrior (Keanu Reeves) who helps a group of 47 samurai avenge the murder of their leader. One ominous sign: The film is not being screened for critics in several major markets. Uh-oh.

GRUDGE MATCH (PG-13): Aside from the inexplicable success of “The Expendables” series, Sylvester Stallone has been having a rough time drawing much of an audience. But this comedy about two retired boxers (Stallone and Robert De Niro) who step into the ring to settle a longstanding grudge has the feel of a crowd-pleasing hit.

JUSTIN BIEBER’S BELIEVE (PG) The first behind-the-scenes documentary that followed the teen pop star on and off-stage (2011’s “Never Say Never”) grossed $100 million. Naturally, they’ve made another one. But with all the negative publicity Bieber has created for himself lately, have his 15 minutes elapsed?

MANDELA: LONG WALK TO FREEDOM (PG-13): Idris Elba (“The Wire,” “Prometheus”) stars in this biopic of the late South African leader Nelson Mandela, recounting his life from his rural childhood to his ascencion to the presidency.

THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY (PG-13): James Thurber’s beloved 1939 short story about a mild-mannered dreamer gets a second film adaptation. The first, made in 1947, was a musical starring Danny Kaye. But director Ben Stiller, who also stars, has opted to go the fantasy route, using sensational special effects and remote locations overseas to portray a milquetoast’s gradual embrace of life and all its risks and pleasures. Kristen Wiig co-stars as the woman who unwittingly inspires him to break out of his humdrum shell.

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET (R): Director Martin Scorsese cuts loose and turns Jordan Belfort’s tell-all account of his wild and crazy life as a corrupt Wall Street investor into an over-the-top, three-hour, outrageously debauched comedy. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as the crooked moneyman, while Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, Jean Dujardin and Margot Robbie play some of the hangers-on and collaborators in his crazy circus of white-collar crime.
