Opening Wednesday:
ROBOCOP (PG-13): Paul Verhoeven’s ultra-violent 1987 classic gets a tamer, less violent remake, starring Joel Kinnaman as the police officer in a crime-ridden Detroit who is half-human, half-machine.

Opening Friday:
ENDLESS LOVE (PG-13): Scott Spencer’s novel about doomed romance gets a do-over, with Alex Pettyfer and Gabriella Wilde taking over from Martin Hewitt and Brooke Shields as the young lovers who can’t keep their hands off each other, with disastrous results.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT (R): David Mamet’s play “Sexual Perversity in Chicago,” filmed once before in the 1980s with Rob Lowe and Demi Moore, gets another go-around with an African-American cast. Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Regina Hall and Joy Bryant are the two couples trying to make their relationships work.

WINTER’S TALE (PG-13) Colin Farrell and Jessica Brown Findlay star in this romantic fantasy about a man with the power of reincarnation trying to save his late beloved.
