Opening Friday
Gone Girl (R): The fall season’s first juggernaut has arrived. David Fincher directs this adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s mammoth bestseller about a man (Ben Affleck) accused of murdering his wife (Rosamund Pike). Did he do it? We’re not telling.
Left Behind (PG:) Nicolas Cage stars in this remake of the Christian-themed film from 2000, taking over for Kirk Cameron as one of a small group of survivors after the Rapture.
Annabelle (R): A man finds the perfect present for his pregnant wife — a vintage doll in a white wedding dress — which turns out to belong to a murderous satanic cult. If horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that dolls are evil. When will people learn?
