A look at the plots of this weekend’s new movie releases from a business perspective.
Captain America: Civil War: Work colleagues fall out with each other when forced to adapt to a new system under fresh management. Some respond well to the greater levels of accountability while others complain they are being micromanaged. Captain America (Chris Evans) leads the rebels while Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) takes the company line. Soon their colleagues are forced to pick sides and quite literally fight for their beliefs.
Pele: Birth of a Legend: A hospital janitor struggles to support his family but sees a chance for financial salvation in the soccer skills of his son who, despite not being able to afford shoes, could bring riches to his family and a World Cup title to his country.
A Bigger Splash: A rock star (Tilda Swinton) rendered temporarily mute by throat surgery tries to cheer herself up with a vacation on an Italian island. Unfortunately, trouble lurks in paradise. When an eccentric music producer (Ralph Fiennes) shows up with more than just a business plan, getting her voice back may be the least of her concerns.
