For those of us still mourning the end of The Vampire Lestat, thankfully, AMC is releasing a whole concert of the bratty vampire in performance at the Beacon Theatre. If you didn’t catch the hottest ticket in town you can now flip it on this weekend in between going to the movies for an Anthony Bourdain biopic and a new Insidious flick. Here’s everything.

Instead of spotlighting Anthony Bourdain at the height of his fame, Tony, directed by Matt Johnson, follows a directionless 19-year-old Bourdain (played by The Holdovers breakout Dominic Sessa) as he heads to Provincetown one summer to see about a girl he’s interested in (Emilia Jones). There, he starts working at a local restaurant under a man who goes by Chef (Antonio Banderas).
The previous season of the longest-running live-action TV comedy devoted a lot of time to Frank Reynolds’s (Danny Devito) appearance on The Golden Bachelor. This season sounds like a return to the usual antics and schemes, including the gang fighting with their rival McPoyles and, surely, Glenn Howerton screaming in character as the deranged Dennis Reynolds. —Roxana Hadadi
➽ In theaters; read the full review.
Every so often we get a comedy about a group of women — in this case, Leslie Mann, Anna Faris, Michelle Buteau, and Isla Fisher — that tries to chase the highs of Bridesmaids. In Spa Weekend, three of them get together for a relaxing Palm Springs weekend until they cross paths with Fisher’s Mel.
“Jason Statham Rips a Guy’s Face Open With a Padlock.” Gauge your own reaction to that headline to decide whether it’s worth the price of admission. —Eric Vilas-Boas
At the Beacon Theatre in June, Sam Reid, in character as Lestat de Lioncourt, performed the original tracks written for the recently aired series The Vampire Lestat. Now everyone who couldn’t make it into the limited-capacity show can cry along in the privacy of their own home. —R.H.
➽ We were there, by the way: “The Upper West Side has never seen so many goths in one place, especially not in broad daylight.”
In the first two seasons, the comedian and very good Oscars host took his shtick around the world, visiting fans and celebrities and mostly getting razzed by them. (His longtime nemesis, producer Jordan Schlansky, was along for the ride.) He’s back for more international travel in the third season, which filmed in India and Morocco. —R.H.
Directed by The Green Knight’s David Lowery, Anne Hathaway plays a pop star looking to relaunch herself with a massive comeback performance. She tries to enlist the help of her former designer, Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel), but the two have resentments to work through in this atmospheric drama.
➽ For a Michaela Coel double feature, watch The Christophers on Hulu.
