What to watch this weekend: Ebenezer's reviews are in and they're split, 12 12 12 and Snoopy on Apple TV, a longer Avengers: Endgame, and my picks

In theaters: one maybe, one wait

• Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol (PG-13, just under two hours). Ti West's darker take on Dickens, with Johnny Depp as Scrooge. Critics are split right down the middle: 51% on Rotten Tomatoes from 111 reviews when I checked Friday night, and that number is still moving. Audiences seem happier than critics, with early exit polls around four and a half stars. It took in $1.5 million in Thursday previews and is expected to open at about $20 million, enough for first place. (Rotten Tomatoes, JoBlo)
• How to Rob a Bank (R, 2 hours 2 minutes). David Leitch's heist comedy with Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz and Pete Davidson. On paper this was the fun one, and the reviews talked me out of it: 31% from 77 reviews. It made $900,000 in previews and is headed for a single-digit-millions weekend. (Rotten Tomatoes, JoBlo)
• Still playing: Ghost Soldier, the Jim Caviezel war film that opened Wednesday for Veterans Day, and Victorian Psycho, an R-rated period horror film with Maika Monroe.

A note on the rating for Ebenezer: the PG-13 is for "frightening material," and Ti West makes horror films. This is not the Muppets. I'd think twice before taking kids under 10.

Last good week for Godzilla in IMAX

If you still haven't seen Godzilla Minus Zero on a big screen, this is the weekend. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping opens Friday, November 20, and a release that size takes the premium screens with it. (Cinema United)

At home: Apple TV has the most new stuff

• 12 12 12 (Apple TV, Friday). Anthony Mackie plays a disgraced FBI agent and Jamie Dornan a career criminal, tied together by a bank heist in Zurich. Two episodes are out now. It's eight episodes in all, one every Friday, ending on Christmas Day. (TVLine, TV Insider)
• Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy (Apple TV, Friday). A new Peanuts holiday special, with music from John Legend, Kamasi Washington, Leon Bridges and Laufey. This is the easy family pick of the weekend. (Apple)
• Being Heumann (Apple TV, Friday). One correction to what you may have read: it's a feature film, not a documentary. Ruth Madeley plays disability rights activist Judy Heumann, with Mark Ruffalo, directed by CODA's Sian Heder. (TVLine)

Apple TV is $14.99 a month with a seven-day free trial. One trial covers the Snoopy special, Being Heumann and the first two episodes of 12 12 12. Set a reminder to cancel if that's all you want.

Everywhere else

• The Good Daughter (Peacock). All six episodes of the Karin Slaughter thriller with Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy are out now. Some weekend guides list this on HBO Max. In the US it's a Peacock exclusive. (Peacock)
• Avengers: Endgame: Encore (Disney+). An extended cut of the 2019 film with four new scenes that set up Avengers: Doomsday. It's still three-plus hours of a movie you've seen, so this is for fans. (TVLine)
• Heartland (Netflix). Jessica Chastain as a former country star who goes back to Nashville. (TVLine)
• The End of Oak Street (HBO Max). Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor in a strange one from the director of It Follows.
• Still rolling out: The Rings of Power season 3 on Prime Video, which runs through November 25, and The Chosen season 6, which starts there Sunday, November 15.

My picks

• One trip to the theater: Godzilla in IMAX, before it loses the screens. If you've seen it, Ebenezer, with teens or adults.
• Family night: the Snoopy special. It's short, it's new, and nobody will argue.
• A full weekend binge: The Good Daughter. Six episodes, a beginning and an end, no waiting.
• Something to start: 12 12 12, if you like having a show to look forward to each Friday through Christmas.
• Wait for streaming: How to Rob a Bank. At 31%, it will be just as good at home in a couple of months.
