Now playing below — our HELLO FROM HOLLYWOOD early look at Paramount/Nickelodeon Movies’ THE SMURF MOVIE…where Papa Smurf is kidnapped by evil wizards and The Smurfs must save him — and that means entering the real world.

SMURF, directed by Chris Miller (SHREK THE THIRD), opens in theatres 7/18. Its ensemble cast includes Rihanna as the voice of Smurfette. Look for SMURF to give exhibitors a happy mid-July boxoffice boost between two blockbuster franchise episodes — JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH (7/2) & THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS (7/25).
