The last two weeks gave us plenty to look at and talk about when it came to trailers, and while things might have slowed down quite a bit in terms of quantity, there are still a number of quality trailers to look at from this week. Rounding up the trailers of this week we got the return of Christopher Nolan with a teaser for Dunkirk, and new trailers from Pete’s Dragon, Sausage Party, Documentary Now!, Mascots, and more.

To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.
