This week’s big movie releases include the all-archival documentary “Our Nixon,” which examines the Nixon presidency through the use of home movies filmed by Nixon aides. Also hitting the box office is “Closed Circuit,” the British crime thriller and “One Direction: This Is Us,” an intimate, all access look at the boy band One Direction and their life on the road during their world tour.
