Sony has set a November 6 global release date for fantasy action-adventure saga Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi. Ramayana is planned as a two-part movie event based on the 5,000-year-old saga. The synopsis reads: “An ancient epic follows a young prince and princess whose marriage and subsequent exile mark the beginning of a

With the upcoming video game adaptation of Street Fighter, 2026 will hopefully continue its pretty decent game-to-feature run. The latest trailer from Paramount Pictures dropped this week, with new footage galore, and it completely leans into the unbelievable nature of the game’s physics and fighting styles. Which is really all anyone should want from an

Hogwarts Legacy is three years old, but it’s been getting extra attention ever since it was dropped for free on platforms like the Epic Games Store. With the HBO TV show debuting later this year, it’ll likely get even more attention as fans await more information on the sequel. Strangely, WB Games hasn’t really released

The final performances of Moulin Rouge! The Musical easily topped this week’s Broadway box office chart, grossing a big $2,336,973 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, a nice jump of $140,768 over the previous week. With original, Tony-winning cast member Aaron Tveit back as Christian for the engagement’s final two weeks, sales surged with his fans

Tom Felton surprised Wizarding World fans over a year ago when he confirmed that he’d reprise the role of Draco Malfoy on Broadway for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Since then, the British actor has donned a blonde wig in order to play the former Slytherin student and give us a look at Malfoy

The most perfect TV crime thrillers of all time either have characters to root for, or make us support the antihero despite knowing that the character in question has a few villainous tendencies. They also must have a storyline so packed with tension and the occasional twist that we are hooked even if the action

The summer domestic box office is so close —so close–to hitting an all-time record, which would surpass the $4.756 billion held by summer 2013. Currently, per Rentrak, the North American box office for the first Friday in May through EOD today stands at $4.598 billion, officially the second-highest summer ever behind 2013. If this summer

As Tom Holland’s fourth Spidey movie continues to crush at the box office five weeks after its release, I can’t help but think about his first solo outing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Spider-Man: Homecoming completely shifted tonal expectations for an MCU movie when it came out in 2017. And, when CinemaBlend spoke to the

The horror stories of Stephen King combine with the time travel adventures of Back to the Future in an eight-episode miniseries produced by J.J. Abrams. Though Stephen King and Back to the Future are both mainstays of modern culture, they don’t have a lot of overlap. Back to the Future is a distinctly light-hearted adventure

SATURDAY AM WRITETHRU after Friday afternoon post: It’s Spidey’s world, and Jacob Elordi and Wile E. Coyote are just living in it. But let’s not ignore the pace we’re seeing on Ketchup Entertainment’s release of the abandoned Warner Bros Looney Tunes title, Coyote Vs. Acme, which is eyeing third place now with $14M. Coyote vs.

Nicole Kidman is back on the upcoming movie schedule, this time to return to her role of Gillian Owens in Practical Magic 2 alongside Sandra Bullock. And, thanks to an interview that came out of the press tour, I just learned that the Oscar winner isn’t a stranger to casting a spell or so in

The top three Netflix shows to binge-watch this weekend, August 28–30, 2026, include two of the most popular series on the platform and a brand new thriller. Whether you’re looking for a hilarious comedy series that just released its celebrated third season, a gripping 5-part psychological thriller centered on a series of mysterious murders, or

Following the death Tuesday of two-time Oscar nominee and 11-time Grammy winner Dolly Parton, AMC Theatres is planning a retrospective of the multihyphenate showing two of her movies, 1989’s Steel Magnolias and 1982’s The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. The cinematic homage will be begin Friday and go through September 2. AMC will present the

2026 has been a solid year for movies. Whether it’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s record-breaking performance or the insane success of Obsession and Back Rooms, there’s been something for every type of cinephile. There are plenty more upcoming movies to look forward to, and I was recently shocked to learn that there are two films

Tim Curry’s most famous performances only scratch the surface of what made him such an extraordinary actor. Following his death at 80, some of his movies are worth revisiting because they reveal the remarkable range behind one of cinema’s most distinctive performers. Curry leaves behind a legacy that few actors can match. He became immortal

It might seem summer has gotten boring by this point in time at the box office with Sony/Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day refusing to relinquish its grip on No. 1 in its fifth go-round with $18M (-54%), but it’s not. This summer potentially is headed to a record, possibly upsetting 2013’s $4.756 billion. Rentrak

Leave it to Stavros Halkias to start a trend on Letterboxd. Halkias, who co-stars in Tony as part of the 2026 movie schedule last weekend, left a cheeky review of the movie, and it’s all about himself. This isn’t the first time he’s done it, either. It seems the comedian and actor is making a

Series finales have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. The move to streaming has completely normalized the concept of series as major events, meaning that last episodes of big series are getting talked about, dissected, and reviewed more than ever. Though there have been more than a few times where a series has stuck

AMC Theaters on Monday said it expects that AMC Kips Bay 15, the second biggest multiplex in the exhibitor’s New York City footprint, to close its doors at year’s end. “We expect that AMC Kips Bay 15 will continue operating until the end of 2026, at which time the theatre will close following the property

When Disneyland Paris’ new Lion King details were announced at D23 this year, I had two thoughts. First, that’s awesome. And secondly, how has a Disney park never featured a full land themed around the seminal 1994 movie before? It’s clearly a movie that lives fondly in peoples’ hearts, and also Disney World has a

Steam is absolutely no stranger to a viral hit. Titles like Peak, Lethal Company, Meccha Chameleon, and so many more have proven to be breakout sensations despite their relatively small marketing budgets, development teams, and relatively simplistic premises. It’s a testament to the power of internet virality, the value in artistic simplicity, and the joy

A24’s Tony landed at no. 7 in a big expansion to 1,642 runs (from just under 40). It’s cooking with a $5 million weekend and $6.6 million cume in week 3 for the Matt Johnson film starring Dominic Sessa as a young Anthony Bourdain and Antonio Banderas as an early mentor. The coming-of-age story imagines

I don’t know about you, but it feels like The Force is particularly strong with the next upcoming Star Wars movie, Starfighter. I say this because it feels like it has the power to change the tides for theatrical Star Wars films if it does well. And its writer just said something about it that’s

Whilst the Resident Evil franchise is home to some of gaming’s most iconic characters, with Leon Kennedy perhaps leading the charge, there is no denying that the Capcom saga also features some badass women. From Claire Redfield to Ashley Graham, Lady Dimitrescu to Ada Wong, if a job needs doing, these women are here to

FRIDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE: This weekend belongs to Sony, or at least the top two spots at the box office do, with Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s fourth frame of $35 million at 4,006 sites and Blumhouse/Atomic Monster/Stage 6’s Insidious: Out of the Further opening to $23M at 3,303 theaters. Both are coming in at

This summer has been an exciting one for moviegoers, including record-breaking hits like Spider-Man: Brand New Day. A new family-friendly blockbuster has arrived this weekend with Ben Gregor’s The Magic Faraway Tree, which stars Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy. The movie is a visual treat, and has some epic sequences, including one that was set

Across comic books, movies, video games, and TV shows, Marvel is enjoying a thrilling back half of 2026. Not that the two are ever genuinely in a competition with one another, but DC has more or less been firing on all cylinders for the last little while, thanks largely to DC Comics’ Absolute publishing line

It’s official: Universal’s The Odyssey has become the highest-grossing R-rated movie at the global box office with $1.352 billion, unseating Deadpool & Wolverine, which ended its worldwide run in 2024 at $1.33B. Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds spilled the beans on social media prior to Uni making the record official. Congratulations to the entire

Anthony Bourdain gave us a lot of unforgettable quotes, many of which also double as great life advice. However, in Tony, the upcoming A24 movie about the chef, there’s one very well-known quote that was cut from the project. Now, why did that happen? Well, the film’s director told CinemaBlend his reasoning behind taking the

While Netflix’s sci-fi output has not always been able to keep up with the streaming service’s competitors, one of its best offerings in the genre melded Paul Verhoeven’s satirical wit with Ridley Scott’s immersive futuristic vision. As the sci-fi streaming wars of the 2020s rage on, it is a good thing that Netflix has the
