Margot Robbie has been getting a lot of attention this year for being the leading lady of Barbie. But, let us not forget about Robbie’s other movies that shaped her career. One of those films happens to be Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, and the proud director recently made sure to point out

Two experimental films executive produced by Steven Soderbergh — Eddie Alcazar’s Divinity and Godfrey Reggio’s Once Within A Time – join Neon’s anticipated Anatomy Of A Fall, Cannes Palme d’Or winner, in theaters today, a bit of counter-programming on a weekend dominated by Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.  Divinity, in a dark and creepy future populated by bodybuilders hooked on an

We recently saw the conclusion of The Continental: From The World Of John Wick, the first story set in this world of assassins that did not include John Wick himself as the main character. The Peacock show was… fine? Honestly, I didn’t hate it, but I also didn’t love it, which makes the show a

The National Association of Theatre Owners has expanded the purview of its government relations chief Todd Halstead to include a new position, director of Independent Exhibitor Engagement. In the role, which is dedicated to indie theater owners, Halstead will collaborate with NATO’s Independent Theatre Owners Coalition (ITOC) “to help the group thrive.” The indie theater

Through over six decades of James Bond movies, there has been a wide assortment of notable actors that have played heroes, villains, and roles in-between in the long running saga. As there’s 25 movies to keep track of, you might still be surprised by who shows up in a 007 adventure upon rewatching the series.

Taylor Swift has the highest-grossing concert tour of the year, and she’s about to conquer movie theaters, as well. Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, opening Friday, October 13, has already sold more than $100 million in advance ticket sales in 8,500 theaters across 100 countries around the world. Will it have a world premiere? Yes.

This past summer, Barbie took the cinematic world by storm, earning critical acclaim, becoming the second movie to cross $1 billion following The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and now ranking as the highest-grossing of the 2023 movie releases. One of the big reasons for its success is the chemistry between lead actors Margot Robbie and

EXCLUSIVE: Heading into the Swift snowfall this weekend at the box office, here’s what we can tell you about the AMC-distributed film. As has already been reported, a $100M+ projection per distribution sources is in store and another $50M+ overseas (for $150M WW debut); but part of the stats indicating this come from box office

There are many classic characters of folklore that are staples of many great horror movies, such as witches. These spell-casters are often depicted as ruthless harbingers of doom in some of the darkest tales that cinema has ever told — such as Robert Eggers’ aptly titled, unsettling drama, The Witch, from 2016. However, there are

When Barbie was first in talks, audiences were only provided with cryptic teasers about it, like its lead actress Margot Robbie calling it “something totally different.” The next Mattel film that’s making us scratch our heads is Barney. It’s mainly that we don’t even know what it’s going to be about. After the Daniel Kaluuya-produced

Sometimes actors will take a gig like within the franchise of James Bond movies solely on the strength of the material. Casino Royale star Mads Mikkelsen counts as one such person, as the man who played the dastardly Le Chiffre didn’t know how “big” of a deal 007 was when he landed the part. Even

Refresh for latest…: Just as it came in lower than hoped for domestically, Universal/Blumhouse/Morgan Creek’s The Exorcist: Believer didn’t fully convert overseas audiences, summoning a $17.9M international box office debut for $45.1M global. The R-rated David Gordon Green-directed reboot/sequel did see some of its 52 launch markets give it a No. 1 start, while in

Black filmmakers have experienced great success in Hollywood that’s somewhat reminiscent of the era of prominence that occurred during the 1990s and early 2000s. However, success hasn’t erased any of the adversity many African Americans in the industry have faced since Tinseltown’s early days and continue to go through today. Film and TV director Ava

David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist: Believer kept the horror peace train going at the box office with $2.85M in previews last night on its way to a potential high $20M to $30M start at the box office. Previews began at 5PM yesterday in 3,050 theaters. Universal has Imax and PLFs on this one. Exorcist: Believer‘s

Gareth Edwards’ first movie since Rogue One may not be another Star Wars movie, but The Creator has some of a galaxy far, far away in its DNA. Not only is it the Rogue One director’s first movie in seven years, it also includes some fun nods to the 2016 movie… that is, if you

A wacky film based on a stage show by comedians Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp, Dicks: The Musical – a riff on The Parent Trap with two adult men as the starring twins — opens in seven theaters in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco on a crowded specialty weekend as theatrical releases of fall film festival titles accelerates.    

Jon Hamm is a TV and film actor who doesn’t shy away from looking handsome. His square shoulders and jaw can’t hide from the camera when he’s in projects like Mad Men or Million Dollar Arm, as well as his best random cameos. On the other hand, Hamm doesn’t always find being called “handsome” by

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film had sold more than $100 million in advance tickets globally as of today, according to AMC Theatres Distribution and AMC Entertainment as the film is set to opens at close to 8,500 theatres across 100 countries in a week. Audience demand “has been incredible” across the U.S., AMC

Although the MonsterVerse has been expanding into TV recently with the animated series Skull Island (which can be streamed with a Netflix subscription) and the upcoming live-action show Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (which Apple TV+ subscribers will be able to access), it won’t be too much longer until this franchise returns to its cinematic roots.

The National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) Executive Board of Directors has elected B&B Theatres President & CEO Bob Bagby as the new NATO Executive Board Chair. He’ll be taking over for previous chair, Rolando B. Rodriguez, who is exiting; his retirement as the top executive at Marcus Theatres announced last year. In addition, Harkins Theaters

It’s somewhat hard to believe, but it’s already been over a year since a verdict was reached in Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation trial. The ruling was largely in Depp’s favor, as Heard was found guilty on three counts of defaming her ex-husband. Depp was found liable for one count of defamation though was

EXCLUSIVE: Sources are telling us that the first day presales for the top three exhibitors stateside for Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé is estimated to be around $6M-$7M+. Note these figures do not come from AMC. An official number from AMC could conceivably come in higher, if they release one. We understand that on Fandango,

John David Washington is not one to shy away from stunt work, as he’s starred in plenty of action movies. Washington’s latest movie, The Creator, takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where it’s man vs. artificial intelligence, and with the Tenet star leading the movie as an ex-special forces agent recruited to kill a weapon

Story Ave starring Luis Guzman grossed $9.85k in a limited opening at one theater, Quad Cinema, with multiple sold-out shows. The first feature from director Aristotle Torres, which won for Best Cinematography at SXSW (see Deadline review) expands to Chicago and the Bronx next week, followed by LA and additional markets October 13. Guzman plays a

For many fans of a certain age, the most anticipated upcoming horror movie from the Halloween season and beyond is Five Nights at Freddy’s, the first live-action adaptation of the hugely popular video game series that has become a merchandising monolith over the years. While the lore filling out the games, novels, and short story

Refresh for latest…: Here we are with a sort of hybrid weekend at the international box office: there were fresh entries from the Hollywood studios, as well as major new titles timed to holiday play in local markets, and a holdover that’s continuing to rack up records. On the studio side, Paramount/Spin Master’s Paw Patrol:

Star Trek fans haven’t been lacking in new TV content for more than half a decade now, but the film side of the franchise has been in stasis ever since the release of Star Trek Beyond. Recently though, it seemed like that might be changing, as Star Trek 4 co-writer Lindsey Anderson Beer stated that

Updated: Deadline has learned exclusively that the theatrical release date for Beyonce Renaissance World Tour is looking like Dec. 1, the post Thanksgiving/Black Friday weekend frame which is typically a dead zone at the box office. AMC didn’t respond to request for comment. Interesting that AMC is looking to hit a grand slam in 2023

With The Walt Disney Company celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, it’s only appropriate that the release of a new animated movie musical is included as part of the festivities. Earlier this week, the studio dropped a new trailer for Wish, which follows a 17-year-old girl named Asha who finds her wish on a star

Hopefully three wide releases can wake up what’s been a relatively sleepy time at the box office, ratcheted down by the SAG-AFTRA strike. With New Regency/20th Century Studios/Disney’s original Gareth Edwards sci-fi movie The Creator, Paramount and Spin Master’s PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie and Lionsgate’s Saw X, the top three movies look to make
