Oscar Isaac is a flirtatious dude with a great sense of humor. From his steamy moment on the red carpet with Jessica Chastain last year, to the “cock sock” he gave to Denis Villeneuve as a gift after filming his nude scene in Dune, it’s pretty clear that he is both flirtatious and fun, with

While most likely know Lupita Nyong’o best for her performances in films like Black Panther and 12 Years a Slave (for which she won an Oscar), the star also made a serious impression through the horror realm. She led Jordan Peele’s 2019 horror film Us and received critical acclaim for her work. The star has

Though relegated to only voice-only performance, Scarlett Johansson’s role as the sultry voice of the A.I. Samantha in Spike Jonze’s 2013 critically acclaimed hit film Her is perhaps one of the actress’ most underrated parts outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Exhibition trade group the National Association of Theatre Owners announced Monday that its 24-year CEO and President John Fithian was retiring. While that’s not as long as the late Motion Picture Association boss Jack Valenti’s 38-year run at that trade org, who left behind his own legendary streak with the creation of the ratings system, Fithian

The death of Anne Heche was as much a shock to her friends and family as it was to the fans who enjoyed her work. The controversy surrounding Heche’s death in a car accident has not ended with the event itself. There has now been a legal battle in the courts over her estate, but

Paramount’s Parker Finn-directed horror pic Smile has laughed its way across the $100M mark globally. And it did so in under two weeks of release. Through Tuesday, the gross is $102.3M worldwide, made up of $55.5M domestic and $46.8M from the international box office.  From Paramount Players and Temple Hill, the movie has seen some

Some Hollywood projects take longer to move forward than others, and Red Sonja certainly qualifies in that regard. Since 2008, there have been multiple attempts to get a reboot of the 1985 movie that starred Brigitte Nielsen in the title role off the ground. Well, following these setbacks, the newest take on Red Sonja is

Warner Bros has shifted the release date by two weeks next year for Dune: Part Two going from Nov. 17 to Nov. 3 and still hanging onto Imax screens for the Denis Villeneuve directed sequel. The news comes as Disney/Marvel’s Blade evacuates the first weekend of November for Sept. 2024. Dune 2 stands unopposed. A

David O Russell’s latest movie, Amsterdam, hit theaters over the weekend, and the initial box office numbers weren’t exactly what the studio was hoping for, to put it nicely. Despite a star-studded cast that boasted Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Taylor Swift, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rami Malek, Mike Myers, Robert DeNiro, Michael Shannon, Chris

While tentpoles resuscitated moviegoing this past summer with pics like Top Gun: Maverick, it’s true that more adult-skewing fare is having a much harder time now. Nowhere was this more true than with David O. Russell’s Amsterdam, which rivals believed had a shot at opening to $12 million-$15 million this past weekend based on the

Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s official job is the director of the Hayden Planetarium; however, most people on social media probably know Tyson as the guy who is a total buzzkill about movies.

Focus Features’Tár opened in limited release to strong results with $160,000 at four locations in New York and Los Angles for a $40,000 per theater average, one of the best PTAs since Covid and not bad for a 2-hour and 38-minute arthouse film pre-pandemic. Riding strong reviews, the Cate Blanchett-starrer by Todd Field was no. 1 in three

Johnny Depp has been making a lot of appearances and headlines since his much-publicized defamation trial ended, but Amber Heard has largely stayed out of the spotlight, save a social media post and some behind the scenes shake-ups with her lawyers, which were widely covered by the media. That lack of publicity has left many

SATURDAY AM: Final with chart Some parts of the weekend box office are alive, and some are dead, and that which is vibrant is Paramount’s second weekend of Smile, which — as we mentioned during the weekend preview — was apt to steal No. 1 away from newcomers Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile and Amsterdam. The Parker

Bros – the new queer romantic comedy starring Billy Eichner – has stirred up a lot of conversation over the past week.

Academy Awards winners and snubs this year have largely been overshadowed by a moment in which Will Smith slapped Chris Rock over a joke he’d made about Jada Pinkett Smith.

Many of us are familiar with Lyle, the friendly crocodile who lived with the Primm family in the house on East 88th Street, but we’ve certainly never seen him portrayed as we will when Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile hits theaters on October 7.

Don’t underestimate the second weekend of Paramount’s horror movie Smile. The Parker Finn directed and written title, which has provided many in town that horror remains a bankable genre for the big screen after a $22.6M opening, has a shot of possibly upsetting Sony’s family movie Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile and 20th Century Studios/New Regency/Disney’s upscale

Jamie Lee Curtis is no dummy when it comes to fans impersonating celebrities. We live in a scary, techno-centric world where fans use deepfake to fool people into thinking they’re a well-known celebrity when it’s just the façade of impressionable technology. Luckily, the Halloween star has her own personal method to ensure that when celebs

A Pulitzer Prize can be a burden, one must assume, trumpeting expectations and pumping reputations from a distance. Martyna Majok‘s Cost of Living won the trophy in 2018, and that victory has been mentioned often in the lead-up to the play’s opening on Broadway tonight in a Manhattan Theatre Club production at the Samuel J.

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have been facing off in court for years now, but things really heated up when the defamation trial began in Virginia. With cameras in the courtroom, the public was able to watch every moment and cast their own judgements about the pair’s tumultuous relationship. That trial was recently made into

Well, that’s that. After all the controversies and badly handled original castings and headlines and backstage bruisings and firings or resignations or whatever they were, Funny Girl is, as so many suspected all along, the musical that Lea Michele was born to lead. Broadway’s new Fanny Brice is, to put is simply and without exaggeration,

Before Twilight, Catherine Hardwicke was known for her work in the indie scene with hits like Thirteen, Lords of Dogtown, and The Nativity Scene. But after that, Hardwicke landed the biggest assignment of her career when she took on the film adaptation of the first book in Stephanie Meyer’s massive best-selling book series, Twilight. And

SATURDAY AM: Paramount and other studios are calling Smile at a $19M opening.

It’s been a little over six months since Will Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars, and many are still discussing the polarzing incident. While the general public has had plenty of thoughts on the matter, plenty of celebrities have weighed in as well. One of the high-profile stars that chimed in
