No one ever imagined this would be a record $4.76 billion summer. When we started off, we knew Universal’s The Odyssey was destined to be huge given that the 70MM Imax tickets sold out a year in advance.

Michael B. Jordan’s career has been on a steady incline for the past two decades or so, hitting a peak when he took home his first Oscar this year for playing not one, but two characters, in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners.

For some reason, Dungeons & Dragons seems to be one of those IPs Hollywood just doesn’t know what to do with. But, since the famous fantasy tabletop role-playing game is at an all-time cultural high, I’m not surprised there’s a few dice rolling from different studios. Netflix just officially joined the game, and I was

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for The Mandalorian & Grogu Although The Mandalorian & Grogu gave Din Djarin and his adopted son their big-screen debut, their story feels far from over in the Star Wars galaxy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
