How seemingly fitting it is to have the box office prospects for a time-travel thriller like Warner Bros.’ Tenet changing in real-time.

Update: Focus Features’ Sundance acquisition of Annapurna/Plan B’s Kajillionaire will now open on Sept. 25, a week later than anticipated in select theaters.

Gary Ross Went To The White House Correspondents’ Dinner To Get All Those Political Cameos There are an insane number of cameos littered throughout Dave, from the worlds of both both show business and politics, that give the movie a larger than life yet realistic depiction of Washington, D.C.
