When it comes to evaluating the financial performance of top movies, it isn’t about what a film grosses at the box office.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an ever changing place, especially as the studio plans the next two phases of filmmaking.

China’s Dalian Wanda Group has issued a statement regarding its AMC Entertainment, calling speculation about the chain filing for bankruptcy “pure rumors.” This comes after an S&P Global report last week forecasted AMC’s depletion of cash by mid-summer and its potential inability to re-open by June, and as chatter has swirled about a possible Chapter

Jordan Peele has had a successful career as a comedian, but has become an extremely celebrated director over the past few years.

Mary Poppins is leading her own creepy team of gifted youngsters in a fan artwork that’s inspired by the X-Men and will give you nightmares.

Incredible. Not only does Baby Groot apparently have a dirty mouth, but there’s also a lost scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 where Rocket calls him out on it. It doesn’t sound like it was ever meant to hit the big screen, but James Gunn loved the bit so much that the animation

Last updated: April 11, 2020 With Black Widow on the way, it’s time to go back and rewatch every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie leading up to this point – but where can fans watch them all online? The MCU got off to somewhat of a humble start in 2008, first with the release of Jon

Naturally though, scripts with no identifiable IP have a harder time getting off the ground, and with his career writing in other people’s voices for TV being so fruitful, Uncorked sadly had to wait. You could see how someone like Prentice Penny could see merely the fact that his film was made as the true

The John Wick saga is continuing this month with John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (the title of which means “Prepare for war,”) promising all-out action in the assassin community.

However, did you ever notice that there are few things about Grease that just don’t “go together?” Musicals have been historically dependent on suspension of disbelief, of course, so I can get past fantastically elaborate dance numbers, flying cars, and even Rydell High being filled with 30-year-olds who were held back a few too many

The innovative automotive engineers at Tesla are using car parts to confront their task of creating ventilators to help hospitals treat coronavirus patients. If the idea proves successful, the engineers should save both time and money that would have otherwise been spent attempting to source materials vehicle manufacturing facilities would not normally have available.

One Animal Crossing: New Horizons player has recreated Pallet Town, the starting location of the original Pokémon games. This is just one of many fan-made tributes to other games and properties, built using the island-life simulator’s in-depth terraforming and town-building gameplay, which allows fans to flex their creativity in ways few could see coming.

With movie theaters closed to hopefully no later than early June, the major studios have a permission slip to test out big pic releases in the home. Now, they’re not so insane that they’ll burn down the house to keep warm. Major movies like Disney’s Mulan and Black Widow which have the potential to do $1 billion at

Epic Universe There’s a lot that isn’t happening right now on the theme park front, and for obvious reasons, but interestingly, the biggest current project of them all is reportedly still moving forward. Universal Orlando’s fourth gate, Epic Universe, is, according to the company, still moving forward. Universal states that all appropriate protocols are being

Marvel Studios has officially set a Captain Marvel 2 release date for 2022.

The thing about John Krasinki’s sequel is that, unlike some other major releases, it’s finished and ready to go. It actually is one of the last movies I was lucky enough to see in theaters before all of this hit the pause button, as CinemaBlend covered the press junket in New York City. Man, this

To pretty much everyone’s displeasure, one of the world’s most beloved sit-comes is coming to an end. The last episode of the tenth season of Modern Family aired recently, and it’s been officially announced that season 11 will be the last. The show aired back in 2009, and it’s been going strong for a decade, without ever
