Fans of Sony might be disappointed with the launch of the PlayStation 5, which could cost nearly $500 at launch according to a report. When a new generation of video game systems launches, combatants in the war for consumer dollars often find themselves trying to turn a profit on hardware while still drawing an audience that will

Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog got off to a solid start on Thursday night, scoring $3M from shows that began at 5PM at 3,150 locations. That number is the same as what Dreamworks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World made last year with a $3M Thursday off 6pm showtimes before going to a $55M opening weekend. Other

Holy Batman, Batman! The camera test features a close look at the Dark Knight’s new suit under a red glow. Notably, we also hear a bit of Michael Giacchino’s Batman score too! The composer has made music for J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek, Lost, Rogue One, Pixar’s Up, Incredibles and Inside Out, just to name a

Iconic character actor Martin Kove has never been in a film like VFW before. Jeff Begos’ fourth feature production, the film also brings such familiar faces as Stephen Lang, William Sadler, Fred Williamson, and David Patrick Kelly into the slime and smut under the Fangoria banner. In time for the film’s limited theatrical, digital, and on-demand release

Rian Johnson’s Lionsgate/MRC whodunit Knives Out has sailed past the $300M mark worldwide. It’s the latest milestone for the box office anomaly that is becoming the second-highest-grossing original movie of 2019 behind Us and also whipping Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’s $142.4M stateside. More amazing: This Thanksgiving release is still in the domestic

Taika Waititi’s comments to Variety shows what a double edged sword the Star Wars franchise can be for filmmakers. While many directors dream of the galaxy far, far away, there’s a ton of responsibility and weight that comes with singing up to expand the franchise. Generations of moviegoers are brought up on George Lucas’ colorful

Halloween Kills has fans excited about the return of several original characters, but there is one character they won’t be bringing back. The new film, out October 2020, recently had a test screening, prompting more chatter about the movie’s plot online. When it was announced in 2016 that David Gordon Green was working on a

Who says theatrical is dead? Despite Bong Joon Ho’s historic Best Picture Oscar winner Parasite already being available on DVD and SVOD, there’s a huge appetite among moviegoers following Sunday’s awards ceremony to watch it on the big screen this weekend.  As of EOD Monday, advance ticket sales for Parasite had jumped 443% week over week

Oscar Isaac seems to have put Poe Dameron behind him, but he definitely has a bright future ahead. He has Dune coming in 2020, along with Big Gold Brick, and The Card Counter. Hopefully we see him back at the Oscars soon, and not just to make jokes about his name or Star Wars.

After scoring the lowest opening for any DC film in over a decade, including the lowest DCEU opening, box office experts have given their explanation as to why Birds of Prey misfired at the box office. Since Justice League disappointed at the box office in 2017, Warner Bros. has seen an upswing with DC projects. Aquaman

While a post-Oscars box office boost was already expected for Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite tonight even with Best International Film and Best Director wins, now with a Best Picture win, the pic has a shot to go into the $40M-plus zone, possibly even more. The NEON release, after winning the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film

Mel Brooks (Achieved EGOT: 2001) Mel Brooks is a famous writer, actor, producer, and director. Some of his most known works are Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, High Anxiety, and The Producers. It’s The Producers that rounded out his EGOT status, as he won the Oscar for writing the film, and decades later, would go on

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Birds of Prey. Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of Harley Quinn) sees the return of Margot Robbie’s charmingly unhinged Suicide Squad character, and features several references to Harley’s time as a member of Task Force X. Though it’s predominantly a self-contained adventure, Birds of Prey does set the stage for

Warner Bros’ Birds Of Prey took flight across 51 overseas markets on Wednesday and Thursday, grossing $7.8M at the international box office through its first two days. The Cathy Yan-directed DC spinoff has opened to No. 1 in its major plays, save Korea and Italy where local titles are dominating. Ahead of the weekend, the

As Billy Crystal explains, during the long ceremony, something often something goes wrong or something funny happens, and that’s the job of a host – to take advantage of that moment and harness it into entertainment. He called some of his “best moments” as host during times when things went wrong, reminiscing about the time

New artwork for Final Fantasy VII Remake was released on Twitter that shows off the game’s amazing new visuals. Fans have been preparing for the release of this remake for several years – namely, ever since it was announced during the 2015 E3. The original version of the game released back in 1997 and is

EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros.’ R-rated Suicide Squad DC spinoff Birds of Prey is eyeing an estimated $4M-$5M in previews tonight, according to industry estimates. Showtimes that began at 6 p.m.. Although much lower than such R-rated superhero fare as Joker ($13.3M), Deadpool ($12.7M) and Logan ($9.5M), Birds of Prey is more female-skewing. Hopefully the under 25 female set, which is known to

Certainly, there may have been some elements of Parasite that those not familiar with South Korea wouldn’t necessarily understand. The semi-basement apartment and the underground shelter that play pivotal roles in the story would be very familiar to South Korean audiences but might seem unusual when viewed elsewhere. However, in the end, the things that

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) debuted with the second-highest Rotten Tomatoes score in the DCEU. In its earliest days, the franchise was far from a critical darling. Though the likes of Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Suicide Squad were all commercially successful, they were largely panned by critics and

We knew this was going to happen. By Oscar Sunday, if not before, Greta Gerwig’s feature revival of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women will cross $100M at the domestic box office, a huge 33% surge in its domestic tally since notching six Oscar noms on Jan. 13 including Best Picture. While Gerwig already demonstrated her flair

The murder mystery is not only an Oscar nominee, it’s an indisputable hit with critics and fans. Knives Out also made good money at the box office this holiday season with $293 million in global earnings. Audiences couldn’t deny the packed cast that included Daniel Craig Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Michael Shannon, Christopher Plummer

Fans of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, the prequel series to Jim Henson’s 1982 fantasy film, The Dark Crystal, are still waiting for any news on whether or not a season 2 will happen. In the meantime, a new game based on the Netflix Original series may just be enough to tide fans over. The Dark

EXCLUSIVE: For a second year in a row, I hear Sony Pictures will not be holding an onstage presentation at this year’s CinemaCon, which runs from March 30-April 2 in Las Vegas. I understand Sony will make a return to CinemaCon at some point in the future, and will support this year’s confab in other

Simply put, the (motor)ball is in Mickey Mouse’s court. In the time since Alita: Battle Angel opened in theaters, Disney’s purchase of 21st Century Fox was finalized, making Disney the studio that would theoretically have to greenlight any Alita sequels. So for those fans in the Alita Army actively campaigning to get Alita 2 made,

While not a shining example of how amazing the ‘creature feature’ can be, the crossover between two well-known creature franchises, Lake Placid and Anaconda was as absolutely crazy as it sounds, and a wild ride from start to finish. Creatively titled Lake Placid vs. Anaconda, the film was released on SyFy in 2015 and starred Robert Englund of A Nightmare On

You could tell that there was something wrong with The Rhythm Section as early as last April when Paramount didn’t include the title in its CinemaCon reel of then-intended big pics like Terminator: Dark Fate and Gemini Man. After what was buzzed to be a female James Bond pic from 007 Eon producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael

Johnny Depp: If things get physical, we have to separate. We have to be apart from one another. Whether it’s for fucking an hour or 10 hours or fucking a day. We must, there can be no physical violence towards each other. Amber Heard: I agree about the physical violence, but separating for a day,

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been a staple of the first-person shooter genre since the brand first launched in 2003. The game has gone through many iterations with different changes attached to the series. The multiplayer aspect itself has gone through many different modes that are now quite familiar to most out there who

All the action over Super Bowl weekend will be in the Hard Rock Stadium down in Miami, not at the box office. Two wide entries will enter the marketplace, IM Global/Paramount/Eon’s Blake Lively R-rated femme assassin movie Rhythm Section and United Artists Releasing’s PG-13 fantasy horror Gretel & Hansel, but neither are expected to make any kind
