Brandy Corbet’s The Brutalist from A24 hammered its way into theaters this weekend with one of the best limited openings of 2024 (no. 3 after Anora and Kinds of Kindness). It sold out nearly 30 showtimes in New York and Los Angeles for a gross of $266.8k on four screens for a per screen opening

After becoming the first studio of 2024 to hit $2 billion at the domestic box office earlier this week, Disney has now claimed a new milestone. Based on today’s estimates, the Walt Disney Studios has crossed $5 billion globally. The total worldwide estimate is $5.06 billion. Of that, $2.054 billion comes from North America and

The highly anticipated A24 drama Babygirl has been generating buzz for its steamy sex scenes performed by Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson and the taboo romance at the center. While erotic thrillers can be fun for an audience, the craft of directing intimate scenes is unique, and lately has been re-examined. The use of intimacy

Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King is not as regal as hoped in its global debut. The cume through three days of international box office play is $33M, which, with the domestic outlook, portends a $125M worldwide start through Sunday.

The movie is from

Even though our very own Mike Reyes gave Red One a positive review not too long ago, I’ve heard nothing but people talking smack about it all over the internet. Even though some of us here have defended the film, I was still pretty hesitant to believe that Red One could be anything more than

UPDATE: Sony Pictures Classics has set a release date of Feb. 14 for Becoming Led Zeppelin on 1000 screens.

The 2025 movie schedule is chock full of massive films, including the much anticipated Jurassic World Rebirth.

If 2024 will be remembered for anything, it will be the absolute return of Disney at the box office.

Gift cards may seem like a cop out, but where streaming service gift cards are concerned, really, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. What’s more, with the last days for delivery in time for Christmas fast approaching, with something like a Disney Plus gift card you don’t need to rely on any physical goods

The build-up to Christmas is being very generous with Broadway. In some cases, very, very generous. Among the most impressive box office developments last week was the welcome given to All In: Comedy About Love, based on the short stories of writer Simon Rich, read live by such performers as, initially, John Mulaney, Fred Armisen,

The Harry Potter movies made stars out of the three young actors who played Harry, Ron, and Hermione, making Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson household names.

When I first heard about Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, I had a feeling this was going to be one of the most remarkable and emotional experiences on the 2024 movie schedule. When I saw the documentary’s beautiful trailer over the summer, I made a note to watch it as soon as it became available

Awards kudos, critics’ lists, varied nominations and wins are boosting indie film standouts this weekend.

I’m a man who was born in 1983 (but consider myself a ‘90s kid), so I have to be a huge fan of Transformers, right? Well…not exactly. Thundercats? You betcha. G.I. Joe? You know it! And don’t even get me started on the Ninja Turtles, because I’ve probably written more about them than anything else
