Today Scott Cooper issued an open letter, applauding the Senate’s passage of the $2.2 trillion relief bill as a “much-need positive news to an industry I cherish”, particularly in regards to how it’s primed to help movie theaters during this time when they have fixed costs to maintain over several months, and zero revenue coming

Laura Bell Bundy also made a point of expressing some of the thoughts that crossed her mind while she in fact has coronavirus. She thought she might be paranoid about it and actually have allergies or acid reflux, so it sounds like it’s a good thing she caught the real diagnosis. Bundy also clarified that
Warning! Spoilers for Batman: Curse of the White Knight #8 below Batman is now behind bars as he turned himself in to Gotham PD after killing Azrael.

In advance of the Senate’s passage of the $2 trillion relief bill, The National Association of Theatre Owners already is celebrating the agreement as a big win for movie theaters, particularly the $454B loan guarantee fund which will help cinemas get by on their fixed costs as local and state governments force a shutdown out of
2021 was always going to be a big year for movies, as there were a ton of highly anticipated blockbusters heading to theaters, especially within the MCU and DCEU. But with studios pulling movies and rescheduling them a year in advance, it looks like it’s going to be an even more chaotic set of months.
Disney+’s release in UK doesn’t have Frozen 2 streaming on the service despite it being made available early in the United States.

With the closure of movie theaters nationwide out of safety during the coronavirus, layoffs have been rampant, with the Big Three exhibitors contending with these atrocious times in varying degrees of severity.

Looking at the two halves of the so-called Sandlerverse of films, and thinking back to the performances that Adam Sandler has delivered throughout, it’s easy to agree with that sentiment. True, not everyone enjoyed the Netflix original films The Ridiculous 6, Sandy Wexler, or The Do Over, just to mention a few of those supposed
Gathering resources is an essential process in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Whether it be to upgrade your tools, build large projects, or complete tasks, the player will need to gather a bunch of resources. One of these resources is Iron Nuggets.

No shocker here but Sony’s Bad Boys for Life, like several other current theatrical releases of late, will be available in homes as early as March 31 on digital, and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-Ray, and DVD on April 21. The film opened on Jan. 17 so technically in regards to its DVD drop, Bad Boys for
Cage Has A Fist Fight Atop Moving Vehicles On A Busy Street One of my favorite moments in xXx: Return Of Xander Cage is the stellar “Cars Vs. Fists” scene where Cage is chasing Xiang (Donnie Yen) atop moving vehicles on a busy street. How either of the two characters survived constantly falling off cars,
Rage. Sing, oh Goddess, of the rage of gamers, murderous, fickle, who hope that A Total War Saga: Troy will be a faithful adaptation of Homer’s The Illiad, an entertaining video game of tactics and strategy, and an authentic look at the warfare of Bronze-Age Greece. These three sources will be tricky to balance, but if the Muses bless the efforts of game studio
Despite Senate Democrats blocking the near $2 trillion stimulus package intended to rescue the U.S. economy during the coronavirus crisis, the National Association of Theatre Owners chief John Fithian is “hopeful” that a bipartisan compromise will be reached in the near future. “They’re not at an impasse,” Fithian told Deadline Sunday. “This is just part
As you can see, and as noted in the caption, what makes this version of Dormammu distinctive compared to the version that is in the finished cut of Doctor Strange is the simple fact that he has a more human-like form. One can imagine that he would still be presented as a giant, towering over
Disney’s Frozen 2 draws many parallels to the journey’s of multiple leading characters featured in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of The Rings franchise — including Anna’s story. While Elsa (Idina Menzel), the Queen of Arendelle and the fifth spirit, undertakes a voyage of self-discovery in Frozen 2, which is reminiscent of Gandalf the Grey’s journey in The Lord
EXCLUSIVE: We understand that this has been in the works for a while, but the Media Rights Capital/Paramount comedy The Lovebirds is heading over to Netflix.

A streaming date for the
Rae Carson, who was tasked with writing the novelization for The Rise of Skywalker, recently chatted with StarWars.com, during which she discussed the film’s final scene. Although she acknowledges that it was controversial for many viewers, she was pleased with the decision. Aside from believing that it made sense for Rey as a character, the
The reveals from the novelization of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker have confirmed that Disney has no solid plan for Star Wars. This is despite the existence of the Star Wars Story Group, which is supposed to plan things out and keep all Star Wars media consistent with a broader vision. There have been signs of this
This was inevitable given last night’s news that Disney was suspending global box office reporting for the time being: Comscore, the B.O. reporting agency and data cross-ways for exhibitors and distributors, is no longer issuing a North American Top 10, Global chart or commentary in the weekends ahead while theaters are shutdown. Essentially, if one
Whoa! With coronavirus being talked about left and right, Disney fans have realized that it was the same name as the kingdom Rapunzel hails from in Tangled. The word “Corona” can be derived from the Latin word for “crown,” which is the symbol of royalty. It makes sense why Disney would use the word to
Nobody makes Coen Brothers movies as well as the Coens do, as we’ve seen on those rare occasions where another filmmaker tries their hand at directing one of their original scripts. Blown the Man Down, which serves as the feature debut for writing-directing duo Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy, invites comparisons to the Coens’ Blood Simple and Oscar-winning
Just to give you an idea of how bad things are right now at the box office… While yesterday reached the lowest we’ve seen at the domestic B.O. with $260K for all titles, it’s not a historical low yet because we haven’t seen how horrible today is yet. Yesterday was -98% from the third Wednesday
The scene isn’t specifically necessary in either movie. It’s just a fun action sequence that puts a video game like obstacle in the way of the characters. It could have easily been placed in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, perhaps in place of the rhino stampede, but apparently it was decided that it didn’t quite
This article contains spoilers for X-Force #9 and Excalibur #9. It’s official: Marvel’s X-Men timeline isn’t making any sense at all. Jonathan Hickman’s X-Men relaunch has turned the entire Marvel Universe upside-down. The entire mutant race has gathered on the living island of Krakoa, and they’re attempting to forge a new life – one of peace, rather than
We are hearing from U.S. industry sources as well as those on the ground in the PRC that the offices of China Film Group in Shanghai and those of China’s Film Bureau are re-opened for business, a sign that the country’s exhibition is on its way to a gradual recovery after being shuttered since the
Women are beautiful during pregnancy, but it looks like Scarlett Johansson wasn’t feeling her best while filming Avengers: Age of Ultron pregnant. Particularly during scenes where she flirted with Mark Ruffalo and Bruce Banner pined over Natasha Romanoff. But this discomfort didn’t show on camera, which is a testament to the performance of both actors.
Marvel Unlimited, the online and mobile platform for digital comics from the publisher of Spider-Man, The X-Men, and The Avengers, offers a universe of adventure and hours of escape from the crushing boredom that comes with the new reality of social distancing.

No surprise here, but Lionsgate has just undated horror pic Antebellum, the Sarah Paulson thriller Run and the Chris Rock-Samuel L. Jackson SAW chapter Spiral. The pics will remain undated for the time being as Lionsgate evaluates the next steps, dates, and strategies for bringing the titles back once the nation’s exhibition infrastructure is back on track. Antebellum was set for release
So depending on how long this pandemic lasts, it’s entirely possible that Morbius could end up being pushed back to later in 2020 or even into 2021. Should that happen, then one would imagine that would result in Venom 2, the third Sony Marvel universe movie, also being delayed to make room for Morbius’ later
Behind-the-scenes images showing Palpatine’s new costume from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker have been posted online.
