There are few movies in modern memory that have had the impact of James Cameron‘s Titanic. It was a sensation upon its release in 1997, becoming the highest-grossing movie of all time in the process. That success made megastars out of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, who played lovers Jack and Rose respectively. Kate Winslet

Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 keeps on soaring, reaching $799.7M globally through Tuesday.

In North America, Inside Out 2 rose to $387.8M, moving well up the domestic animated chart. After 12 days in domestic

Wednesday is one of the best shows on Netflix, with one of those reasons being because of actress Jenna Ortega.

It’s Disney/Pixar’s weekend to lose with the third session of Inside Out 2, which is expected to do $55 million-$60 million at the domestic box office — and maybe even more. At the pace it’s going, many believe it will blow past the final domestic of Illumination/Universal’s Super Mario Bros Movie which wound up with

A 21 Jump Street/Men In Black crossover may sound like an idea that originates from a movie that is satirizing Hollywood, but it was a real thing. At the end of 2014, leaked emails from Sony revealed that the project was in the works, with the intention being for it to exist as a follow-up

Kevin Costner is set to return to the big screen this summer with the first chapter of his Horizon: An American Saga film series. The upcoming films represent the realization of a dream for the actor/director, as he’s long been itching to tell this story. What seemingly makes that even sweeter for the star is

Paramount went all in on Gladiator II at CineEurope today, showing off an exclusive extended look at Ridley Scott’s sequel to his 2000 Best Picture Oscar winner.

From its visual effects to its disturbing performances to its legacy as an early entry in the demonic possession subgenre, William Friedkin’s The Exorcist remains one of the best horror movies of all time for a reason. Appropriately enough, it’s that soup-spewing je ne sais quoi that has made it so difficult for other filmmakers

The indie box office roared to life this weekend as Thelma from Magnolia Pictures saw a hefty $2.2 million on 1,280 screens and Searchlight Pictures’ Kinds of Kindness booked a stellar $70k per screen average at five theaters in LA and NY for $350k — the year’s highest per screen average and best overall limited

Margot Robbie has found many ways to make a name for herself within the entertainment industry.

Disney/Pixar‘s Inside Out 2 grossed $29.1M stateside yesterday, repping a Tuesday record for an animated movie. That beats the first Tuesday gross of 2018’s Incredibles 2 at $27M. The haul flies the Kelsey Mann-directed movie past the double century point at the domestic B.O. in its fifth day with $205.7M, making it the second-highest-grossing movie

I think it’s fair to say Emily Blunt has mastered the American accent. The British actress even earned a 2024 Oscar nomination for convincingly playing the wife of J. Robert Oppenheimer, Kitty. But apparently Blunt has spent so much time in the United States that she’s apparently experienced a change in her accent. Well, at

After knocking it out of the park with Poor Things last year, director Yorgos Lanthimos and star Emma Stone are back at the box office with Kinds Of Kindness from Searchlight, which looks set to shake up a sluggish arthouse market with the best limited opening this year. The best PTA in 2024 so far

When I first had the opportunity to watch Dogtooth in 2010, I instantly recognized writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos as a filmmaker with fascinating sensibilities and style, and I committed to keeping an eye on his work in the years ahead… but I never had even the slightest inkling that he would find what can be called

Whoever wrote that the theatrical business is dead may want to run a correction as Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 is potentially headed to a historic second weekend for an animated movie, topping Illumination/Universal’s Super Mario Bros Movie‘s $92.3M. Rival projections see $95 million for the second frame of the Kelsey Mann-directed sequel, while insiders see

The world lost one of its great actors yesterday with the passing of Donald Sutherland.

If Disney’s Tarzan has 100 fans, I’m one of them; if it has only one fan, it’s me; and if there are no fans of the animated movie on Earth, then neither am I. That’s how much I love the movie, even 25 years later.  The last in Disney’s so-called “Renaissance” era, Tarzan follows the

In the wake of Inside Out 2’s massive $295M worldwide debut last weekend, Disney Head of Global Theatrical Distribution Tony Chambers kicked off the studio’s CineEurope presentation this evening thanking exhibitors in attendance for their part in the historic start — and was met in kind by enthusiastic and clearly appreciative applause. He noted too that midweek numbers have been

Stanley Kubrick‘s Full Metal Jacket is a movie that forever sticks in your head.

Sources tell us that Disney/Pixar‘s Inside Out 2 is heading for a near $30 million Wednesday at the domestic box office — as big, if not bigger, than its $29.1M Tuesday, which was a record for an animated movie. Disney had no comment. As we always report, take the projection with a grain of salt,

For those keeping track of such things, nearly 10% – or $3,239,838 – of Broadway‘s total $36.8 million box office last week was earned by productions directed by Taymors: The Lion King‘s Julie Taymor and her niece, The Outsiders director Danya Taymor. And that’s before The Outsiders‘ big Tony-winning night on Sunday. Two of the

Some time ago, in theaters not too far from you, Spaceballs sent up the Star Wars legacy as only comedy legend Mel Brooks could. And as the man behind History of the World Part I was known to do from time to time, he joked about how one of the best ‘80s movies would have

Sony sat out CinemaCon in April this year, but was the first major studio to present at CineEurope in Barcelona today, culminating in a screening of Apple Original Films’ Scarlett Johansson/Channing Tatum-starrer Fly Me to the Moon which Sony is releasing theatrically.
