For a good collection of people, Disney movies have been a staple of their childhoods. And for some of these fans, the idea of being in or working on one is a dream. That was the case for Princess and the Frog’s Anika Noni Rose, as she recently looked back at the emotional first steps

It’s a big day for stage and screen legend Dick Van Dyke, as the actor turned 99 years old on December 13. I’m not sure what the man possibly known best for his eponymous 1960s sitcom and for playing Bert in Mary Poppins — the best Disney movie of its decade — had planned to

Jerry Bruckheimer is responsible for some of the most popular movies ever made. From some of the best ‘80s classics, like Beverly Hills Cop and Flashdance, to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to, oh yeah, a couple of small movies called Top Gun, the producer has made so many box office hits it’s difficult

For all the blah blah that people don’t go to the movies before Christmas, and that moviegoing mushrooms from Christmas Day onward, two holdovers, Moana 2 and Wicked are expected to hold over quite well, with respectively $28M and $20M, -45% a piece, while two incoming fanboy movies fall apart: Sony Marvel’s $110M extended Spider-verse

The James Bond franchise has long been a lightning rod for discussions about tradition, reinvention and gender representation. With Daniel Craig’s departure from the role of 007, speculation over who might don the iconic tuxedo in the upcoming James Bond 26 has run rampant.

Broadway settled back down to some post-Thanksgiving normalcy last week, dropping about 9% to $42,021,721 from the holiday high of the previous week.

While it’s been a decade since Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth saga was first in theaters, the enduring legacy of his Lord of the Rings trilogy has not dimmed.

EXCLUSIVE: Lionsgate‘s Lucy Hale comedy-mystery F*** Marry Kill hit digital store shelves and PVOD this past Friday, December 6 — then disappeared a few hours later.

Refresh for latest…: It was smooth sailing for Disney’s Moana 2 this weekend as it reached $600M global following last frame‘s record-breaking bow.

No joke, I’ve watched Home Alone more than just about any movie. Born in the ‘80s and raised in ‘90s, watching Kevin McCallister defend his house from the Wet Bandits has pretty much been a holiday tradition for as long as I can remember. One of the best Christmas movies of all time, this classic

This was a notable specialty weekend with Latvian animated Flow powering on and Luca Quadagnino’s Queer starring Daniel Craig rocking its expansion. A notable trio of concert films popped. Telugu Pushpa: The Rule – Part 2 had a super opening, the biggest for an Indian film in some time, as did Solo Leveling – ReAwakening,

Well, I would say it is about time that an actor as talented as Cristin Milioti finally gets the attention she deserves. All it took was a role on one of the best 2024 TV shows, The Penguin, as Sofia Falcone. Let’s start there as I highlight my picks for the best Cristin Milioti movies

An army of indies are populating the last few weeks of the year in a fall box office that’s the most buoyant it’s been in years but still picks and chooses among specialty fare which travels from festival standouts to the Odyssey to Y2K.   The latter is A24’s dial-up disaster hijinks, the directorial debut

Last weekend, Apple Martin – the daughter of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and singer Chris Martin – made headlines in a major way.

FRIDAY PM: For all the chatter in years past about people getting distracted by holiday stuff, if there’s one thing that’s on their list this weekend, it’s going to the movies. Disney’s Moana 2 will see a second weekend of $55M-$60M, the most any No. 1 movie has seen during the historically ratcheted down post-Thanksgiving

As the year soon comes to an end, I’ve been catching up on 2024 movies I didn’t have the chance to see in theaters, including Twisters now that it is streaming for those with a Peacock subscription. I’ll admit, I didn’t have high expectations for the sequel to the ‘90s classic over the summer, but

EXCLUSIVE: Universal/Warner Bros’ Twisters has debuted as streamer Peacock‘s biggest Pay 1 film ever in its 14 days on the platform.

The Lee Isaac Chung directed, Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones starring sequel

[For the full experience, pretend you’re reading this review on a Nokia phone screen that’s the size of two stamps.] 1999 was a banner year for social and pop culture WTF-ery — from virtual pets and baggy clothing to Woodstock ’99 and Total Request Live — and the pot of golden chaos waiting at the

Numbers are fun as many a math teacher once said, and in a rivalry between Disney’s Moana 2 and Universal’s Wicked, the latter is having the upper hand at the U.S./Canada box office, not just yesterday, but today as well. Wicked made $5M on Wednesday, and is looking at $4.5M today, -10%. That’s ahead of

Glinda descending in her bubble at the beginning of Wicked and singing “No One Mourns the Wicked” is honestly unforgettable. In both the Broadway musical and the film that just premiered on the 2024 movie schedule, it’s an iconic opening moment that features a jaw-dropping and detailed gown. However, there’s a big difference between the

Moana 2‘s “Hauʻoli lākou” aka good luck continues this weekend as it eyes a $60M second frame. For the post-Thanksgiving first weekend of December, that’s an absolute mind-blowing record for a No. 1-ranking title, whether holdover or new release. The previous high for this frame was in 2019, when the third weekend of Frozen 2

Moana 2 is already a massive box office hit, which is great news for a lot of people. It’s certainly big for the stars like Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson, but it’s probably also great news for Jack Black, who, according to his Jumanji co-star is a big fan of the first movie. Speaking with
