Universal’s Nope, one of the few remaining tentpoles in a rebounding summer box office, looks to provide a lift this weekend with an estimated $50M start at 3,700 theaters with an eye at guys 17-34. Nope is the third genre film from Oscar winner Jordan Peele, and while its start in U.S./Canada will be above that of his

JLo is J-Aff! Ok, I’m not sure that one is going to catch on, but Jennifer Lopez is most certainly Mrs. Affleck as of this past weekend. The Marry Me actress and Ben Affleck tied the knot on Saturday in Las Vegas with a super private affair. Lopez wore a wedding dress borrowed from an

Refresh for latest…: The phenomenon that is Top Gun: Maverick continues as the Tom Cruise-starrer has surpassed the $600M mark at the international box office. This comes just days after it flew by $600M domestic. Now heading into its 8th weekend of global release, the Paramount/Skydance stunner has reached across $1.2B through Thursday worldwide. The

Anticipation has been high for Jordan Peele’s Nope, following his previous two (critically acclaimed) forays into the horror genre: 2017’s Get Out 2019’s Us. Details of Nope’s plot have been kept intentionally sparse, because the writer/director wants to the film to be an unexpected experience for his audiences. Have no fear – the movie has

Refresh for latest…: There remains plenty of action at the international box office as we head into the dog days of summer and with fewer wide releases to come. This past week and weekend includes milestones aplenty for such films as Thor: Love And Thunder, Minions: The Rise Of Gru, Jurassic World Dominion, and the

The second time turned out to be the charm for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Bennifer 2.0 made it to the altar this time around, reportedly tying the knot in the always-popular Las Vegas, three months after the actor got down on one knee and proposed to his love for the second time — while

It is inconceivable to think that The Princess Bride has been around for over three decades. It was 35 years ago when director Rob Reiner and Academy Award-winning screenwriter William Goldman released this hilarious, thrilling, and romantic fairy tale adventure adapted from a book that Goldman, himself, also penned. The real key to the enduring

In a remarkable benchmark for an adult, female-skewing movie, especially with a 2 hour 39 minute running time, Warner Bros.’ Elvis has crossed the $100M mark at the domestic box office. As we’ve written, the feat provides a lot of promise on a number of levels. It’s a win for older counter-programming at a U.S./Canada box office

Following his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp has been lining up new projects, seemingly indicating that his career is picking up again after his legal troubles.

Sony/3000 Pictures/Hello Sunshine’s Where the Crawdads Sing is off to a great start in the pandemic, particularly for a female-skewing property, with $2.3M off Thursday showtimes that began at 3PM in 3,150 theaters.

Fans of Dune have had reason to feel a touch disappointed recently, as it was reported earlier this month that our wait time for Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 2 has been increased – with the blockbuster sequel’s release date shifted by about a month, from October of next year to November 2023.

It’s been months but the events of this year’s Oscar night are still being discussed.

Adam Sandler has made it a habit of working with many of his co-stars on multiple projects. Whether that be David Spade, Kevin James, Steve Buscemi, Jennifer Aniston or Drew Barrymore, given Sandler’s friendly track record with other Hollywood talent, he must be pretty fun to work with. This trend is about to continue with

When Dwayne Johnson takes the stage at San Diego Comic-Con next week, it would be truly seismic if he was to announce that Warner Bros. was moving up the release date to its New Line/DC movie Black Adam from Oct. 21 to earlier in the fall. However, that’s not going to happen. A pile-up of big

The life of Amy Winehouse definitely has the makings of a biopic film. Just like with music biopics such as Selena, Judy and Bohemian Rhapsody where a young musician’s life is cut short, Amy Winehouse sadly falls in this category. The 27-year-old singer passed away from alcohol poisoning eleven years ago, but her story will
