The 2024 horror movie schedule has been filled to the brim with great releases… but nothing has been quite like The Substance. I am a huge horror fan. I’m sure if you’ve read my writings, then you already know that. I love the best horror movies and TV shows, and I will fully support the

The new untitled Spider-Man movie has been added to the release calendar for July 24, 2026, with Tom Holland returning as the webslinger and Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton directing. No other movies are dated on that weekend. The fourth installment opens in the wake of a

Speaking as a longtime horror fan, I cannot think of a villain who has unsettled me quite as ferociously as the Terrifier movies’ Art the Clown, and can’t think of any upcoming horror movies that’ll change that. Not because I generally get scared at creepy clown movies — at least, I didn’t before — but

Indie releases from limited (Memoir of a Snail) to wide (Conclave) are testing an increasingly lively specialty box office heading into awards season with a handful of decorated documentaries this week including Dahomey, Black Box Diaries, My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock and Another Kind of Wilderness and some notable expansions. Also hitting theaters this weekend,

Some SPOILERS are ahead for The Substance. I’m perfectly happy walking out of a movie theater with a smug smile on my face after enjoying a fun little escape out of the corners of my reality to a dark room with a group of strangers. But, every once in a while, a film like The

EXCLUSIVE: Kino Lorber and Zeitgeist Films have acquired North American rights Bruce David Klein’s feature documentary Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story which follows the career of and life of Liza Minnelli.

One project that is quickly becoming one of my most highly-anticipated upcoming 2025 movies is The Running Man remake from writer/director Edgar Wright. The cast has already been stacked, between Glen Powell and Josh Brolin joining in a key role as well last week, but now there’s going to be a big Scott Pilgrim vs.

FRIDAY UPDATE AFTER EXCLUSIVE: Sony/Marvel’s Venom: The Last Dance is coming in at $8.5 million in previews. There was a feeling the third Venom would be slightly higher in previews, and here it is. As we told you last night, that beats the $7.6M previews of Dwayne Johnson and DC’s Black Adam and the $7.5M

With just about two months left on the 2024 movie schedule, it’s clear that the Wicked release date will be bringing a lot of audiences to movie theaters – when it opens alongside Gladiator II on the same day. Ahead of experiencing the movie on the big screen next month, the movie’s costume designer has

New Regency’s Brad Pitt and Ed Norton gritty noir, Fight Club, is 25 years old and to celebrate there’s a 4K Ultra HD remaster overseen by David Fincher with plans for a theatrical re-release as well as a companion art book from the studio and Insight Editions.

All signs point to 2025 being a massive year in the world of upcoming Stephen King adaptations. There are as many as four films based on of the author’s books on pace to get a theatrical release and two new television shows set to premiere. That being said, if you don’t have the patience to

Sony’s Venom: The Last Dance chomped into its first suite of international box office markets today, with the Marvel symbiote nabbing a strong $9.3M start in China. This is the biggest opening day for a superhero film since Spider-Man: Far From Home in the market, and portends a five-day launch in the upper $30M neighborhood there.

With New York Comic-Con 2024 now in the rear view, some of the fun and games promised on the schedule of upcoming 2025 movies is about to become even more intense. Whether you’re a fan of the Karate Kid franchise or not, it’s not hard to already call Karate Kid: Legends as one of the

With the last couple of October weekends stateside being off from the strike-laden marketplace a year ago, here’s hoping that superhero sequelitis and moviegoers’ erratic attitudes toward prestige fare don’t push the theatrical marketplace down further. Sony this weekend has its Marvel title Venom: The Last Dance, which is bound to see its lowest opening

Following in the footsteps of Russell Crowe, it’s fellow Oscar-nominee Paul Mescal’s turn to battle in the Colosseum for Gladiator II.

Sunset Blvd. and Romeo + Juliet added some major heft to Broadway’s autumn box office last week, with the ecstatically reviewed Blvd. grossing $1,211,699 even with press comps during its opening week, and R+J, selling out its eight previews at Circle in the Square, taking $1,056,775. R+J, starring starring Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler, opens

Denzel Washington has had a long and successful career and, in the process, he’s become one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors. So the thought of him retiring from the business is a bit daunting, but it would seem that he’s inching closer to riding off into the proverbial sunset. Before he does that, though, the

SPOILER WARNING: The following article contains minor spoilers for Alien: Romulus. If you have not yet seen the film, proceed at your own risk!

I love a great many movie genres, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be horror. I’ve discussed the greatest horror franchises before on this website, as well as contributed to our listing of the greatest horror movies of all time.

Great indie numbers this weekend as Anora turned out highest per-screen-average of 2024 at $90k on six screens for a $540k gross.

Much like an episode of Saturday Night Live, the film Saturday Night is filled with an overwhelming number of characters and chaotic energy. I mean that in a complimentary way, because it was incredible seeing a wonderful cast of young actors playing comedy legends like John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Garrett Morris and more.

Video game and horror film fanatics were swarming around the horror adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy’s.
