UPDATE, writethru: Hollywood movies had another solid holdover session at the international box office this weekend, with slight drops essentially across the board — and some new or near milestones as audiences continue to flock to cinemas for varied fare (it helps that the mercury mercifully let up in certain areas). There were no new

Almost 20 years after their first engagement ended (breaking Bennifer fans’ hearts), Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finally tied the knot last weekend. Affleck and JLo married in Vegas alongside other happy couples, opting for a quick and quiet ceremony. Following the long-awaited event, their minister opened up about the “emotional” wedding. The officiator also

Those Marvel fans who’d been missing an in-person Comic-Con for the last three years got spoiled Saturday. Not only did Kevin Feige tubthump the MCU’s Phase 4, and define its Phase 5, during the studio’s big Hall H presentation, but went so far to reveal that Phase 6 would kick off with the reboot of

Darkness is usually the best backdrop for a horror movie, as one doesn’t know what’s lurking in the corners they can’t see. When it comes to the new movie release Nope, that statement still applies to parts of the narrative but, according to star Daniel Kaluuya, writer, director and producer Jordan Peele has done something

2ND UPDATE, Saturday AM: Nope‘s box office figures haven’t changed that dramatically. In fact, Universal is calling the Jordan Peele movie slightly lower, with a Friday of $19.5 million and a $44.5 million opening.

The last time Deadpool director Tim Miller was here at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019, he was promoting his R-rated revival of the Terminator series, Terminator: Dark Fate.  There was a lot of hope around the film, and Miller was set to right the wrongs of previous installments.

Clarkson directs off Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless’s script about a clairvoyant

Top Gun: Maverick is a massive hit of a movie that shows that when people spent decades asking for a Top Gun sequel, they weren’t messing around. The movie has made over $1 billion at the box office, made Tom Cruise the biggest movie star in the world again, and seen Miles Teller go viral.

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

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.
