Just to be clear, Universal Pictures has in no way said it’s exploring bringing the Fast & Furious and Jurassic World franchises together, let alone greenlit the project.

Zendaya, everyone’s favorite millennial Renaissance woman (singer, actor, dancer, model, fashion it-girl, etc.), sat down with Entertainment Weekly to chat about her role as Lola Bunny.

The contestants on Too Hot To Handle season 2 broke rules left and right, but Lana was there to make sure they were penalized for their banned adult actions.

The Grand Theft Auto franchise is chock full of mini-games, running the gamut from fully-featured missions to activities that feel more like afterthoughts.

Questlove’s Summer of Soul (…Or When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised) will hit a cumulative $1.4 million rising to an estimated $1.47 million Monday with a $375,000 second-week gross in 752 theaters.

While obviously the big takeaway here is that Sly and Arnold are back in action (or, at least, back in face-to-face communication), the Expendables co-stars also met up with Ralf Moeller and Frank Stallone, making for a truly sweet reunion for all. But ahead of meeting up with each other, both actors managed to keep

The U.S. box office is having the best weekend since Sonic The Hedgehog‘s release during Presidents Day weekend 2020.

There may not be two properties more synonymous with their medium than Dungeons & Dragons and Grand Theft Auto. When people think of tabletop roleplaying, Dungeons & Dragons is the name they’re most likely to know.

The prevailing thought in the aftermath of this has been that Darren Cross is dead, but it doesn’t seem impossible that he could still be alive… albeit somewhere else. Rather than being killed inside his suit, he may have just had an incredibly violent ride to the Quantum Realm, which is expected to be a

It’s no secret that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker failed to complete the sequel trilogy in a satisfying way, and Chewbacca’s medal was just one example of how fan service hurt the film’s chances at success. Without a consistent vision for the sequels’ arc and mitigating the tragic loss of Carrie Fisher, J.J. Abrams was

In March 2020, the box office was essentially cryogenically frozen thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s been slowly thawing out ever since, with things crawling back towards normal. Week to week we would see some movies hit big, but mandates and restrictions kept the market limited. This weekend, however, the industry has finally crossed a
