We all have holes in our pop culture awareness. As a film critic, I generally feel that I have a professional responsibility to fill my personal holes… but there are only so many hours in a day, and there are new movies that premiere every single week. This is my baseline excuse for why I

Monster movies have been on the rise for a while, and with new takes on classics like Dracula and The Invisible Man, the market is only gaining speed. The much anticipated Wolf Man is just around the corner, making its debut on our 2025 Movie schedule. The modern-day interpretation has all the basics of the
The MUBI production, Bring Them Down, starring Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott, is hitting theaters on Feb. 7, 2025. Pic directed by Christopher Andrews, who is making his feature directing debut, follows Michael (Abbott) who is the last son of a farming family, and lives an isolated existence with his ailing, cantankerous father Ray.
After decades of doing comedy work and then jumping into dramatic territory with Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Bob Odenkirk made his action genre debut in 2021 with Nobody. The movie quickly earned positive critical reception and performed decently at the box office, so talk of a potential sequel was inevitable. Now we know
Sunset Blvd. had its best box office numbers yet last week, while Maybe Happy Ending showed some welcome improvement and both Elf and A Wonderful World opened to houses with 90% of seats filled. The pre-holiday news wasn’t quite so cheery for all of Broadway though, as no fewer than 26 of the 37 productions
Unless we see a miracle akin to jumping a 1970 Dodge Charger off of an exploding dam and surviving to share the story, the upcoming 2025 movies won’t include Fast X Part 2. That’s, of course, not the final name for the picture, as everything we know about Fast and Furious 11 still paints this
The Hating Game’s Lucy Hale has been hard at work, staring in a handful of rom-coms for some of the best streaming services recently. Now, she’s set to return to the big screen with the release of the sci-fi thriller White Mars. No stranger to thrillers, considering she’s best known for Pretty Little Liars (which
Universal’s female Jurassic World movie if you will, the feature take of Broadway musical Wicked, is expected to pull in any every single woman to the tune of a $125M-$150M domestic opening. Add in an extra $40M-$50M from overseas. By every single woman, we mean stateside, in which pre-sales are through the roof. The movie
The long-awaited return to The Grid isn’t far off, as the long-anticipated Tron: Ares is among the many tentpole releases slated for the 2025 movies schedule. However, in addition to most of the Ares cast being comprised of new faces, the sequel will also be lacking Daft Punk, the electronic music duo who composed Tron:
Lord of the Rings fans have been eating really well lately, as it’s been a while since the franchise has delivered content so consistently. Aside from The Rings of Power Season 3, we can look forward to a new live-action film that takes place in the timeline of the original movie trilogy. So it’s no
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has had a prolific acting career bringing his muscles and smolder to action and comedy films. With his string of the former wrestler’s upcoming movies not stopping anytime soon, it’s only natural for him to have fans. Johnson’s recent photo op wasn’t just a weird experience because of the fans, but
UPDATED: Storming 63 international box office markets in its opening frame, and before domestic enters the arena this coming week, Paramount and Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II has debuted to an estimated $87M. This is within our pre-release projection, and also marks the biggest overseas start for a Ridley Scott-directed film, as well as Paramount’s best
As someone whose horror fandom has been solidified for more than three decades — a horrific thought in and of itself — I’m not often thrown for a loop when watching anything genre-forward for the first time. And though I’ll maintain that mindset going into screenings of all the upcoming horror movies on the way,
The Substance, the Cannes Film Festival winning, Coralie Fargeat-scripted & directed Demi Moore body swap horror movie, is poised to bust to great heights at the global box office with a $70M-$75M take. That’s quite a landmark for the Working Title produced-2 hour and 21-minute running, French shot movie which has the Ghost and $2.5
We’re somehow just three years away from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery turning the ripe and randy age of 30, which seems fortuitous, considering Mike Myers’ titular lothario first emerged in 1997 after being held in cryogenic stasis for a 30-year stretch. So is it possible that after all these years, the fan-favorite super-cool
November in 2024 can be described as backloaded at the box office. With Kelly Marcel’s Venom: The Last Dance hitting theaters in late October and major studios giving it a good amount of runway (arguably an error in retrospect, given the movie’s soft domestic debut), it’s been a couple weeks since the big screen got
Hello, Love, Again, the widest domestic release for a Filipino film, now holds a record for the highest opening weekend for the same with $2.4 million and a no. 8 spot. Jesse Eisenberg’s A Real Pain crossed $3 million at the box office following its expansion to more than 1,000 theaters in week 3, landing
Throughout the decades, Hollywood has seen several different trends in which many movies involving a certain type of animal are released, from monkeys to pigs to penguins, etc. However, one animal that has managed to stand the test of time better than any other is the horse, which has been the star of several fun
Partners Sideshow Pictures and Janus Films open All We Imagine As Light on Friday and will follow the playbook for Drive My Car, the indie distributor’s first film that began a slow rollout about this time in 2021, collecting awards, nice grosses and finishing with an International Picture Oscar win amid a flurry of nominations.
Celebrities are just like us: especially since they live all over the world, and increasingly less in California. When it comes to Kate Middleton’s sister Pippa, and her husband James Matthews, apparently the couple’s move to the English countryside has started a quiet stir in the town of West Berkshire, where they have been living
It feels like baby fever has gripped Hollywood as of late, as a number of major stars have given birth to little ones over the past month or so. Margot Robbie welcomed her first child with husband Tom Ackerley just a few weeks ago, while Alexandra Daddario announced her first baby’s birth on Halloween. As

Paul Mescal is a rising star taking on Ridley Scott’s high-budget sequel Gladiator II. Playing Lucius Verus, the sequel’s trailer shows the Irish actor in an all-out Roman war fighting a rhinoceros and other threats, all while having to wear Ancient Roman armor and battle gear. Just when we thought superhero suits were uncomfortable for
Disney has pulled the second Star Wars movie dated for December 18, 2026, off the calendar. We hear it wasn’t certain that one pertained to the continuing adventures of Daisy Ridley’s Rey Skywalker. Going in that spot is Ice Age 6, which was announced at D23 Brazil a week ago. As Deadline first reported, Simon Kinberg is
In the 2010s, Robert Pattinson was known for starring in the Twilight movies while Jennifer Lawrence earned massive fame for being in the Hunger Games films. Certainly these two would have a lot to talk about if they ever got together, right? Well, as it turns out, the actors have already had numerous conversations on
The Music Brings Life non-profit organization hosted a special assembly at the Brooklyn based John Dewey High School where they presented their heartwarming film “Students Are Heroes: A Sickle Cell Warrior’s Story” with the hope of raising both blood and awareness to the shortage of blood in the African-American, Latino and Caribbean communities. These communities specifically possess more precise
The 2024 movie schedule has been a treasure trove for horror enthusiasts, delivering some of the best horror movies the genre has seen in a decade. Leading the pack is Demi Moore’s The Substance, a standout that reaffirms the power of female-led horror. With its psychological depth, razor-sharp social commentary, and unsettling body horror, it
The very expensive but typically priced Dwayne Johnson-starring, $200 million-plus Christmas package Red One began its box office journey last night with previews totaling $3.7 million. Note that the figure also includes monies from a Sunday special screening. The movie has been sitting still on tracking for quite some time with a $30M-$35M projection for
2022’s Danish thriller Speak No Evil left me and others unsettled in the best way with its dark nature, the overall messaging, and the choices that led to the ending. It’s a brilliant horror film that deserved major award recognition at the time, and thus, I was excited and worried about James Watkins’ Speak No
