As part of my celebration of movies that came out in 1976, in this, their 50th anniversary year, I’ve been watching and rewatching a mix of movies I’ve long loved and new ones. This week, I watched The Missouri Breaks starring Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson. It’s a movie I actually never knew existed until

Undoubtedly, when it comes to upcoming DC movies, there’s a ton of excitement about the sequel to The Batman starring Robert Pattinson after his take on the Caped Crusader became a quick favorite take on the hero. And after a long wait, production is finally kicking off ahead of its release date next year. Earlier

FRIDAY AFTERNOON: Lionsgate’s Michael is the hit that keeps on giving with an expected No. 1 in weekend four of $25M+, -34%, after a $6.6M Friday at 3,560 theaters. Imax and PLF screens are giving the biopic some extra dance moves this weekend. This will ease Michael down the road to a running domestic take

DC has been going through some changes recently, thank to a new shared universe from co-CEO James Gunn. We’ve already had TV shows and Superman (which are streaming with a HBO Max subscription), but there are countless questions about upcoming DC movies. Fans are curious about which actors will play various beloved heroes, and Sterling

This weekend, it’s the holdovers which will do the heavy lifting at the May box office before Disney/Lucasfilm’s Mandalorian and Grogu arrives over Memorial Day weekend, hoping to make a difference. 20th Century Studios’ Devil Wears Prada 2 and Lionsgate’s Michael are respectively looking at third and fourth weekends that are north of $20M while

Director Matt Reeves continues to share images from The Batman: Part II, and now we have our first look at Scarlett Johansson in her mysterious role. The internet has its guesses, and it looks like they’ve settled on her playing the spouse of an iconic Batman rogue. As big names like Sebastian Stan are attached

Sterling K. Brown has a number of fabulous roles to his name (as well as some Emmys and an Oscar nomination), but apparently we’ve never seen him like this. Is God Is, which premieres May 15 on the 2026 movie calendar, is an adaptation of an Off-Broadway play from Aleshea Harris, who also wrote the

As we mentioned in our summer curtain raiser, for the most part each weekend this summer is relying on one studio tentpole film, making the first weekend in June when one of a handful where there’s actually two studios duking it out with respective event films. We’re talking Paramount/Miramax’s reboot of the Wayans brothers’ Scary

Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson have a great sense of humor about their relationship (and his Staten Island Ferry), and he continued to prove that while talking about how famous his wife is. While admitting he’s totally cool with being the “less famous” person in their relationship, he also revealed a unique problem they face

On May 16, 1986, Top Gun was released in theaters, and then on May 27, 2022, Top Gun: Maverick flew on to the big screen. Now, 40 years after the release of the first film and nearly four years after the sequel, both movies will return to the cinema alongside the projects on the 2026

Look, I know we’re not even halfway through the 2026 movie schedule, but after seeing Curry Barker’s Obsession, I’ll be incredibly surprised if any of the other upcoming horror movies this year are more terrifying than this. Once you experience it, you’ll probably find yourself asking how the heck someone came up with this. We

I don’t think the sheer trend will ever go out of style, especially since celebs are constantly upping their game and rocking new and innovative outfits that are see-through. Case in point, Demi Moore just rocked a lovely lavender gown that I’m utterly obsessed with, and we need to talk about it. Demi Moore wore

Of all the titles that make up the 2026 movie schedule, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is easily one of the most talked-about entries on it. Not all that buzz has been totally positive, though, as some Internet users are already sharing gripes with the film ahead of its release. Up until this point, Nolan has

Brad Pitt has managed something almost strange by modern celebrity standards: he has remained one of the most recognizable actors alive without turning himself into a content machine. He has no official social media accounts, and for a movie star whose face has been everywhere for decades, he has stayed noticeably absent from the platforms.

Last week’s Tony Award nominations worked some magic at the box office of the awards contenders, with nearly all of the productions in the major categories reporting box office bumps in the days after Tuesday’s Tony announcements. Similarly, productions that were disappointed with the nominations – Beaches, Dog Day Afternoon, The Fear of 13 –

The past few months have seen Shia LaBeouf’s name splashed across a number of headlines for multiple reasons. It was in February that the 39-year-old actor was arrested and charged with two counts of simple battery after a reported scuffle in New Orleans. And, weeks later, LaBeouf reportedly drummed up even more less-than-positive press due

Not too long ago, I rewatched the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie, and I felt a need to apologize. You see, I initially thought that the 2021 movie sucked, and I realized upon a rewatch that while it didn’t reach the heights of the original, it still had a lot going for it, and I was

While I think The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a fun sequel, I’m ready for the next movie on the setlist of Anne Hathaway’s “Eras tour.” For nearly a decade, fans of the Princess Diaries movies hoped for a third installment, and Anne Hathaway confirmed in 2024 that the sequel was officially in development and

The DCU is still in its infancy, but fans are excited for the upcoming DC movies that co-CEO James Gunn is crafting. But Matt Reeves‘ The Batman franchise isn’t set within the shared universe, and therefore operates on its own rules. The highly anticipated sequel will feature Sebastian Stan as Harvey Dent/ Two-Face, and he’s

As expected, 20th Century Studio’s Devil Wears Prada 2 was the fashion supreme at the worldwide weekend box office with a second frame of $118.8M ($43M domestic, a sexy hold of -44%, and $75.8M international in 51 territories, a -46% hold), taking its running global cume to $433.2M ($144.8M stateside, $288.4M abroad), and sending Disney

It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 25 years since The Sorcerer’s Stone jump-started the Harry Potter movies. Unsurprisingly, it looks like some Wizarding World festivities have already been initiated to commemorate that major milestone. With that, some of the actors who portrayed members of the wonderful Weasley family recently reunited to surprise the fans.

Spoilers below for anyone who hasn’t yet entered the tournament and watched Mortal Kombat II, so be warned! 2026 has already been a pretty solid year for video game adaptations, with several promising options still set to release in 2026.

The strong gross was built on sold out Q&A and non-Q&A screenings alike at

Legacy sequels might be becoming more common in Hollywood, but the upcoming Spaceballs 2 seems like a project to get excited about.

Zendaya fans are about to have the year of their life.

Of course, her next project to premiere is none other than Christopher Nolan’s summer

Going to the movies used to be an easy sell of an activity because it was affordable, but these days it can easily cost $40 a person, once you buy a ticket and concessions. That results in consumers being understandably more picky when it comes to deciding which one of the 2026 movie releases they’ll

Today, Devil Wears Prada 2 will outstrip the original 2006’s global lifetime of $326.5M at the worldwide box office.

It’s no secret that Tom Holland and Zendaya are starring in two films on the 2026 movie schedule together. However, I just realized Jon Bernthal is also in those two flicks. Now, The Punisher actor is opening up about working with Holland specifically on both Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey, and after hearing
