Since Vin Diesel has played Dominic Toretto for over two decades now, it’s easy to forget that there will come a post–Fast And Furious time for the actor. But Diesel has been teasing closing the book on the franchise in order to give the movie series its “own ending,” and reports have pointed to next

FRIDAY PM: “Great number,” heralds one rival distributor about the weekend results for A24‘s Civil War which will easily become the studio’s biggest opening of all-time at $23M-$25M after $10M Friday/previews at 3,838 theaters. That beats the $13.5M start of Ari Aster’s 2018 movie Hereditary. It’s an impressive result for a movie which is set

Top Gun: Maverick was a colossal hit when it hit theaters in the summer of 2022, not only at the box office and Academy Awards, but through the viral moments it created for its stars. Memorably, Miles Teller’s shirtless dancing as Rooster became a huge deal on the internet. Almost two years later, Teller is

Warning: MASSIVE SPOILERS for Alex Garland’s Civil War are in play. It doesn’t matter what type of American you are, but there are some pretty revealing details ahead. Some pictures are just made to spark conversation, and writer/director Alex Garland’s Civil War absolutely fits that bill. The 2024 movie is the latest from the man

Sasquatch Sunset directors Nathan and David Zellner (Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter) always wondered what these hairy giants do when they’re not walking – the only Bigfoot footage available has been a minute of a supposed Sasquatch wandering in the northern California woods. They decided to flesh that out in unique dialogue-free comedic imagining of the

A Simple Favor 2 is finally happening, and I can die happy now.  Okay, dramatics aside, when A Simple Favor came out in 2018, I knew for a fact that this movie would become my whole personality for the next couple of years, and it did, because I have recommended this movie to almost every

Disney truly saved the best for last at CinemaCon — and that’s Dwayne Johnson. You can’t call it a CinemaCon without the action star, who is a regular here. Before he stepped onstage, a group of Hawaiian dancers and percussionists performed. They were shortly joined by the man who voices the film’s demigod, Maui. Exhibitor

Most people turn to the annual CinemaCon event in Las Vegas as the source for breaking news in the world of 2024 movies and beyond. However, that venue is also known to be a place to celebrate past wins and historical achievements, all in the name of the big screen. As we approach the 70th

If we are being completely honest, CinemaCon 2024 has been very light on teases. We have seen footage from upcoming movies that have shown a lot of what we expect to come. But only movies like the John Wick spinoff Ballerina and the planned musical biopic for Michael Jackson brought any never-before-seen footage that got

The trailer for Paramount‘s Smile 2 came as a surprise this morning during the studio’s session at CinemaCon. Though not introduced, when the images first hit the screen, it was easy to assume Paramount was distributing a Lady Gaga concert movie (it truly felt that way). But as it continued, it was clear Naomi Scott

Only a relative handful among the numerous film franchises in existence have truly managed to penetrate the cultural zeitgeist and gain massive followings. The universes crafted by Marvel, Star Wars, Jurassic Park and Fast & Furious come to mind. While some may not mention these in the same breath, Tyler Perry’s Madea films have also

CinemaCon attendees got an extended clip from Illumination’s Despicable Me 4 at Universal’s presentation Wednesday in Las Vegas. In it, Gru (Steve Carell) teams with the villainess Poppy (Joey King) to steal a honey badger from a castle/private school. Two Minions and Gru’s baby son Junior are in tow. Calamity ensues as the honey badger

I don’t know what I expected from CinemaCon 2024’s Wicked presentation, but Universal pulled out all the stops for a movie that fans were clearly already very excited about, judging by the response in the room. Blocking off nearly a fourth of their allotted time, the studio brought out Director Jon M. Chu, as well

The continuity of the Highlander franchise is… messy. The original film, released in 1986, is a self-contained action/adventure flick, but then the first sequel, 1991’s Highlander II: The Quickening, made some wild swings moving the story into the future (the year 2024, actually), and 1994’s Highlander: The Final Dimension followed by basically ignoring its predecessor

Yes, this just happened — to big cheers. Producer Graham King showed up to close Lionsgate CinemaCon session in a big way Wednesday showing off an emotional first trailer for the Michael Jackson biopic Michael, the movie that hits theaters on April 18, 2025.

Warner Bros on Tuesday released the first trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to the 2019 smash that returns Joaquin Phoenix to his Oscar-winning role and co-stars Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn.

Had everything gone as originally planned, audiences everywhere would be seeing director Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17 right now. When the film dropped its first teaser all the way back in December 2022, it was announced that it would be arriving in theaters on March 29, 2024 – and if you check your calendar, you’ll note

SPOILER WARNING: The following article gives away major details from the plot of Monkey Man, so proceed with caution as you read on.

Broadway’s busy spring was reaching peak bloom last week as the season’s final batch of new shows – save for the upcoming Sufjan Stevens musical Illinoise – was in previews, boosting total box office receipts to an impressive $39,445,823.

I have a confession: I fell out of love with Taylor Swift for a while.  I know, I know, it seemed that when everyone in the world was starting to fall even more in love with her, the music she made and her life didn’t hit as hard as my early-twenties self. While I heard

Australian filmmaker George Miller, whose origins story Furiosa will world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month before Warner Bros begins its global rollout May 22, says he’s still making Mad Max movies “because they’re very addictive.” Miller was speaking at CinemaCon on Monday in Las Vegas where he received the International Career Achievement in Filmmaking Award.

As the 2024 movie schedule moves forward, there’s still plenty of time to bust some ghosts in theaters. The recently released Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire continues the 40-year-old franchise originated by Ivan Reitman’s original classic. As a result, it also feels like the prime time to give some advice to the next generation of ghostbusters and

Moviegoers have gotten a taste Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett’s latest misadventures in the Bad Boys 4 trailer. As Martin Lawrence and Will Smith prepare for the fourth installment to hit theaters (as seen on the 2024 movie schedule), the co-stars looked back at past installments, which almost teamed Eddie Murphy with Lawrence. Of course,

The holds on Legendary/Warner Bros’ Dune Part Two have been great week-to-week since its March 1 opening, nothing steeper than -45% in a given week and as low as -36% in its third. That’s all due to Imax, and for fans who savor the Denis Villeneuve directed sequel, it’s getting an extended run in that

Next Christmas, the highly anticipated Avatar 3 will return audiences to the aquatic world of Pandora. While the next installment continuing the story of James Cameron’s contribution to the best 2000s movies has wrapped principal photography, there are still some finishing touches required. And that leads to a humorous story star Zoe Saldaña recalled about

Thank God — with hits like Dune: Part Two, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and Kung Fu Panda 4, the domestic box office may finally be shaking off the ashes from the double strikes, now counting close to $1.8 billion, with moviegoing gaining momentum. We told you quite early – at last year’s CinemaCon

Book fans love to assume that when franchises like the Harry Potter movies get underway, they’ll be able to eventually see the whole series adapted to film. But ask anyone who followed the Divergent series, The Golden Compass or Beautiful Creatures, and they’d tell you that this particular fate is never guaranteed. Hogwarts alum Tom

Sony Pictures Classics’ Wicked Little Letters grossed an estimated $1.5+ million in a big second week expansion for the R-rated British period comedy to 1,000 screens from five.

We have a question for the many people who are excited to see Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt’s new action movie, The Fall Guy: did you know that the film — coming to theaters on May 3 — is based on a TV show? For five seasons in the early 1980s, the original series from
