Robert Zemeckis has always been about a great technological or storytelling conceit in his movies whether it’s the live-action animated hybrid of the 3x Oscar winning Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, the insertion of Tom Hanks in famed historical footage in Oscar Best Picture Forrest Gump or the motion capture of The Polar Express. However, his

While we have to wait for upcoming Spider-Man movies to see Tom Holland and Zendaya back together on the big screen, we see them together often in real life because they’re dating. And over the years, they have proved to have each other’s back in a big way. In fact, in recent weeks Holland went

Imax shares nosed higher in after-market trading, up over 3% on solid numbers, new installations, and a roaring good outlook by CEO Rich Gelfond.

It’s suddenly been, if not an embarrassment, then for sure a nice flush of riches in the indie film space as high-profile festival and well-reviewed fare continues releasing into awards season.

It couldn’t have pleased me more to see Alien: Romulus absolutely crush in its box office run on the 2024 movie schedule. Director Fede Álvarez’s midquel was a dark spectacle that proved the saga still has a loyal fanbase, whether or not Ellen Ripley is present. That development has apparently inspired some movement in further

Godzilla has been around for 70 years but the character may have never been as popular as he is today. The massive lizard has seen a significant resurgence in popularity thanks to successful movies on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.

People weren’t just trick-or-treating, parading or creating an insane traffic jam grid block between Santa Monica Boulevard and Hollywood on Halloween — they actually went to the movies on Halloween: The top 10 titles saw an average 46% spike in business over Wednesday.

There are a surprising amount of films based on comic books and graphic novels that are directed by women. Traditionally women have been underrepresented in directing, and while there are still way more movies directed by men, we see more and more directed by female filmmakers.

Clint Eastwood’s legal thriller Juror No. 2 has been wowing critics with its thought-provoking journey of a family man on jury duty faced with the moral dilemma of saving a defendant on trial for a murder the juror committed.

Everyone will begin returning to the movies just before Thanksgiving on November 22 as Universal’s Wicked and Paramount’s Gladiator II just hit tracking with respective openings of $80M+ and $65M.

Like all of its predecessors in the Alien franchise, Alien: Romulus is full of squishy, splatty, and generally horrid bits of sound.

Rumors swirled around Ariana Grande during the summer of 2023, as news broke that she and husband Dalton Gomez were divorcing after three years of marriage.

While it’s been an exciting year of 2024 movies, we have also lost titans of stage, screen, and television.
