It got even better recently when Focus Features dated Robert Eggers's new film adaptation of Nosferatu for Christmas of next year, officially making it a holiday film We've only seen a couple of images from the film and heard a few plot details from some cast members, but one of them is currently promoting one of[...]

After a bumpy ride this year, The Bikeriders is finally settling into its new home at Focus Features The film made its debut this summer at the Telluride Film Festival with pretty good reviews overall However, due to the ongoing strikes, the film was pulled from its early December release date That made some sense;[...]

While most studios are focused on films coming out in the first six months, Focus Features was like, "Hey, we're dropping a Robert Eggers adaptation of Nosferatu on Christmas next year; let's talk about it." We are very much here to talk about this because this film has been in the works for many years now,[...]

So consider us here at Bleeding Cool thrilled that Focus Features has decided that its latest collaboration with filmmaker Robert Eggers is perfect for the holidays It has set his Nosferatu remake for a December 25, 2024 release date.

All Rights Reserved. Focus Features has swept in and picked up The Bikeriders for domestic distribution, with Universal handling the international distribution This film seems right up the alley of Focus, who likes to straddle the line between being mainstream while also picking up more indie or arthouse films that could have mainstream appeal[...]

We got the first images and poster yesterday, but Focus Features dropped the first teaser trailer for the film, directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Cody The teaser gives us a better idea of what this film is about and looks pretty cute. Cody hasn't done anything in the horror genre since Jennifer's Body flopped at[...]

If nothing else, we need to marvel at how big and beautiful Kathryn Newton's curls are in these images, and that look in the first image is everything. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ Kathryn Newton stars as Lisa Swallows in LISA[...]

Focus Features usually picks interesting movies to distribute, and they are the happy medium between the weirder side of mainstream independent studios like A24 or NEON and the big studios that we all know So they take a few more risks, but they aren't going to release something completely off the walls While they still[...]

Focus Features always has some interesting movies that span across genres, and The Holdovers looks like it's going to be a sort of Christmas movie/coming-of-age film that will probably make you ugly cry by the end This type of film is usually a massive hit or miss because it relies on hitting you emotionally; that[...]

Wes Anderson's new quirky drama-comedy film Asteroid City (from Focus Features and Universal Pictures) has achieved widely positive reviews from audiences and critics so far, despite experiencing a struggle to generate a massive box-office turnout needed to help recoup its budget of $25 million. Still, the outlandishly colorful film tells a very specific tonal tale that's[...]

It's a strange time for a Wes Anderson movie to come out since his films usually get an awards push, so maybe this one is a dud, and Focus Features is trying to bury it If there were ever a month that something could get buried, it would be June or July 2023 The film[...]

Focus Features is ensuring it hits all demographics when it comes to its theatrical releases in 2023 One group that can really turn out at the box office are boomers and older gen-x, and you don't need to look at further than how well the two My Big Fat Greek Wedding movies did Or at[...]

We are getting another Wes Anderson movie this year from Focus Features, and it's looking very Wes Anderson-y for good and for ill For all that people might say about Anderson, there is plenty to say, and even I can admit that as a fan, he does have a very distinctive style, and Asteroid City doesn't[...]

This afternoon, we have the double trouble of Universal Pictures and Focus Features coming in to play. CinemaCon 2023 Universal will likely spend a large portion of this panel giving themselves a pat on the back for having a fantastic year At the same time, there have been some misfires like Renfield, the success of films like M3GAN[...]

And we're back for part two of this Universal and Focus Features massive recap Unlike last year when Focus really made a splash, this year it felt a little more muted They announced some projects without any footage and showed off some not-trailers that won't be released in these exact forms We got a look[...]

Studios like A24, NEON usually pick up these types of films, and Focus Features in the case of You Won't Be Alone It's also rather hit or miss if they will get any sort of audience or become a hit They either make absolutely no impact, or they become cult classics The early reviews for[...]
