Nobody was a fun little pandemic hit that did much better both in theaters and on-demand than anyone was really expecting. There was a lot of potential for a franchise, so when Universal confirmed that Nobody 2 was on the way, no one was really that surprised. This time, Hutch is trying to take his family […]
It seems that Dreamworks thinks they might have a big hit on their hands. Or that feels like the case, considering the release date shift for Shrek 5. Dreamworks films have done well in December, and one of the Puss in Boots films did very well at the tail end of the/early start to a […]
Horror fans are eating well in the summer this year. Back in June, 28 Years Later took everyone by surprise and proved that Danny Boyle and Alex Garland can absolutely create some magic together. This month, we have Weapons, which is pulling in solid reviews and appearing to be tracking for a pretty strong opening weekend. […]
Studios spend millions of dollars every year trying to figure out the best way to market their movies and shows to the public. As we've entered the digital age, we've seen marketing evolve beyond just trailers, posters, and commercials. Found footage films give filmmakers the opportunity to act like the movie we're watching is based […]
If the early ticket sales are anything to go by, The Odyssey will be massive by the time it makes its way to the big screen next summer. Universal isn't stupid, and they want Oppenheimer lightning to strike again, but there are some massive differences between the two films. Besides, at the time of writing, there was […]
HIM is a new horror film about which little was known before CinemaCon. The film stars Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, Guapdad 4000, and Tierra Whack. Justin Tipping directed it from a script by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie. Jordan Peele, Ian Cooper, Win Rosenfeld, and Jamal M. Watson produced it. Most people will be interested because Peele is involved, but the concept […]
It appears that the Wicked: For Good press and marketing run is officially kicking off. The trailer premiered two months ago, but there hasn't been much since. The first film spent months releasing tons of behind-the-scenes information and looks for fans to see. It appears they might be doing the same thing for this film as […]
August is looking like one hell of a month at the movies, and we're only five days in. The best part is the sheer variety of genres that are not only getting released, but they are also getting mediocre to excellent reviews. Usually, you get one or the other, but not both, and there's more […]
It seems that everything has fallen into line for Violent Night 2. The sequel, which was greenlit not long after the 2022 release of the first film, feels like it's been hanging out in limbo for a while, but that might be the pandemic years talking. Either way, we finally have a release date of December […]
The re-release market continues to be a thriving business model even if some of them turn out cursed. I see what you did to the Wizard of Oz in Vegas, and it's the ugliest thing that has been done to classic cinema in a very long time. The theatrical releases of classics seem to be […]
The Bad Guys 2 isn't as good as the first film, but it's still a pretty good time at the movies. It's an animated family film that makes an effort to truly appeal to multiple demographics. Directors: Pierre Perifel and JP Sans Summary: The Bad Guys are struggling to find trust and acceptance in their […]
General Mills has teamed with Universal Pictures to make several new items coming out from Pillsbury this Fall tied to the release of the second Wicked movie, Wicked: For Good. As you may recall, they did this last year with a few different items. This year, they've brought a couple back, like the mystery cupcakes, […]
Jurassic World Rebirth has brought the massive, dinosaur-filled spectacle back to theaters, delivering a fairly potent mix of nostalgia and suspense that's (mostly) resonating worldwide. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One), the film dials back CGI excess for a lean, survival‑horror vibe and has already grossed $529.5 million globally on a $180 million budget, making it the […]
The dinosaurs are back—and naturally, so are audiences. Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest chapter in the long-running franchise helmed by Gareth Edwards, is off to a strong start at the box office and is already sparking conversation for the way it blends thrills with a heavy dose of nostalgia. And while it somewhat aims to […]
M3GAN may have danced her way into horror icon status with her 2023 debut, but unfortunately, the sequel hasn't quite replicated that same magic—at least not at the box office. As a matter of fact, M3GAN 2.0, the highly anticipated follow-up from Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, opened to softer-than-expected numbers, despite early buzz and a […]
For decades, Jurassic Park (and the newer entries under the Jurassic World umbrella) has followed a familiar formula: when things go south, the T-Rex shows up to inadvertently save the day. It's big, it's iconic, and it's made more than one perfectly timed entrance that left audiences cheering. But in Jurassic World: Rebirth, the creative […]
The latest Jurassic World movie finally hit theaters this past weekend, stomping in with a strong box office debut and plenty of buzz. As expected, it generally delivers all the dinosaur-fueled chaos fans have come to love—T-Rex showdowns, high-speed chases, and a healthy dose of jungle mayhem. But what's keeping people talking isn't just the […]
After terrifying audiences with its eerie blend of supernatural suspense and grounded horror, The Black Phone is officially getting ready to return—with a sequel that, according to author Joe Hill, has been hiding in plain sight since the beginning. The first film, adapted from Hill's short story and directed by Scott Derrickson, became a surprise […]
It's been a weird year for animation, and DreamWorks is looking to end the summer on a high note with The Bad Guys 2. A sequel to one of Dreamworks most underrated films is looking like it's going to explore the idea life as a convicted felon and how the system is set up to […]
We just posted the other day about how the massive cast of The Odyssey meant that the production was keeping a lot of high-profile plates spinning. It was going to be a challenge just to make time for everyone to get on set to do their scenes, even if they only needed to be on set […]
