Sorry, Brunos, but the phrase is a really powerful one that definitely stuck with me long after watching it. As the director said, they really wanted to come up with a line that would encapsulate the character of Alberto along with his message and influence on Luca. So when writer Jesse Andrews cooked up the

With the fall and early winter corridor being fiercely competitive, Warner Bros. is changing a trio of release dates in order to best position their movies. All of them will still go day-and-date on HBO Max (for first 31 days) with theatrical. With MGM/United Artists Releasing’s 007 movie No Time to Die on Oct. 8, Warners

The horror movies of 2020 are back, ladies and gentleman. Thanks to the pandemic, a whole slew of titles from the genre found themselves delayed, and now that the theatrical experience is back we are getting to see and preview a whole lot of scary movies. In addition to the releases of both A Quiet

As she shared, Nicki Minaj didn’t believe the Black Panther star intentionally hurt Caribbean people with the rum line, but she felt it was important to share the importance and why people were getting upset. Back in the 1800s, the celebration had roots in landowners gathering and imitating their slaves working in the sugarcanes. Once
After 17 months of one-and-off promotion, including two Super Bowl spots, Universal’s F9 finally arrives at U.S. and Canadian theaters with high hopes of turbo-charging what has been a rudderless summer box office post Memorial Day weekend as the pandemic calms. F9 will be the widest theatrical release during the pandemic at 4K theaters, which still
Canadian triplets Gerry, Leo and Myles Fitzgerald were only 5 years old when they were cast as the scientifically created super baby Sly — and then Sly’s long-lost twin brother Whit who was raised in the real world — in the 1999 kid comedy “Baby Geniuses.” Gerry, Leo and Myles stuck around Hollywood for a
In reference to why Bam Margera was even kicked off of Jackass 4 in the first place, all signs point towards a relapse that violated his contract for the upcoming Paramount sequel. Because a condition of his participation was to maintain sobriety, Margera’s failure to do so caused him to be removed from the movie
Kate Horton, who previously ran the Royal Court Theatre in London and has held executive roles also at the Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre, will take over for Scott Rudin as executive producer of The Music Man, the upcoming Broadway revival starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster.

Paul Walker‘s supped-up Toyota Supra that he drove in “The Fast and the Furious” has gone to one super-charged fan … who snagged the fast whip at an auction for $550k. The 1994 car was auctioned off in Las Vegas this weekend … and the winning bid came from a phone bidder for Brian O’Conner’s
Prior to the documentary’s arrival in theaters this past weekend, I had the chance to talk with the Wright about the post-production process, and I specifically asked about the hardest cuts he had to make. The tough decisions apparently weren’t bits from interviews or special stories, but instead footage dedicated to songs that he would
Specialty box office is ready for liftoff. With Los Angeles and New York completely peeling back restrictions on theater capacity for the first weekend, we are starting to see rays of hope illuminate the limited release space. Meet The Blacks 2 blasted expectations last week by posting a $1M+ debut (per screen average of $2,533).
Play video content Arnold Schwarzenegger says his family HATED that he pivoted from movies to politics and gave an insight on his view of raising kids, and the word “military” comes to mind! Arnold appeared on his daughter Katherine‘s IG show, “BDA Baby” — which stands for Before, During and After Baby. Waiting for your
Given the actor’s filmography, Russell Crowe looks like an intimidating dude. He’s played Les Miserables’ Javert, Man of Steel’s Jor-El, Noah of the Bible and even Robin Hood. So you’d think a serious actor would take a serious approach to other things in his career. But I’ve been wonderfully proved wrong. Crowe is clearly a
Let’s celebrate victories where we can as the domestic box office looks to get on track from the pandemic. It took 12 weekends, but finally Warner Bros./Legendary’s Godzilla vs. Kong crossed $100M at the domestic B.O., becoming the second movie to do so after Paramount’s A Quiet Place Part II which did it in three weekends. GvK made
A now-viral video has been making the rounds of what many say is a real-life sighting of an actual werewolf in Africa, which was apparently shot dead … but the whole thing is BS. The clip that’s got people buzzing surfaced seemingly out of nowhere this week, and it shows what appears to be the
Luca is inspired by Enrico Casarosa’s own childhood living in the Italian Riviera and his experiences with his best friend (aside from the whole sea monster bit). Casarosa was much like Luca, more afraid and reserved, whilst his friend was daring and bold like Alberto. As the director shared with us, the ending of Luca
It’s thrilling to watch Lionsgate make a run at the box office top spot with The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, a grown-up comedy. Not a kiddie fantasy, like Peter Rabbit 2 or Cruella. Not a Covid-era placeholder, like The War With Grandpa, or a streaming event, like Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. But a rough, raucous, R-rated action
Even in swim trunks, Harry Styles looks fly … it’s written all over him. The former “One Direction” singer couldn’t look more relaxed Friday while enjoying a shower right next to the beach in the Tuscany town of Porto Ercole. That name, btw, means Port Hercules — appropriate for Harry’s physique. He was flaunting his
Adam Pally Green Hills, Montana may be a small town, but it takes more than one law enforcement officer to look after its citizens. As such, Tom Wachowski is aided by his chief deputy, Wade Whipple, played by Happy Endings and Crossing Swords actor Adam Pally. Wade was present in Sonic the Hedgehog’s final battle
Amazon will drop the Millennium Media Kate Beckinsale action movie Jolt on June 23.

Play video content Heeeeeeeeeeeere’s Karen!!! Actually, it’s Taryn Manning as the much-hyped, titular “Karen” in the upcoming thriller from Coke Daniels … a role meant to represent a blend of all the notorious “Karens” who’ve gone viral for the worst reasons over the past couple years. The “Orange is the New Black” star plays a
Throughout all of the Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway interviews I conducted, there was a huge connective thread that everyone had in common. That singularity came from the cast’s love for co-writer/director Will Gluck’s collaborative energy. Though Elizabeth Debicki was given notes to tone down the bossy nature of Mopsy Rabbit, it was all part
Lionsgate got out early with the Millennium Ryan Reynolds-Samuel L. Jackson action comedy sequel The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard with an official Wednesday debut plus last weekend paid sneaks; all totaled they’ve accumulated $3.9M at 2,940 locations. The whole reason why Lionsgate went early is to collect as much cash as possible before Universal’s F9 comes in next weekend,
