Disney is the big winner of summer 2019, and it isn’t even a close contest. The Mouse House helped kick-start the summer blockbuster season with the release of Avengers: Endgame back in April, and no other studio has been able to match them since then. Summer is when most of the major tentpoles are released,

5 minutes ago This past weekend, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark was quite the surprise hit at the box office. Even more surprising is how effective the film adapted the stories of Alvin Schwartz’s best-selling trilogy into a live-action thrill fest, right down to the creatures inspired by the Stephen Gammell artwork. Perhaps

Jordan Peele has continued to gather a powerful cast around his upcoming reboot of Candyman as shooting begins in Chicago.

The first full quarter of earnings since Disney completed its acquisition of 20th Century Fox are in and only one Fox film has turned a profit for the House of Mouse – and it’s a rather unlikely contender.  It’s been a worrying few months for the folks at Fox since its merger with Disney. Not

20 minutes ago Disney’s officially acquired 20th Century Fox and its assets in March, but the details and affects of this massive deal are still being revealed.

Avengers: Endgame makes its way to Blu-ray/DVD and 4K Ultra HD today, which is really the last step in the cycle for not just the biggest movie of the year, but now of all time. This is, at this point, a victory lap for Marvel Studios. Yet, even after all of those tickets sold and

A new theory suggests that Hagrid, one of the most beloved Harry Potter characters of all, could secretly have been one of Voldemort’s Death Eater. J.K. Rowling is undoubtedly one of the greatest literary talents of the present day, and key to her success is her love of meticulous planning. Over the years, she’s developed a

41 minutes ago A little over 30 years ago, Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall made comedy history with the box office smash Coming To America. Now, a legacy-quel is on the way with Coming 2 America, the story of Prince Akeem’s eventual ascension to the throne of Zamunda. Of course, as luck would have it,

The limited-edition set comes housed in an elegant hard slipcase, with a new 40-page book with stunning art and essays. Featured in a deluxe disc portfolio will be a Blu-ray&™ of the

Angry Birds Movie 2 has no delusions about it own slightness and makes up the difference with gleefully silly, yet unexpectedly clever cartoon mayhem. The Angry Birds Movie 2 is, frankly, more entertaining than it has any right or need to be. What could’ve easily been a slapdash attempt to continue cashing in on Rovio’s

1 hour ago Arriving 27 years after the animated original, the live action remake of Aladdin may not quite have been the critical hit as its predecessor, but it was definitely a commercial success, making over $1 billion worldwide.

Hobbs and Shaw is off to a slow start at the box office, but it still has a good chance of being a commercial hit. This decade, the Fast and Furious series reached new levels of critical and commercial prominence, undergoing a renaissance in the wake of Fast Five’s success. With the mainline series now popular enough

Shia LaBeouf is continuing his streak of independent dramas with After Exile. The young actor will join the great Robert De Niro on screen as his son. LaBeouf will play Mike Delaney who was sent to prison for killing an innocent man after a violent robbery. Once he is finally released, he gets pulled back

11 minutes ago Hugh Jackman is clearly as obsessed with Ryan Reynolds as Reynolds is with Wolverine. So it seemed fitting to follow last week’s suggestions on Ry-guy roles with a list of Jackman movies worth streaming. Jackman actually has a shorter filmography than Reynolds, but it’s packed with more worthy titles than one list

Will Batman be showing up in The Suicide Squad? It’s a reasonable question, given that the character was featured in the first movie. We haven’t seen the Dark Knight on the big screen since Justice League in 2017 back when Ben Affleck was still donning the cape and cowl. Affleck has since moved on, which

Djimon Hounsou is replacing Brian Tyree Henry in A Quiet Place 2. John Krasinski’s horror film, A Quiet Place, was one of the breakout hits of 2018, earning widespread critical praise and $340.9 million worldwide against a budget of only $17 million.

56 minutes ago Hollywood is coming off a five-movie week last time, and now the business is coming back with another five. Get ready for The Angry Birds Movie 2, Good Boys, Blinded By the Light, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, and Where’d You Go, Bernadette. Just remember, I’m not reviewing these movies, but rather predicting

At one point, The Rise of Skywalker was rumored to be so massive, it would need to be cut into two movies ala Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill. That proved to be fake news, and now we may have the actual runtime, or close to it. This final chapter in the Skywalker saga isn’t even as

Here’s how That ’70s Show wrapped up the show – and decade – in style. That ’70s Show first arrived in 1998 and quickly became an audience favorite. The series followed a group of friends in 1970s Wisconsin and their various comic misadventures. While the series didn’t exactly reinvent the sitcom formula it featured a

Jeffery Dean Morgan is not likely to appear in the final season of Supernatural. While details about the end of the long-running show are being kept under wraps, fans shouldn’t expect Morgan to make another big return. Morgan played John Winchester, Sam and Dean’s father, in the first two seasons of Supernatural. Arguably the driving force

15 minutes ago You would think that the two major death scenes would be the real tearjerkers of Avengers: Endgame, but MCU architect and producer Kevin Feige disagrees (totally wrong, but we’ll let him off the hook this time). Because he is the man behind this incredible shared universe, he’s going to feel different kinds

A bunch of superhero actors are returning for Arrowverse‘s 2019 crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths. Last year’s Elseworlds crossover had been the shared universe’s most ambitious crossover yet, but once it was over, The CW announced plans to adapt DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths story for the small screen.

Danny Trejo stars in the Bad Ass action franchise as a senior citizen who stands up for his community, and now the 75-year-old Hollywood legend is turning that idea into a reality as he recently saved a young child from an overturned car after a traffic accident. Now, security footage of the rescue has been

31 seconds ago Even The Happiest Place On Earth has to answer to supply and demand. Disneyland hasn’t had the expected crowd levels for 2019’s opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. That sounds great if you’re a visitor and stand in shorter lines than you feared. But it’s reportedly leaving Disneyland employees with fewer working

A production still from season 2 of Titans shows series fulcrum Raven with her iconic look of a red gem fastened to her forehead. The first season of the comic book show was a severely hit-and-miss affair, with a number of reshoots drastically altering the framework of the series to focus on the sullen, brooding

The Angry Birds Movie 2 is the latest sequel coming our way in a summer full of franchise fare.

Could this be a late summer surprise?

40 minutes ago Marvel Studios just reached a couple of major milestones: successful culminating its 23-film “Infinity Saga” with Avengers: Endgame, and producing a film that has become the highest-grossing film of all time!
