Prior to today if anyone said that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever would wind up in the Billion Dollar Club I’d wonder what they were talking about, since Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will likely finish it’s theatrical run somewhere in the $840 million ballpark before it goes to Disney+ February 1, which is a respectable return.

James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water recently reached $1.17 billion at the worldwide box office, which is not a bad thing for Searchlight Pictures, the studio that released the film. Though that’s not the most interesting part of the article from The Hollywood Reporter. What is is that when James Cameron said that his […]
As I’ve aged (gracefully, I like to think) I’ve noticed that I don’t tend to watch much animation; I don’t dislike it, and in fact respect it as an art from in and of itself, though it just doesn’t engage me. Part of the problem is that I grew up on hand-drawn animation. And sure, […]
I’m trying something new with my Youtube channel, Trailer Into REaction w/News because there’re sometimes things I want to comment in the entertainment news arena on don’t necessarily want to spend an inordinate amount of time on a particular topic. And besides, I don’t have a dedicated “News” feature on my channel and I’m not […]
The Hollywood Reporter released a video that showed Robert Pattinson in what I think it’s safe to assume is the Batman costume from Matt Reeves’ upcoming movie. I took a screenshot from the video and lightened it and…what I could make out doesn’t look great. It feels very ‘Daredevil,’ not the Netflix series but the […]
Late in 2019 Universal Pictures pulled the Damon Lindelof and Nick Cuse-written thriller The Hunt due to complaints about the subject matter (rich Liberals hunting down and killing select conservatives) combined with a mass shooting that happened in El Paso, Texas in August of that year. Apparently they feel that there’s been enough time between […]
This is amazing news! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sam Raimi is in talks to take over Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness from Scott Derrickson, who stepped down earlier this year due to ‘creative differences.’ Now, I don’t think that Derrickson got to show what he could bring to the franchise with the […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony’s movie division posted a $107 million profit, which is particularly impressive considering only two years earlier they posted a $719 million LOSS. Now, if you’re Sony you’re probably feeling pretty good about things though if you’re a person who happens to be watching a Sony movie…let’s just say your […]
Words matter, so if you read ‘China Box Office: ‘Solo’ Bombs With Third-Place $10.1M Opening’ from The Hollywood Reporter you’re likely to assume that the movie failed there. And in a sense it did, though Star Wars movies since being purchased by Disney have underperformed in the Middle Kingdom before–Rogue One: A Star Wars Story […]
I just read in The Hollywood Reporter that Apple is reportedly vying for the rights to distribute James Bond (along with Amazon, Sony and Warner Bros) movies, which I am trying to get my head around. Now keep in mind such a move would likely give Apple exclusive access to Bond’s entire back catalog (as […]
