With the 2020 summer Olympics around the corner, the timing of the release of the IFC Films romantic comedy Olympic Dreams couldn’t be any more perfect — but this isn’t an ordinary rom-com or a film about the Olympics. Directed by Jeremy Teicher (Tracktown, Tall as the Baobab Tree, Speed Goggles), who co-wrote it with his wife

Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog got off to a solid start Thursday night, scoring $3 million from shows that began at 5 PM at 3,150 locations. That number is the same as what DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World made last February — a $3M Thursday off 6 PM showtimes — before soaring to a
OneUnited Bank Harriet Tubman‘s image on a debit card would stir plenty of debate — but Harriet Tubman doing the “Wakanda Forever” pose on that card is really pissing off a lot of people.

While a post-Oscars box office boost was already expected for Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite tonight even with Best International Film and Best Director wins, now with a Best Picture win, the pic has a shot to go into the $40M-plus zone, possibly even more. The NEON release, after winning the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film

The first Disney release of 2020, Pixar’s Onward, arrived on tracking today with a $44 million projection. Some believe that the forecast for the March 6 release is low and could go higher. The movie directed by Dan Scanlon and featuring the voices of Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Octavia Spencer and Julia Louis-Dreyfus is set in a suburban
Heading into the final stretch of its limited Broadway run, David Byrne’s American Utopia set a box office house record at the Hudson Theatre, grossing $1,416,344 for the week ending February 9. The figure – for only seven performances – beat out the previous high-water mark set by an eight-performance week of Sunday in the
So, what happens now? With the 3 1/2 weeks early, lowest-rated Oscar show in the bag, the movies and those who love them are caught in an unaccustomed February vacuum. Normally, there would be cocktails, canapés and the whispers of publicists looking for last-minute advantage over competitors. But Sunday’s Academy Awards implosion — what else
Backgrid Sylvester Stallone‘s playing another action hero in a new movie — go figure, right? — but this time there’s a twist … and it’s got our boy looking like a completely different person.

Following a barrage of criticism eight months ago from right-wing commentators and President Donald Trump, who called the movie one that will “inflame and cause chaos,” Universal-Blumhouse’s The Hunt is muscling its way back on to the release calendar with a March 13 date. It’s being billed in a new ad campaign as “The Most
EXCLUSIVE: Sam Mendes’ WWI epic 1917 has become eOne’s highest grossing release ever in the UK, overtaking The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, with a local grab of £36.2M ($46.9M) through Monday.

Who says theatrical is dead? Despite Bong Joon Ho’s historic Best Picture Oscar winner Parasite already being available on DVD and SVOD, there’s a huge appetite among moviegoers following Sunday’s awards ceremony to watch it on the big screen this weekend. As of EOD Monday, advance ticket sales for Parasite had jumped 443% week over week
There’s never one reason why a movie fails at the box office, but several, and titling the Harley Quinn Warner Bros. Suicide Squad spinoff Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn wasn’t really the wisest movie marketing decision of late. Birds of Prey opened to $33M at the domestic box office
The National Association of Theatre Owners will give its 2020 NATO Marquee Award to AMC Entertainment CEO, President and Director Adam M. Aron.

Rian Johnson’s Lionsgate/MRC whodunit Knives Out has sailed past the $300M mark worldwide. It’s the latest milestone for the box office anomaly that is becoming the second-highest-grossing original movie of 2019 behind Us and also whipping Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’s $142.4M stateside. More amazing: This Thanksgiving release is still in the domestic
As you can see from the $159.1 million/$140.9 domestic/international split, Knives Out’s box office has broken down far more evenly than you’d see in something like a blockbuster. Internationally, Knives Out has performed especially well in China, where it made $28.4 million as well as the United Kingdom, Germany and Australia, with $16.8 million, $9.7
Regardless, Knives Out has exceeded expectations, ranking at a critically acclaimed 97% among critics on Rotten Tomatoes and crossing the $300 million mark worldwide as of today. Thanks to it, Bombshell and Midway, Lionsgate says its revenue rose 30% in its fiscal third quarter, so it’s no wonder the studio wants Rian Johnson to helm
When the song was cut from the movie, it was upsetting to those involved in the production, but it did save them quite a bit of extra work. In the interview, Chris Buck also mentions another song called “Get This Right,” which he wishes could have made its way into Frozen II. The song is
However, while James Marsden has found himself inside a video game movie, one thing he won’t be doing is finding himself watching a movie based on his favorite video game, because, as CinemaBlend’s own Jeff McComb learned when he had the opportunity to speak with Marsden, his favorite game was a movie first, Goldeneye.

Oscar Isaac seems to have put Poe Dameron behind him, but he definitely has a bright future ahead. He has Dune coming in 2020, along with Big Gold Brick, and The Card Counter. Hopefully we see him back at the Oscars soon, and not just to make jokes about his name or Star Wars.
Also, anyone concerned about this possibly meaning that Thor: Love And Thunder won’t be as auteur-ish as Thor: Ragnarok need not be afraid. After all, Waititi wasn’t actually credited as a writer on the third Thor movie (those credits belonging to Eric Pearson, Craig Kyle, and Christopher L. Yost), but the director was still able
About halfway through Parasite, the Kim family successfully manages to manipulate the Parks and get hired as members of the staff. A massive rain storm creates a moment of chaos when the Parks return home, and the Kims eventually find their semi-basement apartment basically underwater. It’s a fascinating juxtaposition in status, and highlights how desperate
The secrets and twists of the film are definitely worth keeping quiet around those who have not yet seen it, but even the first act setup of the narrative is brilliant in its premise and execution. Written by Bong Joon-ho and Jin Won Han, the movie centers on the lower class Kim family, who struggle

See, this is everything that’s great about Adam Sandler. It starts out with goofy voices for no apparent reason whatsoever. At first you kinda hate it, but after awhile, it just sort of grows on you, you go with it and eventually you like it. And then at the end there’s enough heart and real
According to USA Today, they will receive a 24K gold bath bomb, a five-night stay in Waikiki, a 12-day cruise for two on a luxury yacht, and even a urine collection and analysis system. What… why?
