Chu-directed romantic comedy is once again coming in ahead of expectations, scoring $5.8 million on Friday with the Labor Day weekend box office record in its sights. That four-day holiday record is currently held byRob Zombie’sHalloween, which pulled in $30.6 million in 2007, butCrazy Rich Asiansis projected to make $30 million or more for the same frame....

In today’s film industry, there is a vast difference between the films that tend to find themselves in award-season conversations, and those that dominate the box office. While occasionally an event like the release ofBarbieandOppenheimerwill occur, there’s generally a fairly distinct difference between the audience for award-season fare likeNomadlandandParasite, and the broad appeal of blockbusters likeSpider-Man: No Way HomeandJurassic World Dominion.This simply wasn’t the case in the 1970s,the era dubbed “New Hollywood....

George R.R. Martin, the author of theA Song of Ice and Firefantasy book series, regrets that HBO’sGame of Throneswent past the books and led his characters down controversial paths. Welcome to the club, George, it’s been two years since that cursed finale, and we are all still very sorry things ended as they did. Talking toChicago’s PBS station, Martin said that HBO’s deal brought a lot more positive things than negative ones to his life....

Star Trek: Starfleet Academyis set to begin its freshman term early next year, and has already been renewed for a sophomore season. But how long will it take before the series graduates? Collider’sSteve Weintraubspoke with the show’s cast and crew about the show’s long-term academic prospects at San Diego Comic Con this weekend. Paramount’sStar Trekhead honcho,Alex Kurtzman, outlined the length of aStarfleet Academyundergraduate degree: “…the beauty is you have to have a four-year plan because college is four years long....

Because yes,Lisa Vanderpump has a new show set in one of the most idyllic places in France,Mazerolles-du-Razès.

Of the three Spider-Men put to screen in live action,Andrew Garfield’s adaptation seems to receive the least amount of praise from the wider Marvel fanbase. As neitherSam Raimi’s original nor the iteration incorporated directly into the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe,Marc Webb’sThe Amazing Spider-ManandThe Amazing Spider-Man 2and consequently, Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker are sometimes unfairly considered the awkward middle child of the three, not receiving as much acclaim. ThoughThe Amazing Spider-Manexcels in its actors' performances and emotionally gripping writing, one of its true strengths lies in its thematic cohesion....

Just whenDaniel Day-Lewisthought he was out, they pulled him back in, as best said by Michael Corleone inThe Godfather: Part III. While the recent announcement of the3-time Oscar winner’s sudden returnto acting was shocking, anyone paying attention to his career shouldn’t be too surprised. After all, this is not Day-Lewis' first or second time returning to his craft upon supposedly retiring. The third time around, withDay-Lewisset to make his triumphant return inAnemone, the directorial debut of his son,Ronan Day-Lewis, the act has grown stale....

Blondeis a controversial film, to say the least. Ever since it was announced, it’s attracted skepticism and criticism for a variety of factors, from its casting, to its nearly three-hour length, to its controversial content, to the fact it’s a film directed and written by a man, to its uncompromising nature, to whether it should have even made in the first place, and for its NC-17 rating (the first film released to streamingon Netflix to be given such a rating)....

Adult animation is having a bit of a moment right now, so it only makes sense thatJake Johnsonhas made the jump to starring in his own series. TheNew Girlalum and now-iconic Peter Parker fromSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseleads the new Netflix animated seriesHoops, which is absolutely 100%notfor children. Created byBen Hoffman, the show revolves around a foul-mouthed high school basketball coach named Ben (played by Johnson) living in Kentucky who is beset by disappointment and failure at every turn, and yet is continually strong-willed and optimistic....

Fall is officially in swing, which means an annual rewatch of Halloween-themed horror movies is in order. One that is no doubt on your watch list is theJohn CarpenterclassicHalloween, but you mightalsohaveRob Zombie’s 2007 remake in your rotation as well. Zombie’s striking, violent film was, unexpectedly, met with a strong reaction. It’s entirely in keeping with Zombie’s style, but it also—as remakes post-2005 are required to do—“expands the mythology” to try and explain the mystery surrounding Michael Myers....

Back in May,we learnedthat the villain ofJustice Leaguewould be Steppenwolf, who was glimpsed in a deleted scene fromBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The character, who is the uncle of Darkseid (the DC Universe’s equivalent of Thanos) in the comics, decided to invade in Earth in the New 52 series. He’s an extraterrestrial threat who would certainly warrant the formation of a team of superheroes. However, we’ve been in the dark on who’s playing the role....

Keanu Reevesis one of the most magnetic movie stars we have today. Even after his explosion into iconography withThe Matrix, the cavernous lows ofThe Day the Earth Stood StillandRonin 47, and the constant criticism of his talent as an actor, his star power has only grown in recent years. He’s withstood so many slings and arrows that he deserves the chance to pick his own projects, like joining the satirical world ofRuben Östlundor becomingeveryone’s favorite edgy hedgehog....
