Put your hands in the air and wave ‘em like you just don’t care — except we do care a great deal about this news. You’ll never have to drink alone again because Ma has officially been given the greenlight for a sequel. It’s been a weirdly long uphill battle (considering the original movie’s budget compared to its earnings), but the time has finally come, … Continue reading ‘Ma 2’ Is Officially In The Works!!
Ma is so good, you guys. You gotta watch it. It’s an absurd, tone-shifting, and genuinely frightening horror film starring Octavia Spencer as an adult woman so warped by trauma and loneliness that she starts befriending and hosting local high schoolers in a sociological attempt at revenge. It’s out of this world, it inspired a ton of wonderful memes, and I fully believe Spencer deserved an … Continue reading ‘Ma 2’: Director Tate Taylor Reveals Sequel Idea!!
Synopsis – A lonely woman befriends a group of teenagers and decides to let them party at her house. Just when the kids think their luck couldn’t get any better, things start happening that make them question the intention of their host. My Take – While most small time studios have been scrambling with genres to find the right success ratio, producer Jason Blum and … Continue reading Ma (2019) Review!!!
Disney and Pixar‘s Toy Story 4 topped the weekend box office and did so with the franchise’s largest opening weekend yet, but even it seems to have been bitten by the summer’s sequel slump as it too delivered well below studio and industry expectations. On top of that, UA Releasing‘s Child’s Play finished in second place while also missing forecasted pre-weekend expectations while Lionsgate and … Continue reading ‘Toy Story 4’ Opens With Franchise Best $118 Million as ‘Child’s Play’ Trails Behind at the BO!!!
It was another disappointing weekend for a pair of new sequels as both Sony‘s Men in Black International and WB‘s Shaft were both unable to reach even the slimmest of studio expectations heading into the weekend. The weekend is down significantly compared to last year when Incredibles 2 bowed with a record-shattering $182.6 million opening and next weekend will turn to Pixar once again, looking … Continue reading ‘Men in Black’ and ‘Shaft’ Sequels Disappoint at the BO!!
The weekend’s top twelve combined to outperform the same weekend last year by more than 43%, which means the year-to-year gap continues to close, but the weekend’s new releases both struggled mightily. Universal and Illumination‘s The Secret Life of Pets 2 was unable to even deliver half of the opening the first film delivered just a few years ago, while Fox‘s Dark Phoenix entered the … Continue reading ‘Pets 2’ and ‘Dark Phoenix’ Underperform at the BO!!!
WB‘s Godzilla: King of the Monsters is the king of the weekend box office, though doing so at the lower end of studio expectations. Meanwhile, both Paramount‘s Rocketman and Universal and Blumhouse‘s Ma topped studio expectations, the latter of which doing so on a small, $5 million budget. Overall, the weekend saw the top twelve deliver nearly $170 million, helping push the summer box office … Continue reading ‘Godzilla’ Sequel is a King as ‘Rocketman’ and ‘Ma’ Top Expectations at the BO!!!
Disney‘s Aladdin topped the weekend with an impressive debut, delivering over $85 million for the three-day and is expected to top $100 million for the four-day, Memorial Day holiday weekend. Meanwhile, fellow newcomers Brightburn and Booksmart finished more in line with studio expectations than Mojo‘s aggressive pre-weekend forecast and Avengers: Endgame will become only the second film ever to top $800 million at the domestic … Continue reading ‘Aladdin’ Flies to $86 Million, While ‘Brightburn’ and ‘Booksmart’ Struggle at the BO!!!
I read Ezra Marcus and James D. Walsh‘s disturbing New York Magazine article The Stolen Kids of Sarah Lawrence earlier this week and promptly tweeted, “this smells like a Sundance movie.” Sure enough, Hollywood also took notice, as Mark Wahlberg and Jason Blum have teamed up to produce an adaptation of the story — which is pretty crazy. The story is about a man named Larry … Continue reading ‘The Stolen Kids of Sarah Lawrence’: Mark Wahlberg and Jason Blum to Produce!!!
