Seth Rogen is one of the most successful people in Hollywood when it comes to comedy. Through movies like Superbad, This is the End and Pineapple Express, he has helped shape the face of studio comedies for more than a decade. But Rogen says that his movies, and all comedies, are now competing directly with

And it’s another Lionsgate film that’s skipping theatrical. We can confirm that the Sarah Paulson horror movie Run is moving off the theatrical release schedule and heading to Hulu.

If movie theaters are planning to reopen in select locations around the country in the next month, will there be any new movies out there left to program? In another case of another movie biting the dust, Lionsgate has decided that the best course of distribution financially for their movie Antebellum is to have the movie

Walt Disney World is scaling back its hours after experiencing lower-than-expected attendance and multiple cancellations. The world-famous theme park re-opened its doors back in July after being shut down since the middle of March. Disney fanatics were excited to finally get back into the park, while others were a bit more on the cautious side

Fresh product continued to rule in a distressed exhibition marketplace as RLJE Films’ Tax Collector grossed an estimated $317K at 129 theaters. Tax Collector is the third new title after Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls World Tour and IFC’s The Rental to top the box office since the pandemic began in mid-March. We’ll know for certain which film is No. 1 tomorrow, but it’s

It’s up to Disney if we’ll ever see a revival of X-Men: The Animated Series, as producer Larry Houston has confirmed that preliminary discussions about a reboot have taken place.

China’s third Friday back to the movies scored a slight increase on last week’s comparable day at $4.38M. It’s short of the $7.6M generated last Sunday which was boosted by Warner Bros’ reissue of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, but still a jump on last Friday, while midweeks were solid. Play today was led by DreamWorks/Amblin/Universal’s 1917

Every now and then a thoroughly unique and magnificently odd piece of filmmaking comes along that’s not quite classifiable, yet so refreshingly weird it can’t help but find its audience. Lake Michigan Monster, a new release from Arrow Video, is just that kind of experience. Writer/director/star Ryland Brickson Cole Tews is the warped comedic mind

A court ruling that dropped today allowing movie studios to buy theaters (whether or not they want to — and they probably don’t) is the latest snub to an industry that’s been rattled by change for years, in particular since March and COVID-19. Exhibition hasn’t been this pressured in a century. When the 1918 Spanish

Another week of 2020, another week largely without movie theaters. Fortunately, it is a huge week for new movies making their way to streaming. While it may be from the comfort of home and not at a theater near you, there is no shortage of options when it comes to finding something to watch this

The fight for freedom of the press and against the oppressive political regime in the Philippines takes center stage in Ramona S.
