Though I had some hopes thatPatty Jenkins’Wonder Womanwould take this weekend as its third and last time at number one, it’s now clear that Pixar’sCars 3will ably beat the DCEU’s only good movie to date. This wasn’t true on Thursday, however. By the end of the day on Thursday, previews for bothCars 3andAll Eyez on Me, a wildly problematic take on the life ofTupac Shakur, had the latter ahead of the latest tale of Lightning McQueen....
The Friday box office numbers are in, and in a surprising twist, a female-led historical drama about the space race may be the film to finally dethrone the female-led space-set epicRogue Onefrom the #1 spot. Indeed, directorTheodore Melfi’s (St. Vincent) feel-good dramaHidden Figuresis performing above expectations, bringing in a strong $7.6 million on Friday and a stellar A+ CinemaScore from audiences. The film was a late entry to the awards season but the 20th Century Fox drama has garnered swell reviews andcould well be on its way to a Best Picture nomination....
James Gunndoesn’t mess around when it comes to Easter Eggs. When the director made his Marvel debut withGuardians of the Galaxy, Gunn left plenty of tidbits lying around for comic book fans to spot in the background. You cansee a whole bunch of them in this video, but not all of them because according to Gunn there’s still one Easter Egg that’s either so subtle or so obscure, it still hasn’t been spotted by a single audience member....
The Dark Knight Risesmight have felt like the logical conclusion toChristopher Nolan’sDark Knighttrilogy, but it wouldn’t have ended there if Warner Bros. had gotten their way.In a recent phone interview with the Toronto Sun,Christian Balerevealed that there were indeed talks of a fourth Batman film directed by Nolan and starring Bale as the Caped Crusader. Although according to the actor, those talks didn’t last very long. Bale says, “Chris had always said to me that if we were fortunate to be able to make three we would stop....
Editor’s Note: Spoilers are ahead for Season 2 of ‘The Tourist.’ If you’re just as shocked by the ending ofThe TouristSeason 2, you’re not alone. The final moments of the BBC-produced series streaming exclusively onNetflix created a lot more questions than answers for its protagonists, played magnetically byJamie DornanandDanielle Macdonald. Initially developed as a limited series byHarryandJack Williams, the high-octane dark comedy has evolved across its 12 episodes from acaptivating outback, neo-Western thrillerto a remarkably layered mystery brimming with sharp plot twists....

One of the more well-received movies at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (which is still ongoing—I’m filing this story from Toronto!) was theJackie KennedybiopicJackie, which is anything but your standard biopic. Collider’s own Matt Goldberg praised the filmin his positive review, and now Fox Searchlight has secured domestic distribution rights to the film and has already staked out a very Oscar friendly December 9th release date. The film has actually been in the works for years, and once was set up at Fox Searchlight as a directorial effort fromDarren Aronofsky....
At one point,Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocolwas supposed to be a handoff film. The franchise would essentially transfer fromTom CruisetoJeremy Renner, and therefore become kind of a soft reboot for the series. Instead, the series transformed into more of a team dynamic, and while there’s no mistaking that Ethan Hunt is still the lead character, Renner’s William Brandt fit nicely into the team dynamic as the guy whose reactions are largely, “You gotta be shitting me....
Admittedly, the acclaimed and belovedHellboycomics are just outside of my circle of experience, but I’ll be damned to the infernal pit ifNeil Marshall’s upcoming adaptation doesn’t look like it’s made just for the fans. The first trailer for the Lionsgate/Summit flick arrived earlier today and, in addition toDavid Harbourtaking on the title role and donning the horns and red right hand, it showed off a ton of rather insane demonic action....

Scary Stories to Tell in the Darkwill be bringing the horrifying stories of writerAlvin Schwartz(and the equally terrifying illustrations ofStephen Gammel) to life this summer. But it won’t be an R-rated affair. Instead, kids who grew up on these tales in the 80s and 90s will be able to take their own families to go see the scary stories on the big screen.
