A Minecraft Movie North America Box Office Day 29: Beats Jason Momoa’s Aquaman In Returns! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

A Minecraft Movie, starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black in the lead roles, is still minting impressive numbers despite several new releases arriving in theatres. It’s already a successful affair and very soon, it’ll cross the $400 million milestone at the North American box office. But before it happens, it has achieved an interesting feat as it crossed the returns of Aquaman in the domestic market. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of 29 days!

Reception of the film

Directed by Jared Hess, the American fantasy adventure comedy film was theatrically released on April 4. It opened to mixed reviews from critics, but those mixed reviews didn’t have much impact on the ticket-buying audience. As a result, it enjoyed a successful run by maintaining a stronghold for almost a month.

For the first time since its release, a Minecraft movie has dropped below $1 million at the box office in North America this Thursday. The film is approaching the $400 million mark, but it might not be happening over the weekend as per the projected collection. Jason Momoa and Jack Black’s film seems to have thwarted further at the box office in North America. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The PG game adaptation dominated the box office until Sinners arrived, and in the past week, it also received competition from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. It continues to earn fewer numbers in the US; however, the film is expected to re-enter the top three this weekend. Last weekend, Jason Momoa’s film collected $22.7 million and was at #4 behind The Accountant 2, starring Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal, which...

The horror movie directed by Ryan Coogler is completing its second week at the box office in North America and overall. Sinners is moving towards an incredible mark in the US, and although it might lose the #1 spot to the latest MCU release, Thunderbolts*, it is still one of the highest-grossing movies of this year so far and might end up as the biggest horror movie.

The movie opened with significant numbers at the box office in North America, and it has already recovered its 490 million budget at the worldwide box office.

Thunderbolts* North America Box Office: Opening Weekend Projection(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Marvel Studios Thunderbolts* is garnering positive reviews so far at the cinemas. However, the results will be known when the opening weekend numbers are out. For now, it is aiming for a lower opening than Captain America: Brave New World. That is not a concern yet; it might pick up in the upcoming weeks. For now, it is looking at a lower release day than Florence Pugh’s debut MCU movie, Black Widow. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The movie has received excellent ratings on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. The critics gave it 88%, saying, “Assembling a ragtag band of underdogs with Florence Pugh as their magnetic standout, it refreshingly returns to the tried-and-true blueprint of the MCU’s best adventures.” The audience is also enjoying the MCU flick as they gave it a stronger 95% on the site.

Emilia Clarke played Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones for eight seasons, and if there’s anything she regrets the most, it’s not how her character’s arc went downhill or why she turned into an evil queen. It’s the fact that she left the show empty-handed.

As one of the most popular fantasy franchises, the set was filled with several props and items considered collectibles. Any fan would surely want a dragon egg or a dagger from the show to display in their room, but Clarke failed to take anything from the production.

The Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan starrer Marvel flick, Thunderbolts* was released in the theatres on May 2, 2025. The film kicked off on a decent note. The movie also managed to garner an impressive critics and audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Thunderbolts* Box Office Collection Day 1

According to Deadline, in its opening collection, the Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan starrer minted $11 million. The movie added another feather to its cap by attaining an audience Rotten Tomatoes rating of a whopping 96%, while the critics’ rating was at 88%. Interestingly, the film remained 23% higher than the audience rating of Captain America: Brave New World, which had garnered a rating of 78% upon its release on February 14, 2025.

Talking about the opening collection of Thunderbolts*, it remained 8.33% lower than the opening of Captain America: Brave New World. For the unversed, the Anthony Mackie starrer had opened at $12 million. However, Thunderbolts...

How Much Does Thunderbolts* Need At The Box Office To Succeed?(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Thunderbolts* has officially crash-landed into theaters, assembling a ragtag squad of anti-heroes, assassins, and chaotic government puppets for Marvel’s boldest gamble yet. With Bucky Barnes leading the charge and familiar faces like Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, and Ghost in tow, it’s less “Avengers, assemble” and more “therapy session meets classified mission.”

But behind the action and morally grey charm lies a serious mission: saving Marvel’s post-Endgame momentum. After a streak of box office highs and lows, Thunderbolts* is carrying more weight than just emotional baggage. It’s not just about explosions and redemption arcs; it’s about proving that Marvel still has box office muscle. So, how much money does this unpredictable team need to rake in before the MCU hits Doomsday? Let’s break down what it takes to turn this cinematic Hail Mary into a hit.

Mom and Dad are fighting. It’s not often that we see discord between Sam and Jay on Ghosts, but this Thursday’s episode reminds us that although they’re couple goals, Sam and Jay also have arguments just like any other married pair, much as we dislike it.

While Momoa himself is known for his easygoing charm, he confessed that keeping a straight face opposite Black wasn’t just difficult—it was a battle against joyous eruption. Apparently, the sheer comedic gravity of Black’s presence often left Momoa struggling to contain his laughter during filming.

The expansive worlds of Star Wars and Monopoly have collided in the latest “Monopoly Go!” event.

In a collaboration led by Scopely, the popular mobile game “Monopoly Go!” has crossed over with “Star Wars” for a two-month adventure, spanning the stories of both “The Mandalorian” and “The Skywalker Saga” on the “Monopoly Go!” mobile game. The in-game event begins Thursday.

A Minecraft Movie China Box Office: Hits $25 Million (Photo Credit –Facebook)

A Minecraft Movie is the current hot topic in the world of movies. It has hit all the right notes and has become the highest-grossing Hollywood movie of the year. The film recently crossed a significant mark at the box office in China. However, its local star, Ne Zha 2, reclaimed its crown and is back at the #1 spot in China. Keep scrolling for more.

The movie opened with favorable numbers at the box office in China. It collected $6.5 million on its opening day on the mainland and around 414.5 million on its opening weekend. The videogame adaptation has slowed down at the box office and is being dominated by Sinners and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. One is a new R-rated horror movie, and the other is a re-release celebrating the 20th anniversary.

According to Variety‘s report, A...

While it became clear in the weeks leading up to the release of A Minecraft Movie that the industry was underestimating its box office potential, few could have predicted that it would become a blockbuster of this magnitude. The movie broke records in its debut, and has managed to hold its own even in the wake of the Sinners wave. And now, less than a month into its theatrical run, A Minecraft Movie has entered an elite list of blockbuster films. Directed by Jared Hess, who was previously best known for the cult comedy Napoleon Dynamite, A Minecraft Movie is now one of the 100 highest-grossing hits in global box office history.

It recently overtook Roland Emmerich’s classic ‘90s film Independence Day to claim the 100th spot on the all-time list, with a lifetime global haul of $817 million. Today, it’s overtaking Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman, and by this weekend,...

Eminem Defended His Lyrics In NME Interview ( Photo Credit – Facebook )

Eminem and Gwen Stefani have crossed paths more than once in their careers, but it wasn’t always smooth sailing between the two. From wild lyrics to unlikely collaborations, their story is nothing short of interesting.

It all started back in 2004. Eminem, never one to shy away from controversy, wrote some pretty outlandish lyrics about Gwen Stefani on his track “A** Like That.” He sings, “So, Gwen Stefani, will you pee pee on me, please?” The line was, well, something most of us would call disrespectful.

He’s known for pushing the boundaries, but this? It raised a few eyebrows. So, was this some sort of diss aimed at Stefani? Not according to Eminem. In fact, he had a pretty chill explanation for those eyebrow-raising lyrics. The Hollywood rapper claimed he meant no disrespect at all. Instead, he said it was all in good fun.

A Minecraft Movie is becoming a big success for Warner Bros Pictures. It has now surpassed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II to become one of the top 5 highest-grossing films of the studio. It previously beat The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson and even Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, to crawl up the list. Overall, the video game adaptation at the domestic box office has surpassed Finding Nemo to move closer to the top 50 all-time highest-grossers chart in the US. Keep scrolling for more.

With four more episodes to go, fans are waiting with bated breath about what will happen next and whether Joel will make an appearance in the remaining episodes.

Jack Black sets a new Billboard record thanks to his hit song from A Minecraft Movie.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the song "Steve's Lava Chicken" from A Minecraft Movie has officially breached the Billboard Hot 100 chart, debuting at number 78 on this week's chart. The song, which stands at only 34 seconds in length, marks a record-making moment for the Billboard Hot 100 as the shortest track to make its mark on the long-running music chart.

Co-written by Black and A Minecraft Movie director Jared Hess, the lyrics of "Steve's Lava Chicken" consist of only five lines, as follows, "LA-la-la-lava, ch-ch-ch-chicken / Steve’s Lava Chicken, yeah, it’s tasty as hell / Ooh, mamacita, now you’re ringin’ the bell / Crispy and juicy, now you’re havin’ a snack / Ooh, super spicy, it’s a lava attack." The song has become a favorite for Minecraft fans in the weeks since it premiered in theaters...

Amid the theatrical success of A Minecraft Movie, Warner Bros. looks to capitalize on the viral reactions and excitement triggered by the video game adaptation with special block party screenings. A new poster promoting the film's "sing-along meme-along" release teases the potential chaos these screenings could bring.

Via Screen Rant on X (formerly Twitter), the A Minecraft Movie block party poster sees Jack Black's Steve belting out tunes on his saxophone and Jason Momoa's Garrett "The Garbage Man" Garrison looking like a badass. The poster also features various notable Minecraft characters and imagery as Warner Bros. hopes to attract enthusiasts of the video game and live-action film adaptation in droves for the screenings.

“Steve’s Lava Chicken” is tasty as hell — and a charting song on the Hot 100.

Jack Black’s new track from A Minecraft Movie may only be 34-seconds long, but that didn’t stop the song from breaking into the Billboard Hot 100 after becoming a viral hit on TikTok this month. “Steve’s Lava Chicken” debuted at No. 78 on this week’s chart, which the publication has confirmed is a record for the shortest track to ever land on the chart.

The song only encompasses a few lyrics, which were written by Black and director Jared Hess, where his character sings about his admiration for chicken smothered in hot lava. “LA-la-la-lava, ch-ch-ch-chicken / Steve’s Lava Chicken, yeah, it’s tasty as hell / Ooh, mamacita, now you’re ringin’ the bell / Crispy and juicy, now you’re havin’ a snack / Ooh, super spicy, it’s a lava attack,” he sings over a trendy,...

It’s been just over a month since it was reported that Colin Farrell would star in the Dcu’s Sgt. Rock movie from Luca Guadagnino, but now things have come to a screeching halt. THR is reporting that Sgt. Rock is no longer moving forward before it ever began production. James Gunn mentioned during a DC event earlier this year with Collider in attendance that there had been some trouble getting the project off the ground. THR also included in their report that Mike Faist, who previously starred in Challengers for Guadagnino, was also in talks to star in the project. It was in pre-production in England and was planning to begin shooting this summer. It’s unclear at the time why the project was scrapped, but it’s the first under Gunn to receive the ax.

Before Colin Farrell signed on for Sgt. Rock, it was Daniel Craig...

Conan the Barbarian was created by author Robert E. Howard in the early 1930s – and around the time of the character’s 50th anniversary, he was brought to life on the screen in an incredibly popular movie (titled Conan the Barbarian) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger reprised the role in the less popular sequel, Conan the Destroyer, in 1984, and while there were plans for another sequel in the ’80s, but it never made it into production. And even though Schwarzenegger has been saying for years that he wants to play Conan again, somehow it has never happened. Instead, we got a Conan the Barbarian reboot in 2011 – a movie that star Jason Momoa has described as “a big pile of sh*t.” Five years ago, it was announced that the Netflix streaming service had secured a deal with Conan Properties International that gave them the right to dig through the entire catalog...

The long-rumored Conan the Barbarian reboot series just got a definitively devastating update from its director. Most are familiar with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s chiseled portrayal of the hero in the 1982 film, but Conan the Barbarian is actually based on a string of short stories from Robert E. Howard. The film was remade in 2011 with Jason Momoa taking on the lead role, and there was reported to even a TV series reboot in the works for years. Robert Rodriguez, best known for his work on the Spy Kids franchise, was even attached as a director, but the project has reportedly been scrapped for now. Rodriguez recently sat down with Joe Rogan for an episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, and he provided an update on the show, even going as far as to say what led to its demise:

"Netflix had it. I went and pitched it to them.

While Ryan Coogler's Sinners certainly stole its thunder, let's not forget that fellow Warner Bros. release A Minecraft Movie was the first big Hollywood blockbuster of the year. The movie continues to be the biggest English-language hit of 2025, as it charges towards a rather exclusive domestic box office list. Before it tapes out, A Minecraft Moviewill become one of the 50 highest-grossing hits of all time — a milestone that it is only around $20 million shy of. It's also the second-biggest video game adaptation in history, behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie from a couple of years ago.

Thanks to Tuesday's $1 million haul, the film's domestic box office total now stands at $380 million. This puts it just ahead of the Pixar classic Finding Nemo. A Minecraft Movie now ranks 57 on the all-time domestic chart; it needs to overtake Frozen's $401 million haul to enter the all-time top 50. This is entirely possible,...

More footage from the set of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has found its way online today, this time showcasing the Maiden of Might doing battle with three armoured baddies.

Based on previous photos and videos, this seems to be part of an outer space battle with Supergirl attacking a tank, fighting its inhabitants as it blasts through the cosmos, and then taking flight while tackling one of her foes.

We don't know who they are, though we wouldn't be shocked if they're somehow linked to Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow's big bad, Krem of the Yellow Hills. Whatever the case may be, the hero has some badass fighting skills.

Superman is expected to introduce the Dcu's Supergirl, and if DC Studios follows the comic this movie shares a name with, we can expect Kara Zor-El to be a little rougher around the edges than previous live-action adaptations. It's previously been...

When The New York Times asked him about that violent Game of Thrones scene, he said it left “a bad feeling in my stomach.” The actor, who once played the fearsome Khal Drogo, got visibly uncomfortable when pressed about the show’s use of sexual violence. “I was bummed when you asked me that,” he told interviewer David Marchese. “It just feels icky—putting it upon me to remove something.”

The moment came during a sit-down interview marking the 10-year anniversary of Game of Thrones. Marchese raised a fair question, considering the show’s long history of criticism for its treatment of women. He asked, “Do you think differently today about those scenes? Would you do one now? Do you have any regrets?”

Momoa gave a measured response at first. “Well, it was important...

A Minecraft Movie experienced a harsh dip on its fourth Monday at the box office in North America. Despite the mixed reactions, the videogame adaptation is inching closer to yet another huge milestone domestically.

The PG game adaptation has already surpassed Detective Pikachu and last year’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in the early days of its release to become the second highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time.

Jada Pinkett Smith Talked About Oscars Shock (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Jada Pinkett Smith, the talented actress and Will Smith’s wife, is a lot more than just a sidekick to her superstar husband. Sure, she’s often called “Will’s wife,” but Jada is not always thrilled about that label. She’s made it clear in a chat with Red that it’s “more annoying than anything else.”

Why? Because the American beauty is a force in her own right. With her career as an actress, producer, and author, she’s built her own name, and she’s tired of being pigeonhole. But before you think it’s all about resentment, let’s set the record straight.

Jada’s love for Will is obvious, but she’s all about self-reflection and growth. She’s shared that in the past, she made some major sacrifices for Will’s career. Movies she passed on,...

The first look at Milly Alcock suited up as Supergirl has surfaced. Earlier this month, photos from the set of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow made their way around the internet, which featured the House of the Dragon star donning the signature cape for her debut adventure in the DC Universe and fans have had a lot of thoughts about it.

That's not particularly surprising as fans have had a lot of thought about all things Dcu since the brand reboot was announced back in 2022. James Gunn and Peter Safran are overseeing rhe relaunch with Gunn's own Superman movie arriving in theaters this summer. Rumor has it that Alcock will make her official debut as the Girl of Steel in that movie, setting the stage for her return in her solo adventure next summer.

But in the meantime, audiences have these set photos to go on, and they look thrilling.

Jack Black’s “Minecraft Movie” meme jam “Steve’s Lava Chicken” has become the shortest song to ever enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

“Steve’s Lava Chicken,’ which clocks in at a mere 34 seconds, debuted at No. 78 on the Hot 100. The song also reached No. 10 on the Hot Rock Songs chart. According to online data tracker Luminate (per Billboard), the tune has achieved 7 million total streams in the United States between April 18 and April 24.

Black, a member of the comedy rock duo Tenacious D, is not the only accomplished musician featured on the “Minecraft Movie” soundtrack. The top-billed track, “I Feel Alive,” features “Foo Fighters” lead singer Dave Grohl on drums, Queens of the Stone Age’s Troy Van Leeuwen on guitar and Jellyfish’s Roger Joseph Manning Jr. on keys.

“Steve’s Lava Chicken” took the record for the shortest song ever on the Hot 100 from Kid Cudi’s “Beautiful Trip,...

The first season of Game of Thrones opened with an explicit scene that occurred during Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo’s wedding night. For those who haven’t read the books, for sure you have no idea that it shouldn’t be an assault scene. George R.R. Martin was dissatisfied with the show’s take because it was supposed to be a consensual act.

Television is quite fast-paced, and we know it does not have all the time in the world to rummage through a character’s mind. That’s what novels are for, and I’ve come to realize that the showrunners did the best they could to fit the story accordingly for the screen.

Natasha Lyonne, who currently stars in Poker Face, is set to make her directorial debut soon. However, it won't be in the way fans of the acclaimed performer might be thinking. The five-time Emmy-nominated actress will be tackling an AI film that she co-wrote, but there is a twist — the project will be a mixture of traditional filmmaking and AI-generated video. As Hollywood continues to show resistance against AI, some studios and filmmakers have sought to normalize it and make it a "tool" for artists.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Lyonne is set to direct and star in Uncanny Valley, based on a script she wrote alongside Brit Marling, who will also be featured in the film. The collaboration will be produced by Asteria, the generative AI studio company that was co-founded by Lyonne. As the name suggests, Uncanny Valley will blend live-action and AI-generated elements. However, expect a heavy dose of the latter,...

Michael B. Jordan’s rise from TV newcomer to Hollywood A-lister showcases his talent and strategic career choices. From standout roles in The Wire and Friday Night Lights to leading major franchises and producing his work, Jordan has built a career marked by range, focus, and a commitment to telling impactful, inclusive stories. He is being lauded for his performance in the film Sinners, which is running at the cinemas. He is considered one of the most accomplished actors of the current generation, and he keeps reinventing himself.

Jordan is best known for his roles in the Creed franchise and Black Panther. He appears in a dual role in this 2025 original horror. In 2020 and 2023, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Did Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest set the scene for James Bond? (Photo Credit – YouTube)

Long before James Bond ever ordered a martini or shot down a henchman in Dr. No, Alfred Hitchcock had already stitched together the cinematic DNA of 007 in North by Northwest.

Hitchcock’s thriller, released in 1959, three years before Sean Connery donned the tux, was practically a James Bond prototype in everything but name. Cary Grant’s Roger Thornhill, a sharp-suited ad man mistaken for a spy, finds himself dodging bullets, seducing mysterious women, and leaping across iconic landmarks.

Well, it sounds familiar, right? It should as this was the stylish, danger-laced formula that would come to define Britain’s most famous secret agent.

Was Elvis Presley truly passionate for Karate?(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Elvis Presley wasn’t just a Hollywood idol, he was a 7th dan black belt in Shotokan Karate by 1974. So, how did this global superstar earn such a high rank in a discipline requiring years of devotion and modesty?

It all started back in 1958 when Presley was stationed in Germany as a U.S. soldier. With time on his hands and curiosity to spare, he began training with Juergen Seydel, a German Shotokan master. That interest didn’t fade.

On paid leave, Presley traveled to Paris, where he trained under Tetsuji Murakami, who would become the Shotokan master of Europe. His teachers, by the way, were no slouches — they were giants in the field. With their guidance and the Change of Habit actor’s love for his chosen martial art, he earned his black belt in approximately two years, which is pretty much unheard of.

Did Jeniifer Lopez injure Billy Campbell’s ribs? (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

Back in the early 2000s, Lopez took Hollywood by storm, headlining more than 10 films, including Enough in 2002. In the thriller, she played Slim, a charming server who married a wealthy customer, only to discover the dark side of their relationship. Opposite her, Billy Campbell stepped in as Mitch, the husband Slim eventually had to fight tooth and nail to escape. And those action scenes were just as intense behind the scenes as they looked on screen.

Campbell himself confirmed it during a red carpet interview. Describing their final clash, he said, “Hammering each other! I have to say that she got the better of me. I bruised her arm — I’m pretty sure about that. And I know for a fact she bruised my ribs. She may have separated them.” No wonder he still sounded a little in awe.

The building blocks of the 2025 box office have been slowly pieced together after a stuttering start for US cinema. Thanks to A Minecraft Movie, that building process has been aptly sped up, with Jared Hess' video game adaptation taking theaters by storm and destroying its box office competition. Already, A Minecraft Movie is the highest-grossing domestic flick of the year by quite some distance, and has edged its way into the line-up of highest-grossing Warner Bros. releases in their global history.

Now, thanks to even more sustained success that saw the film finish second in the most recent box office weekend rankings behind Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, A Minecraft Movie has entered another impressive list, namely the 20 highest-grossing live-action movies of all time at the US box office. This is thanks to a current global total of $814.9 million, consisting of $379.9 million from nationwide theaters and $435 million from overseas markets. Over the most recent weekend,...

It’s no secret that the first A Quiet Place took the world by storm, so when the sequel came around just three years later, fans were buzzing. But, as Blunt and her husband, John Krasinski, explained, a sequel was never in the cards. Both thought it would be impossible to top the original, and Krasinski wasn’t keen on making a second one just for the sake of it. Blunt even said, “I don’t believe that everything should be sequel-sized,” and Krasinski agreed, noting, “I didn’t want to do a second one.

A crucial twine that would have landed like a thunderclap was stripped from the screen adaptation, not because Hitchcock didn’t want it, but because the times simply wouldn’t allow it.

The Murder That Never Made It to Screen

In du Maurier’s 1938 novel, Maxim de Winter isn’t just a haunted widower wrapped in brooding silence; he’s a killer. Rebecca, the first Mrs. de Winter, meets her end not through a convenient accident, but by Maxim’s hand. Her manipulations and cruelty, and her final attempt to destroy, succeeded in...

Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Holland didn’t just save the universe in Avengers: Infinity War, they clashed over it. While Earth’s mightiest heroes teamed up on screen, these two were throwing down their own bold claims behind the scenes. And yep, fans were left picking sides.

On set, things got… lively.

Both actors had serious thoughts about how Doctor Strange and Spider-Man should tackle their big moments. Cumberbatch later admitted they had different ideas about how things should go, while Holland fought hard to keep Peter Parker’s youthful heart front and center.

It wasn’t ugly. It wasn’t petty. It was pure, chaotic, Marvel-style passion.

Usually, the only thing loud in movie theaters is the movie itself, blasting sound effects, music and more out of the various speakers in the room. While there are sounds from the audience sometimes — a laugh, an outburst due to a wild scene, a baby crying, etc. — they're usually asked to refrain from being too loud or messy.A Minecraft Movie fans are getting the rare opportunity to go against those rules, though. Although it has already been a trend worldwide since the film was released, Warner Bros. is making it official, encouraging it for their "Block Party Edition" screenings.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the historical entertainment studio wants moviegoers to revisit their love of the film on Friday, May 2, in North America and select international markets. This time, you can sing along and even recite the lines during the "Block Party," and no one can turn around and shush you.

The new DC Universe is continuing to grow, and 2026 will be no different as Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will arrive in movie theaters as one of the franchise's upcoming installments. This year's Superman will pave the way for the Girl of Steel's arrival, but it's safe to say that fans are ready to keep up with the Kryptonians in the near-future. And that includes seeing them take on some of their greatest foes.

James Gunn and Peter Safran are overseeing the DC Studios franchise, which they have promised audiences will pay tribute to the DC Comics, providing faithful storylines that comic book fans will love. And given that Supergirl's subtitle comes from a beloved comic series, audiences are expecting a great deal from that one.

One character who we know will appear in the movie is Lobo, and he will be played by none other than Jason Momoa. Now,...

Jack Black has broken a Billboard record in quite literally the shortest way possible. “Steve’s Lava Chicken,” a 34-second track from A Minecraft Movie, has debuted on the Hot 100. In doing so, it has broken the record for shortest song to even crack the singles chart, dethroning the previously record holder, Kid Cudi’s 37-second interlude track “Beautiful Trip.”

“Steve’s Lava Chicken” charted this week at No. 77 on the Billboard Hot 100. The track comes at a scene where Steve (played by Black) educates his fellow travelers on what happens when one cooks chicken with lava. The crew looks on, bewildered, as Black sings these few, short bars: “LA-la-la-lava, ch-ch-ch-chicken/Steve’s Lava Chicken/yeah, it’s tasty as hell/Ooh, mamacita, now you’re ringin’ the bell/Crispy and juicy, now you’re havin’ a snack/Ooh, super spicy, it’s a lava attack.” Black hits a high falsetto for that final line,...
