Refresh for latest…: Marvel Studios/Disney’s Thunderbolts* has reached $272.2M worldwide in its sophomore session. The current international box office cume is $143.7M after this frame added $34M overseas. The latter reps a 52% drop (-50% excluding China). The New Avengers continue to reap great social scores and are on their way to $300M global by the end of the week. The ragtag ensemble was the top studio title in most offshore markets this weekend.

Before we dive into more detail on Thunderbolts* second go-round, let’s dig into some new milestones for Warner Bros/Legendary’s A Minecraft Movie. The Jack Black/Jason Momoa-starrer topped the nine-century mark globally in its sixth weekend with $909.6M through Sunday. It also passed half a billion internationally, now at $500.6M. More detail below.

Turning back to Thunderbolts*, it was the top MPA picture in most of Europe. Across Asia, it was No.

As we approach the end of Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 4, ten different storylines are in motion, and that’s how Power has continuously operated.

Various characters and story arcs are being juggled, and at a certain point, many of them start to merge, which we are starting to see here.

This was the first hour we saw Kanan and Unique interact, the number one Raq haters, and Stefano turn on Raq, and Lou-Lou make a decision about his future.

The first poster for Peacemaker season 2 has been released, with the trailer now confirmed for tomorrow. Some of you may be disappointed that this is getting a push before Superman's first full trailer lands, but the Man of Steel did recently get a 5-minute sneak peek and featurette.

This latest sneak peek, which follows yesterday's TV spot, doesn't reveal much, but puts the spotlight on the title character and Eagly. It's also accompanied by the tagline, "There is no I in Peace."

Plot details for season 2 are being kept a closely guarded secret, though there are rumblings that, among the changes made when we follow Smith into a new reality, will be the fact that his father and brother are alive again. Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr. will also be out for revenge after learning of Peacemaker's role in his son's death.

Peacemaker spun out of the events of The Suicide Squad,...

In talking about her new concert movie, “Björk: Cornucopia,” the movie’s namesake mentions the way the performance in the film wraps up, and the finally hopeful message she wanted to get across with it.

She says the ending of the movie has “Love will save us from death” as its climactic message, “which I highly believe in. It is a strange reply to the goths of Joy Division’s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart.’ I want optimistic goth,” she declares. For emphasis, she cheekily adds: “Albino goth is what I am going for here.”

Getting to that uplifting ending on stage was a typically mind-blowing experience, as recaptured in “Björk: Cornucopia,” the magical-reality concert film documenting her five-year-long tour that opens in cinemas worldwide today. (Tickets and theater locations for the film can be found here.)

HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ dives deeper into its post-apocalyptic world with season 2, and one character stealing the spotlight is Isaac Dixon, played by Jeffrey Wright. If you’re wondering who this guy is and why he matters, let’s break it down. Isaac isn’t just another survivor—he’s a commanding figure whose presence shakes up the story, especially for Abby Anderson, a key player in this season.

Isaac Dixon leads the Washington Liberation Front, or Wlf, a militia group in Seattle. Known as the Wolves, they’re a heavily armed force fighting for control in a world ravaged by the Cordyceps infection. Isaac’s no hero, though. He’s a former Marine who turned against Fedra, the government agency running quarantine zones, after growing fed up with their harsh rule. His leadership helped the Wlf overthrow Fedra in Seattle, but freedom came at a cost. Isaac...

Debbie Johnson from 90 Day Fiancé has left British Columbia, Canada, and was recently spotted in another country with Colt Johnson. Initially introduced as Colt's supportive mother on the show, Debbie played a crucial role in guiding him in his relationships with Larissa Lima, Jess Caroline, and Vanessa Guerra. Following Vanessa's encouragement to seek her own romantic partner, Debbie met Tony Starcevich, a Canadian native. Over time, Debbie and Tony's relationship blossomed, leading them to move in together. Debbie has been happily living with Tony in Canada for the past few years.

Debbie expressed her excitement about celebrating Halloween with Tony in his hometown in November 2024, following their reunion after visa delays.

However, it appears that she has now chosen to embark on a new adventure once again, leaving Canada behind. A video on Instagram, posted by @shabooty, showed Debbie and her son, Colt, at Saturday Market in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Sinners has passed a crucial milestone at the worldwide box office. The new horror movie, which follows twins Smoke and Stack (both played by Michael B. Jordan) facing a sinister evil after returning to their Mississippi hometown in the 1930s, was directed by Black Panther and Creed's Ryan Coogler. The Sinners box office has set multiple records, including earning the best Easter opening weekend ever for an R-rated movie and having the second-best week 2 drop ever for an R-rated horror movie.

Per Variety, as of Sunday morning, Sinners is projected to close its third weekend in theaters by hitting a cumulative domestic total of $181 million. When combined with the $57 million that it is projected to have earned overseas by the end of Sunday, this brings its cumulative global box office total to $236 million. That total sees it passing the $225 million milestone, which is most likely its break-even point, because its...

Sunday Update: Coming in a touch lower than where we saw it heading yesterday, Marvel Studios/Disney’s Thunderbolts* has opened to $162.1M globally, including $86.1M from the international box office. The worldwide bow is within the pre-weekend projected opening range.

Overseas, the Florence Pugh-starrer launched at No. 1 or No. 1 non-local in nearly all major markets as well as most smaller markets. The international debut is estimated to be 45% ahead of Shang-Chi, 13% above Ant-Man and 7% over Guardians of the Galaxy in like-for-like markets at current rates (excluding China).

The film played best in Latin America and smaller Asian markets, while Europe was a bit mixed. Although overall Saturday bumps didn’t pan out as hoped, parts of Europe saw some of the biggest Friday-Saturday increases which reflects the impact of changing weather. Similar to the U.S., reviews and social sentiment internationally are generally strong, and Thunderbolts* has runway...

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.

Although Sinners was bumped out of most IMAX theaters to make room for Thunderbolts, overwhelming popular and critical response is prompting Warner Bros. to bring it back.

Written and directed by Ryan Coogler, the period vampire film will return to nine IMAX theaters in 70mm for one week from May 15 to May 21.

Locations include: City Walk Stadium in Los Angeles, CA; Irvine Spectrum in Irvine, CA; Metreon in San Francisco, CA; Lincoln Square in New York, NY; Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis, In; Arizona Mills in Phoenix, Az; Autonation in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl; Webb Chapel in Dallas, TX; and Colossus in Toronto, On.

“Audiences have spoken and we listened,” said WB’s President of Global Distribution Jeff Goldstein. “If ever a film needed to be experienced in this incredible larger-than-life format, it’s Sinners. Ryan has delivered a film that has been embraced by fans who appreciate the craftsmanship that...

Before Bella Ramsey became famous for their role as Ellie in HBO’s video game adaptation series, The Last of Us, the actor was known for Game of Thrones. They made their debut as a young noblewoman named Lyanna Mormont in the HBO series, leaving viewers in awe of their acting genius at such a young age.

But it wasn’t just viewers who were left impressed, as even their co-star, Kit Harington, was left a bit impressed and humiliated by them trying to help him out. Harington, who starred as Jon Snow, recently recalled how Ramsey trying to help him remember his line ended up being one of his most humiliating moments ever.

These days, it’s rare to hear something cool about programming on the Netflix streaming service that involves older films rather than the next batch of “Netflix Original Films” they have in the works – but here’s something very cool: Netflix has announced that they’re teaming up with the New York Film Critics Circle to launch a screening series called Hitch! The Original Cinema Influencer at the Paris Theater, which is the longest-running arthouse cinema in New York City and is also Manhattan’s only remaining single-screen cinema, as well as the borough’s largest movie theater, with 535 seats. If you can’t make it to the Paris Theater for the screenings, you’ll be glad to hear that a collection of classic Hitchcock films will also be available to stream on Netflix as of June 1st.

Here’s the information that was provided by Netflix: Keep the lights...

Netflix is expanding its U.S. streaming library in June with a collection of films by Alfred Hitchcock, including The Birds, Vertigo, Rear Window, Family Plot, Frenzy, and The Man Who Knew Too Much. The lineup joins Psycho, which is already available on the service.

The platform will also present a six-week film series titled “Hitch! The Original Cinema Influencer” at the Paris Theater in New York City. The retrospective, running from May 16 through June 29, will include more than 50 films, 36 of which were directed by Hitchcock. Thirty-five of those titles will be screened in 35mm prints. The program is co-presented by the New York Film Critics Circle.

Screenings will include Rear Window, Vertigo, and North by Northwest, along with films that draw on Hitchcock’s style, such as François Truffaut’s The Bride Wore Black and Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Diabolique. Also featured is Hitchcock, the 2012 biopic directed by Sacha Gervasi.

Jordan Peele’s love for the strange and the supernatural has always been loud and clear, and with The Twilight Zone reboot, he got to play host to a modern version of the legendary 1959 series he grew up admiring. Much like Rod Serling did back in the day, Peele used the format to peel back the layers of society’s darkest corners, mixing horror with moral dilemmas and mind games. Though the revival didn’t stick around as long as fans might have hoped, it packed a punch in its short run and offered a platform for some solid talent.

The anthology came and went, but the faces from the series have moved on to pretty interesting chapters in 2025. From high-stakes dramas to animated franchises, here’s what the key cast members are busy with now.

This news isn't for The Birds! Fans of stone-cold classic thrillers have a reason to rejoice, as a large collection of Alfred Hitchcock's seminal works will be coming to Netflix in June. The collection of films coming to Netflix includes Vertigo, Rear Window, Frenzy, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Family Plot, The Birds and others. In addition to Hitchcock's masterpieces, Netflix will also be including in the collection movies that were inspired by the legendary director's work, such as Us by Jordan Peele, and Barbarian by Zach Cregger.

The collection of films is also being released in conjunction with a program called, "Hitch! The Original Cinema Influencer" Screening Series at the Paris Theater, May 16 through Jun. 29, which will be co-presented with the New York Film Critics Circle. The six-week series will include 50 films, of which 36 will be by the visionary director, while the others will be films...

Netflix will add seven Alfred Hitchcock classics to its U.S. streaming library beginning June 1. The catalog includes iconic suspense films such as Vertigo, Rear Window, and The Birds.

The Hitchcock catalog's streaming debut coincides with a major theatrical retrospective titled Hitch! The Original Cinema Influencer at New York's Paris Theater, co-presented with the New York Film Critics Circle. The film revival will span six weeks, from May 16 to June 29 at the historic single-screen cinema adjacent to Central Park. Netflix acquired the revered theater in 2019 and turned it into a flagship theatrical venue in New York.

The Hitchcock and Netflix team-up has plenty for cinephiles to enjoy. The Paris Theater program complements the legendary director's works, presenting restored classics and 35mm screenings of films inspired by Hitchcock's techniques alongside his filmography. Movies getting the showcase include The Bride Wore Black by François Truffaut and Diabolique by Henri-Georges Clouzot. Even contemporary...

Jeremy Renner's 2023 snow plow accident was a life-changing event for the MCU star, but the actor also believes it was life-ending, temporarily. The accident took place at his Nevada home, and led to Renner being hospitalized and being forced to undergo physical therapy. Renner is still on the path to a full recovery, although he has returned to work, starring in shows like Mayor of Kingstown. But, the actor feels like he was literally reborn during the incident.

Jeremy Renner wrote about the accident in his new memoir, My Next Breath, which was released yesterday. The actor recalled the incident in heartbreaking detail, including hearing his family's reaction as he was crushed by the plow. "As I lay on the ice, my heart rate slowed, and right there, on that New Year’s Day, unknown to my daughter, my sisters, my friends, my father, my mother, I just got tired,...

Alfred Hitchcock enjoyed making his audiences suffer, and now that uneasy feeling is coming to Netflix in large doses. The streamer said today that it will add several of the horror-suspense master’s best loved films, including The Birds, Vertigo, Rear Window, his final film Family Plot and more.

They join the filmmaker’s beloved and dreaded masterpiece Psycho, which is streaming now on Netflix.

Also headed to the service are Frenzy, The Man Who Knew Too Much and others, along with Hitchcock, a narrative feature about the legend directed by Sacha Gervasi. The new online collection also features films inspired by Hitchcock’s mastery such as Us and Barbarian.

Also on the horizon is “Hitch! The Original Cinema Influencer,” a six-week screening series at the 90-year-old Paris Theatre in Manhattan featuring more than 50 films including three dozen by Hitchcock. Many will be shown in 35mm, including Hitchcock’s Rear Window,...

Get ready to scream: Netflix is bringing a collection of Alfred Hitchcock films to the streaming service this June — and, despite chief Ted Sarandos’ belief that the movie-theater biz is “outdated,” the company will showcase the legendary filmmaker’s work at its Paris Theater in New York City in a six-week series.

Starting June 1, a collection of classic Hitchcock films will be available to stream in the U.S. Those will include “Vertigo,” “Rear Window,” “Frenzy,” “The Man Who Knew Too Much,” “Family Plot” and “The Birds.” Currently, U.S. customers can stream Hitchcock’s genre-defining masterpiece “Psycho,” now available on Netflix in the country.

In addition, Netflix’s Hitchcock collection will include films inspired by the British-born director, such as Jordan Peele’s “Us” and Zach Cregger’s “Barbarian,” as well as narrative feature “Hitchcock” directed by Sacha Gervasi.

Meanwhile, Netflix’s Paris Theater will present “Hitch! The Original Cinema Influencer,...

Sandfall Interactive just can’t stop winning, huh? Within a week of releasing their reactive RPG, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has gained a lot of attention. It’s possible Sandfall Interactive was sure about being a hit, as a live adaptation of the game was greenlit before release.

As of 2025, stories from games are getting highlighted in mainstream media. Recent ones being Devil May Cry and The Last of Us Part 2. While both these stories are well known and have gained a massive audience over the years, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 only took a week.

While it has been confirmed that a live adaptation is in the works, fans are going crazy over who should be cast to showcase the masterpiece. It’s for sure nobody wants a Last of Us situation repeated.

Good evening. We welcome you to Netflix and Chill with one of the all-time greats.

A collection of Alfred Hitchcock movies will be available for streaming on Netflix starting June 1, and Netflix is also staging a massive, six-week screening series at its Paris Theater in New York City that will cover many of the master of suspense’s classics.

Available for streaming on Netflix in the U.S. beginning on June 1 will be “Vertigo,” “Rear Window,” “Frenzy,” “The Man Who Knew Too Much,” “Family Plot,” “The Birds,” and more. “Psycho” is already available on the streamer, as is the biopic “Hitchcock” as directed by Sacha Gervasi. All the films will be presented in a row of titles on Netflix, and they’ll also be accompanied by some other films that were inspired by Hitchcock, such as “Us” and “Barbarian,” which Netflix has also licensed.

One of the most salient shortcomings of Netflix as a streaming service is that its film library at any given moment is frustratingly devoid of movies made before 1980. In the streamer's defense, their focus since 2013 (when they hit binge-viewing paydirt with "House of Cards") has been on generating a raft of original programming in order to cut back their need to license classic television shows and films they do not own. Additionally, the success of streaming services like The Criterion Channel and Tubi, which cater to cinephiles with an array of pre-1980 movies, suggests that this market has already voted with its dollars. This is somewhat understandable, but it also does a huge disservice to young film fans who, for example, might fall so hard for Mike Flannagan's "The Haunting of Hill House" that they desperately need to see Robert Wise's much-lauded 1963 take on Shirley Jackson's horror novel.

Netflix is making it the summer of Alfred Hitchcock in New York. The streaming giant will bring 36 Hitchcock films to its Paris Theater in New York, as well as a dozen more features connected to the director — from those he influenced (Robert Zemeckis’s What Lies Beneath) to those which influenced him (Fritz Lang’s M).

The series — Hitch! The Original Cinema Influencer — will run from May 16 to June 29 at the Paris Theater, which Netflix purchased in 2019. The films range from Hitchcock’s early works such as Blackmail to enduring hits such as Psycho and The Birds.

Thirty five of the films will play on 35 mm, including Birds, The Man Who Knew Too Much, North By Northwest, Rear Window and Vertigo. The New York Film Critics Circle is co-presenting the series.

The screening series coincides with Netflix bringing a collection Hitchcock titles to its service beginning June 1, including Vertigo, Rear Window,...

The Last of Us S2 Episode 3 Is a Heartfelt Reminder of Season 1(Photo Credit –Facebook)

The third episode of the massively mounted post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us Season 2 premiered yesterday. Maintaining the positive feedback trend in line with the first two episodes, the episode, titled ‘The Path’, has also been received well by critics and fans. The expectations were sky-high, especially after the devastating events shown in Episode 2, yet the latest episode has delivered.

The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 3 Reminds Us of Season 1’s Best-Reviewed Episode

The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 3 has been directed by the BAFTA-winning filmmaker Peter Hoar. Interestingly, he also went behind the camera to direct a highly admired episode of the show’s opening season. Peter Hoar directed the third episode titled ‘Long, Long Time’ of The Last of Us Season 1. And it had received highly positive feedback from critics at the time of its release.

Spoiler Alert !!!Spoiler warning for The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 3

Joel’s death came as a punch in the gut, even though many of us already expected it, and in the wake of an emotionally charged episode came a mellow, slow-paced chapter where the characters were given enough time to grieve. It’s a highly divisive episode, frankly speaking, because it took its time while many were waiting for the next series of action.

For the creators of the show, this was a clear favorite. While some of the audience found it long-winded and heavy on set-up, co-showrunner and game director Neil Druckmann was extremely happy with its direction.

The Arab Cinema Center (Acc) has announced the nominations for the 9th Critics Awards for Arab Films, the ceremony which will take place on the fringes of the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Four films are in the lead, making it into five categories each: Laila Abbas’ Thank You For Banking With Us (Palestine), Nabil Ayouch’s Everybody Loves Touda (Morocco); Jonathan Millet’s Ghost Trail (Tunisia) and Khaled Mansour’s Seeking Haven For Mr. Rambo (Egypt)

Mehdi Barsaoui’s Aïcha (Tunisia) follows with four nominations. Other films in the running include Mo Harawe’s The Village Next To Paradise (Somalia) Mahdi Fleifel’s To A Land Unknown (Palestine); Omar Hilal’s Voy! Voy! Voy! (Egypt) and Tawfik Alzaidi’s Norah (Saudi Arabia)

This year’s winners will be revealed during a ceremony on May 17 in Cannes. The event is organized by the Acc in collaboration with Mad Solutions and...

Well, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t see the heart-wrenching tragedy coming. The brutal death of Joel in The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 2, is nothing short of a hard-hitting, tear-jerking moment for those familiar with the game. But…what made it even more painful was that, despite knowing it was coming, it still felt like a sledgehammer to the heart.

When you embark on a journey with a character, you hope for growth, victories, and moments of solace. However, in The Last of Us universe, those precious moments of respite are few and far between, and Episode 3, The Path, shoves us face-first into the cold, cruel reality of grief. After the soul-shattering death of Joel, this episode sinks its claws into our hearts with no intent of letting go.

I repeat, I knew it was coming, but the brutality of it still left me gasping for air.

Updated: A very busy weekend at the global and international box office with strong holds for the films already in play and the impressive return of a Jedi.

Before we dive into detail, here’s the topline information.

Warner Bros/Legendary’s A Minecraft Movie crossed yet another century mark worldwide, now at $816.6M global after four weekends. That includes $436.6M from 78 offshore markets. The current frame overseas was $37.8M with the holdover drop from the Easter holiday session at just 44%.

Also from WB, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners saw an outstanding 14% dip from its opening last weekend internationally, spurred on by the great word of mouth. The weekend was worth $13.5M in 71 markets, and increased the offshore cume to $39.1M for $161.6M global to date.

Rounding out the WB trio, The Accountant 2 (an Amazon MGM Studios title that WB handles overseas) launched in 71 international markets this weekend to an estimated $13.7M.

Former reality stars Tayshia Adams and Luke Gulbranson have broken up!

The 34-year-old The Bachelorette star and the 41-year-old Summer House alum have been confirmed to split up five months ago, after two years of dating, according to People.

Keep reading to find out more…

“They are very much not together,” a source said of the former couple, who do not speak together anymore.

While Tayshia still currently follows Luke on Instagram, he no longer follows her.

Tayshia and Luke first met in late winter 2022, but didn’t spark dating rumors until March 2023 after being spotted out together. Later that year, they confirmed their romance as they spent Thanksgiving in NYC!

Pictured here: Tayshia attending the 2025 City Harvest Gala in New York City on Tuesday evening, while that same night across town, Luke was seen meeting up with other Summer House stars at the Us Weekly + Maidenform Reality Star Style Awards Party.

Sinners is the kind of film that arrives like a thunderclap: audacious, bloody, and brimming with style. Ryan Coogler, reuniting with Michael B. Jordan for their most ambitious collaboration yet, fuses period noir, supernatural horror, and musical fable into a rich, genre-fluid tapestry that’s as intellectually rigorous as it is downright entertaining.

Set in 1930s Mississippi, but filmed with a mischievous modern eye, Sinners follows the return of the Smokestack twins – Smoke and Stack Moore, both played with chameleonic confidence by Jordan – to their racially segregated hometown with a dream: to open a Black-owned juke joint in an abandoned sawmill. Naturally, things don’t go according to plan. The land is cursed, the locals are wary, and, oh yeah… there are vampires. And not the sparkly kind.

What’s most remarkable here isn’t the premise, Coogler has always had a knack for turning the familiar inside out, but the sheer confidence of execution.

Oh boy! Hollywood’s favorite bromance just took a very unexpected turn. While dodging legal drama like bullets—thanks to that jaw-dropping $400M lawsuit against him and his wife, Blake Lively—Ryan Reynolds casually dropped a bombshell at the Time 100 Summit. He claimed to be planning to stage a full-blown intervention for none other than his bestie, Hugh Jackman.

Yep. While Hugh Jackman is currently dreading a potential deposition in Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni (he might soon be called in to testify in this legal circus), Ryan Reynolds seemed more concerned that his pal is overworking himself. Forget guilt—Reynolds appeared, cracking jokes despite being responsible for Jackman’s upcoming misery.

Time flies when you’re not grounded by family dinners and moral monologues, huh? It’s been nearly 30 years since 7th Heaven first graced our boxy TVs, teaching us lessons one Bible verse at a time. Back then, the Camden crew was tighter than a lid on a pickle jar. We’re talkin’ about the days when buffering meant go make a sandwich, and moral lessons were delivered weekly with a side of family drama.

But life, as they say, isn’t always sunshine and sermonettes. Now here we are, nearly three decades deep since that 1996 premiere, and the cast has long since flown the coop. All doing their own thing, some soaring, some sailing, some just staying under the radar like that one friend who never posts on Instagram.

Life has thrown the cast into very different storms, and let us tell you, some umbrellas held better than others.

Just two days after an already impressive opening weekend performance, Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” might already be moving the goal posts for just how high it can climb at the box office. The industry has been oddly obsessed with whether this $90 million movie will be “profitable” so early in its box office run (for… reasons), but you have to feel good about the legs this movie most certainly has.

We’re not usually one to track daily box office numbers the way our sister trade publications would, but “Sinners” on Tuesday, April 22, just its fifth day in theaters, made another $8.6 million at the domestic box office. It made $7.8 million on Monday, taking its domestic haul to $64.4 million.

Both of those early week takes are more than the film made in preview showings on Thursday ($4.7 million). When you consider too that Tuesday screenings are generally discounted at most movie theaters, that...

Bella Ramsey has captivated audiences with their performance as Ellie in The Last of Us, and they've also made waves offscreen with their identity as a non-binary, autistic actor. Now, they've become only the second non-binary person to get a statue from world-famous waxwork masker Madame Tussauds.

Ramsey underwent the process of being measured for the figure last year, and they described it as "an honor" in a press statement released to the BBC. "It has been such a fun experience to be included in their creative process. I can't wait to see the finished look and to share it with fans," they went on.

"When people find out there's going to be a me at Madame Tussauds London, if they come around and see me, they'll realize how small I am," they said. "I just hope that people like giving me like a high-five or something, or shaking my hand.

Exclusive: Monkeypaw Productions, the production company of Oscar-winning genre maestro Jordan Peele, has undergone layoffs within its development department, multiple sources tell Deadline.

The layoffs have affected Christopher Rosati, Jamal M. Watson and Alex Kim, the company’s three Vice Presidents of Development and Production, as well as four to five junior staffers at the coordinator and assistant levels.

Word of layoffs at Monkeypaw comes ahead of the release of the company’s football-themed horror film Him, one of the most anticipated genre titles of the year, from director Justin Tipping. Aside from economic realities facing the entire industry in this moment, in a time of contraction, the reasoning behind the cuts hasn’t been made clear. Chatter about the company was widespread yesterday, with industry observers expecting that overhead at Monkeypaw had come down following a renegotiation of its overall deal with Universal Studio Group.

However, sources close to...

In fact, Vanderpump Og Katie Maloney has come out swinging against the reboot, blasting her old Bravo bosses for what she claims is a “cheap” attempt at cashing in on the popularity of the original cast.

Katie recently appeared on the “Detox Retox” podcast, hosted by her ex-husband and former castmate, Tom Schwartz.

When it came time to discuss Vanderpump 2.0, Katie was her usual uncensored self:

Ryan Coogler thanked his fans for supporting “Sinners” over its opening weekend, as it made history Monday as the biggest box office debut for an original film since Jordan Peele’s “Us” in 2019.

“Eternal Gratitude. My heart is bursting with it. I want to thank each and every one of you who bought a ticket to see ‘Sinners.’ Who decided to drive to see the film in different formats. Who bought popcorn and a drink, booked a sitter and carpooled, and stood in the lobby afterwards and talked and made a friend,” Coogler said in a thank you letter to fans obtained by TheWrap. “I want to thank you all who watched more than once, who recommended the film to others, both in person and on social media or on your text message chains.”

He went on to call the film a “gift of the opportunity,” as it allowed him...

Ryan Coogler’s period horror movie, Sinners, continues to perform well at the box office after its April 18, 2025, U.S. theatrical release. Starring Michael B. Jordan(Creed) in a double role, the film has pulled in an impressive $55.8 million in the U.S. and an additional $75.5 million globally. Sinners earned a record-breaking $7.8 million on its first Monday, which marks the second-highest Monday for an R-rated film, just behind It (2017).

After its premiere, Sinners surpassed World War Z’s Monday earnings of 7.6 million and outperformed Warner Bros.’ Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’s $6.2 million after a $111 million opening. The film’s strong start highlights its widespread appeal, especially with premium format screens and IMAX making up for 45% of its $48 million opening weekend collection. The exact split comes down to 19% for IMAX and 22% for Plfs.

Sinners is the first film to have been shot with IMAX cameras since Christopher Nolan’s 2023 hit, Oppenheimer. And since...

The second episode of The Last of Us Season 2 has been released, and it is an emotional rollercoaster. From the infected horde popping out of the snow to Abby’s crew arriving at Jackson, the showrunners held nothing back and elevated the source material for this medium.

Fans of the source material will be pleased to see a few iconic moments occur on screen; however, this version gave them that and more. Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby plays a pivotal role in the game, and some fans have questions about this character, such as her age. The show gave fans a definitive answer about how much older she is than Bella Ramsey’s Ellie.

It was quite a shock when Garcelle Beauvais walked off the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion set and never looked back. She had had enough and quit the show. The whole Bravo universe is weighing in, including former Rhobh Lisa Vanderpump.

History Repeated

Lisa left Rhobh in 2019, and the circumstances weren’t that different from Garcelle’s recent departure. Many players are the same, including Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, and Dorit Kemsley. The scandal, involving a dog adopted by Dorit, became known as “Puppy Gate.” The other ladies took Dorit’s side and basically iced out Lvp. The scandal culminated when Lisa asked her former Bff, Kyle, to leave her home, and her husband, Ken, yelled the famous “Goodbye Kyle” as she left Villa Rosa. The Vanderpump Rules star never returned to Rhobh.

Fast-forward to 2025, when Garcelle, like Lisa, felt ignored by most of her castmates. She remarked during...

Ryan Coogler's R-rated vampire horror movie Sinnerstopped the box office in its opening weekend in theaters and received widespread acclaim. The biggest sin of all appeared to be the critical headlines that emerged in its wake. One such example is a recent report from Variety claiming that even with the film's $61 million global debut, "profitability remains a ways away." The outlet reiterated the statement in an X/Twitter post that has since gone viral after garnering backlash from social media users quizzing the overly critical take. Among them was actor-director Ben Stiller.

Stiller shared the scathing statement from Variety regarding the box office performance of the supernatural thriller starring Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld, and hit back in a post that has since received over 331K likes (seen below): "In what universe does a 60 million dollar opening for an original studio movie warrant this headline?" A lot...

Warner Bros.’ Sinners has exceeded early expectations with a four-day Easter weekend total nearing $55 million, driven by audience response and an unusually broad campaign strategy. The film, directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan in dual roles, was originally projected to open in the mid-$30 million range, with tracking remaining modest until just before release.

The first trailer, released in September, generated limited attention, prompting industry speculation about the risks tied to a $90 million production. The trailer leaned on its premise—Jordan portraying twin brothers—and its horror setting, without revealing the film’s full direction. Later marketing materials withheld key story elements, such as the supernatural component, until a second trailer arrived during NFL playoff coverage in January. That reveal was timed to reach a wide audience, with more than 50 million viewers watching the AFC Championship.

Coogler’s approach to promotion included highlighting the use of IMAX cameras,...

Seriously, stop reading this right now if you haven't watched "Through the Valley," the second episode of season 2 of "The Last of Us." Spoilers lie ahead. You've been warned!

Anyone who watched "Through the Valley," the landmark episode of "The Last of Us" — HBO's adaptation of Naughty Dog's universally acclaimed game series — is likely still reeling from the major event that happens at the end of the installment. Just like in the 2020 video game sequel "The Last of Us Part II," Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), whose father was a victim of Joel's (Pedro Pascal) murderous rampage through a rebel Firefly hospital at the end of the show's first season, brutally murders the man she's been hunting for years.

Entertainment Weekly's Nick Romano spent time on set while this episode was being made, and when he spoke to showrunner Craig Mazin, who helms the series with Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann,...

It's somewhat rare for a horror movie to be treated like a must-see cinematic event on the level of an "Avengers" film. We're talking about the likes of 2017's "It" and Jordan Peele's "Us," i.e. the biggest of big that the genre has to offer. Ryan Coogler, the filmmaker behind "Black Panther" and "Creed," has now managed to position his new vampire movie "Sinners" as one of these blockbuster-level cinematic events, and with good reason. Indeed, "Sinners" is one of the most acclaimed films of 2025 overall thus far.

Given the sheer impact that "Sinners" has had, particularly after its blockbuster box office debut, it perhaps seems fitting that the king of the modern blockbuster, Christopher Nolan, was given a "special thanks" shout-out in the movie's credits. But why, exactly, did Coogler thank the "Dark Knight" and "Oppenheimer" director? That's a good question. Put simply, Nolan helped Coogler get...

Maybe it’s because it was Easter weekend or perhaps people are on edge that Pope Francis died the day after a bunch of people went to see a movie called “Sinners” on a holy holiday, but Ryan Coogler’s original horror film can’t quite catch a break, at least in some spaces.

After staring down weeks of headlines that his movie — a genre-bending period horror film being released in April (not typically viewed as the place for a box office bonanza) and not based on existing IP (what a concept!) — was risky for both Coogler as a director and Warner Bros. as a studio, we seemingly can’t go a day without someone putting an asterisk on its success.

Online critics of the box office coverage of “Sinners” implied that the media was spinning its opening weekend take in unfair ways. On X (formerly Twitter), Ben Stiller was...

Put your flamethrower down if you haven't watched "Through the Valley," the latest episode to date of "The Last of Us." Spoilers incoming!

Something really big happened on "Through the Valley," the second episode of the sophomore season of HBO's massively popular series "The Last of Us" (based on the video game of the same name by Naughty Dog). I'm actually not talking about Joel Miller, the show's ostensible hero and one of the Internet's favorite dads played by Pedro Pascal, getting his head bashed in by Abby (Kaitlyn Dever). I'm talking about the assault on the survivor's stronghold in Jackson, Wyoming, where a huge, disgusting army of infected cordyceps zombies storms the town's ramparts.

Notably, this sequence is not in the video game, which does make sense. At this point in the game, the story focuses entirely on Joel's death, Abby's vengeance, and Ellie's (Bella Ramsey in the series) promise of retribution.
