The Warner Bros. animated film “Tom and Jerry” shocked the industry this weekend by making $13.7 million at the domestic box office. The biggest three-day opening for a movie since theaters partially reopened across the country last summer. No other film this weekend came close to “Tom and Jerry” totals. “The Croods: A New Age” came in at second place with a paltry $1.2 million., “The Little Things” nabbed $925,000, and “Wonder Woman 1984” pulled in $710,000 for fourth place.

Even with its value to awards season decreasing every year (and rightly so), and with the (not so) shocking allegations hanging over HFPA members, they may have been wise to let the globes rest for a year. However, here we are. So, let’s see who the virtual winners on Sunday night might be…

Read more‘Luca': Lower Those Expectations For Pixar's 24th Feature [Trailer]
Judging by the just-dropped teaser trailer for “Luca,” the directorial feature debut of Enrico Casarosa will probably reside in the lower-tier Pixar class of films. You know, the more conventional stuff, devoid of the inventive and risky storytelling of such classics as “WALL-E,” “Inside Out” and “Up!”. Which not to say that every Pixar film that belong in the lower-tier category is bad — there are good traits to be found in “Monsters University,” Cars,” “Brave” and others.

Read more‘The Killer’: David Fincher Set to Direct Netflix Thriller
David Fincher is a world-class filmmaker and has had a hot streak of films going between 1995 and 2014 (“Seven,” “The Game,” “Fight Club,” “Panic Room,” “Zodiac,” “The Social Network,” “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” “Gone Girl.”) The only time I felt disappointed by a film of his during that timespan was 2008’s ”The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”

Four years in the making, here’s the most essential Notorious B.I.G documentary that exists right now and it hasn’t even been released yet. Netflix unveiled the trailer for “Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell” last night, it’ll be available to stream on March 1st, , but I managed to get a sneak peek.
Read moreParanormal Activity Should Look to Aim Series With a Bang
The Paranormal Activity franchise has been one of the most successful horror series of all time. Since the release of Oren Peli’s popular original in 2007, there have been five other installments. Overall, these have made $890 million worldwide, which is an impressive return for the genre. However, the quality of the movies has been hit or miss. The sixth installment was supposed to be the last but, because of the negative reviews, Paramount Pictures opted to attempt to end the series on a high note with a seventh offering.

I had seen an early version of Nicolas Jarecki‘s Crisis (Quiver, 2.26) back in early 2020. Its original title at the time went by “Dreamland.” Production on the film had wrapped up in early 2019, but I’m not too sure what happened in the ensuing two years after that.
