The majority of TIFF’s lineup won’t be announced until August. I’m being told that they are going to keep doing these one-film world premiere announcements for the time being. Madness!

Michael Mann is currently shooting his “Ferrari” movie in Italy. We weren’t entirely sure about the plot, but Mann has finally revealed the deets to The Film Stage:

The fourth “Thor” movie had a 68% drop in its second weekend, accumulating around $46.5M.

There had been these persistent rumours that Steven Spielberg’s “The Fablemans” would go to the New York Film Festival for around a month now. I brushed them off, waiting for more credible sources to chime in.

Variety‘s Elizabeth Wagmeister and Sasha Urban are reporting that Armie Hammer is now working at a hotel resort in the Cayman Islands, in a cubicle and reportedly specializing in selling timeshares.

I already weighed in on Joe and Anthony Russo’s “The Gray Man,” which makes their last movie (“Cherry”) look like “Citizen Kane” in comparison.

Maria Schrader’s “She Said” just released its trailer and … TV movie vibes? I’m sure it’s better than that, but it all feels rather familiar, at least the way the trailer delivers the drama.

David Gordon Green’s “Halloween Ends,” the final chapter of the rebooted Michael Myers trilogy, screened in New Jersey on Tuesday evening. Here’s a reaction:
