A total shocker this evening. After much deliberation, Warner Bros has decided to delay “Dune: Part Two” to March 15th, 2024. That’s not even a set up for a Cannes premiere. They’re just releasing in early Spring.

A trailer has been released for Susanna Fogel’s “Cat Person.” This one will hopefully have enough reach this fall to stir up debate amongst movie audiences.

On Wednesday — its 34th day in release — Greta Gerwig’s ”Barbie” passed “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” as the high-grossing domestic box office release of 2023.

A THR interview with Michael Mann states that his upcoming “Ferrari” has a budget of $110 million — that’s $20 million more than originally reported.

Rumored to have been rejected by Cannes earlier this year, Betrand Bonello’s sci-fi film “The Beast” has had some strong word of mouth these past weeks, with even some hinting at a possible Golden Lion win at a Venice.

Sam Levinson is coming off his highly polarizing, and much-hated, HBO series “The Idol.” However, he’s a household name because of “Euphoria,” a TV sensation with cinematic elements to it.
