That’s fairly impressive, if true, considering Shyamalan’s track record includes major box-office hits like “The Sixth Sense” and “Signs.” Then again, test reactions don’t always equate to mainstream success

Last week, I mentioned how Brad Bird’s “Ray Gunn” is probably the most anticipated animated film of 2026. Here’s the runner-up.

There’s only a handful of films premiering this fall that seem loaded with potential. I’m thinking Alejandro Iñárritu’s “Digger,” David Fincher’s ‘Cliff Booth,’ Joel Coen’s “Jack of Spades” and this one …

This revelation will no doubt send detractors into overdrive, especially because speculation about Nyong’o’s role has been swirling for more than a year.

“Masters of the Universe” pre-sales are not good. A $25M for opening weekend is the current estimate. That figure is obviously weak considering the film carries a whopping production budget of $200M.

Frémaux maintains that Cannes does not deliberately exclude women, arguing instead that “films are chosen for their quality, not the gender of their directors.”
