Wait, what happened? Predictions had "Practical Magic 2" finishing in the $40M opening range after strong $4.7M Thursday previews and robust presales. Now it's struggling, and might not even hit $30M.

Netflix has finally decided to stop teasing us with cryptic teasers and has given us an actual trailer for “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth,” David Fincher's Quentin Tarantino-scripted 'Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood' sequel.

To say it blew the roof off the place would be an understatement. I don't think I've ever seen a Toronto audience — any festival audience — embrace a movie the way they did last night.

Marvel killed “Blade,” so now here are Ali and Bassam Tariq with a small, strange, hand-made thriller in which Ali is a blade-carrying assassin. Nobody involved is pretending the timing is an accident.

Earlier this year, Zack Snyder mentioned having seen James Gunn’s “Superman.” Heaping praise on it. Now he’s saying he actually hasn’t caught up with it yet?

The short version: "Woman Unknown" was a compromise. The jury deadlocked over "Possible Love" and "NAZA," not able to com to terms, fell back on their #3, May el-Toukhy's film.

Cory Finley, a talented filmmaker, has directed three films so far: "Thoroughbreds" (2017), "Bad Education” (2020), and "Landscape with Invisible Hand.”

Bassim Tariq was the first one in the chair. The "Mogul Mowgli" director spent two years building out the Mahershala Ali vehicle before exiting in 2022, and he's now letting the air out on this one.

Claire Danes, Rachel McAdams, Dermot Mulroney, Craig T. Nelson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson, Tyrone Giordano, Elizabeth Reaser, Paul Schneider, and Brian White will all be back.

I was curious how Cristian Mungiu's "Fjord" would be received this fall. The Palme d'Or winner has become a culture-war flashpoint, and critics are more split on it than you might expect.

Oh, Sebastian Stan … he tells Variety that walking onto the set of "The Batman: Part II" gives him the feeling that he might be making "The Godfather: Part II." His exact words.

The mystery behind ‘Onania Club’ continues. Only a handful of people have seen it. Among the few who got access was John Waters, who named it one of the best films of the year.

The timing is interesting. The settlement talks will occur nearly a month after the $7 million-per-day ticking fee start tabulating, which puts real pressure on Paramount to get this done.

Adam Wingard confirms that after the last "Godzilla" movie, he and Legendary were deep into a third one — he'd already started filling the script with Easter eggs teasing another return. And then he bailed.

“The Fix” might have set a record for the number of production credits: 46 producers are listed! Yeah, maybe that is a record. It’ll take half the end credits to name them all.

Quiver, a tiny specialty distributor that makes even Vertical and Briarcliffe look behemoth, has picked up U.S. distribution of the long-delayed film from fellow micro-indie Blue Fox.

If you remember, back in June, Lily told IndieWire, that, despite strong efforts, none of these projects have been able to get a greenlit because “fascism” is currently thriving.

Whatever plans there were for "Wonder Woman" to go into pre-production, with a 2027 shoot in mind, have been scrapped. Gunn and Safran will be taking their time with this project.

Warner Bros' "Practical Magic 2" is off to a solid start, pulling an estimated $4M in Thursday previews after showtimes kicked off at 2 p.m.
