Meanwhile, Laika's stop-motion fantasy "Wildwood" held at #3 with $7.5M in its second weekend, a respectable 39% drop. The well-reviewed film has earned $25M domestic and $35M globally so far.
Mann, 83, was rushed to a hospital after accidentally shooting himself in the leg at The Range LA, an indoor shooting facility in Los Angeles.
Coppola lost more than $100M on "Megalopolis," got hammered for it, and he knows the clock is running out for one more film. If "Glimpses of the Moon" is that film, someone needs to write the check soon.
Firing back at critics is nothing new, but calling an entire profession “failed artists” who belong "in the bin" is hilarious, and wildly unhinged.
This year’s 12th edition of the Scary Movies festival at Film at Lincoln Center premiered Ari Aster’s extended version of “Midsommar” this past Saturday.

"Good God, next thing you know Disney's CEO's will be candidates for the American Presidency. The monopolization of Disney is ridiculous. They will take over cinema and diminish the quality of movies, as if they haven't done that already, and they will most likely have no other competitor left. That's my doomsday scenario for you on this lovely afternoon. Read it and weep."
It’s now been 13 years since "The Grandmaster,” and it doesn’t sound like Wong Kar-wai will be making another film in the near future. His future seems to be on the small screen.
