“Hope,” Na’s first film in ten years — his last one being the exemplary “The Wailing” —is a gloriously messy, blood-soaked sci-fi epic that may become a cult classic despite—or because of—its polarizing nature.
The David Corenswet-starring "Mr. Irrelevant” is coming off strong test screenings that led Paramount to position Jonathan Levine's sports biopic for a Christmas Day wide release.
Before practically going bankrupt, Row K had planned to release "Cliffhanger" in August 2026 on more than 3000 screens nationwide — hopefully with Vertical it hits as many theaters.
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.
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.
From The Telegraph’s ultra-generous film Critics Tim Robert:
“Most persistent rumours around the Croisette: Cronenberg's CRIMES OF THE FUTURE is way less shocking than Ali Abbasi's HOLY SPIDER, Östlund's TRIANGLE OF SADNESS is a bust, and Lukas Dhont's CLOSE is an emotional wipeout that's going to win the Palme d'Or.”
Response from “Hanimal”:
“CLOSE is indeed an emotional wipeout but not the Palme d’Or material. Best actor or Jury prize very likely.”
Paul Greengrass’ "The Uprising," starring Andrew Garfield, opened to $3.2M from 2,068 theaters this weekend. Yikes. The budget hasn’t been disclosed, but is said to be in the $20-$30M range.
