Robert Pattinson addressed Chris Hansen's public criticism of the film "Primetime" at a Venice Film Festival press conference, offering praise for the man whose life story Hansen says Hollywood got wrong. Pattinson, 40, who plays Hansen in the fictionalized drama about NBC's "To Catch a Predator," fielded questions Saturday about the real Hansen's vocal opposition to the project. His answer was diplomatic but pointed: the former Dateline host's on-screen presence is the reason the show still commands attention two decades later, and that, Pattinson suggested, amounts to a kind of tribute. USA TODAY reported that Pattinson told the press conference he hoped Hansen would come around to the finished product. The actor's opening line was…Open

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" shattered the all-time domestic opening weekend record with a $360 million debut, proving that Americans will still pack movie theaters when Hollywood gives them a reason to show up. The fourth Tom Holland-led installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man franchise topped "Avengers: Endgame," which held the previous record at $357 million since 2019. Globally, "Brand New Day" pulled in $932 million in its first weekend, a staggering haul that, combined with Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" earning $51 million in the same frame, produced what NBC News reported as the biggest overall box office weekend in history. The numbers landed well above what most forecasters expected. Sony Pictures had…Open
Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are projecting a massive opening weekend for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with some analysts forecasting a domestic debut north of $260 million, a figure that would place the film among the highest-grossing launches in Hollywood history.

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are projecting a massive opening weekend for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with some analysts forecasting a domestic debut north of $260 million, a figure that would place the film among the highest-grossing launches in Hollywood history. The Tom Holland-led sequel is set to open across 4,300 North American theaters, and the numbers already look staggering. Sony's own estimate pegs the domestic opening at $195 million, with $270 million from international markets for a combined global debut of $465 million. But that studio figure may prove conservative. Most independent analysts project a domestic opening between $260 million and $280 million, with some tracking as high as $300 million. If the higher…Open
Disney poured a reported $250 million into its live-action "Moana" remake, and the return so far is not encouraging. The film opened at No. 1 domestically over the weekend of July 11, 13 with an estimated $43 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales, a figure that, for a quarter-billion-dollar production anchored by Dwayne Johnson, […] The post Disney's live-action 'Moana' remake lands at No. 1 but delivers a weak $43 million opening appeared first on American Almanac .
Disney poured a reported $250 million into its live-action "Moana" remake, and the return so far is not encouraging. The film opened at No. 1 domestically over the weekend of July 11, 13 with an estimated $43 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales, a figure that, for a quarter-billion-dollar production anchored by Dwayne Johnson, lands well below the kind of blockbuster territory the studio needed. Add in $52 million from 50 international markets and the global opening weekend comes to $95 million. That sounds like a lot of money until you measure it against what Disney spent to make the picture, and what the animated franchise pulled in not long ago. The animated sequel "Moana 2" opened to $225 million domestically over Thanksgiving…Open
The first reviews for the exorbitant $75 million project are in, and critics didn't hold back.
AI:Despite the massive $75 million budget and a strong box office opening, the Melania Trump documentary has faced immediate backlash from mainstream critics, landing a devastating 6% score on Rotten Tomatoes with reviewers describing the experience as "pure, endless hell." This wave of professional negativity follows a pattern of leftist media attempts to disparage the film, ranging from mocking memes to scathing critiques from figures like Chelsea Handler. While the project aims to provide a historical look at her time in the White House, the establishment critical establishment has responded with predictable vitriol, attempting to undermine what is otherwise becoming one of the most significant and high-performing documentary releases in…Open
