Last Week A24 had their first number one opener with Alex Garland's Civil War, which opened to about 26 m. This is a pretty impressive number, especially considering reactions to the marketing campaign didn't seem particularly positive. That being said, I expect WOM to be very mixed, and a total of...

I just wanted to let everyone know that I probably won't have the column up until very late tonight - I have had a long week and haven't had much time to myself. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Last Week After a very strong (at least in comparison to the last few months) March, things seem to be slowing down significantly in April. Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, after shocking everyone with a 80 m opening, took the typical harsh fall that MonsterVerse films tend to do, though it could h...

Trailers before Kung Fu Panda 4 3D - The Garfield Movie Unsung Hero (The trailer for this is really odd - not sure why you would use another band's song in a trailer for a musical biopic.)

The reason I think Neon is acquiring so much horror as of late has to do with the success past independent distributors have had with the genre. I'm not sure how much success they will have with horror (they have released a few horror films in the past, and - unless you count Parasite as a horror fi...

That being said, even with the success of The Favourite and Poor Things I'm not sure Yorgos Lanthimos is a Wes Anderson-level draw, and (if it is ope...
