Blitz earned largely positive albeit not overly glowing reviews following its premiere in London today. While it probably won't be a big awards player, it should be in the mix for noms in Best Picture and the technical categories (particularly cinematography, sound and production design).

In a move that likely won't come as much of a surprise to anyone, Christopher Nolan will be returning to Universal for his next movie. The mystery project has been dated for July 17, 2026 and Matt Damon is currently being eyed to play the lead role.

Neon will be distributing and producing Boots Riley's sophomore feature I Love Boosters. Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, LaKeith Stanfield and Demi Moore are set to star. Cameras start rolling later this fall with a 2025 release being eyed.

Sony Classics has picked up On Swift Horses for release in North America, Latin America, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Italy, India, Australia and New Zealand

Joker: Folie a Deux: D (is this the worst score ever for a comic book adaptation?)

Yes, it is. It's also the worst of this year and possibly even the lowest recorded score since The Turning notched an F in January 2020. This shit might drop 80% next weekend.

I just got out of Joker. WOM is likely to be very, very bad IMO. I could see a CinemaScore below C- happening. As for my opinion, I thought it had an interesting concept, but the execution is extremely flawed, and feels very hollow - I feel like it could have been better if someone else besides Tod...

Blink is opening in 148 theaters while White Bird has the honor of being Lionsgate's most shameless dump job of the year with a 1,016-theater opening. As for Joker, the WOM is indeed going to be horrendous. Based on some of the reactions from non-critics I've read since it first screened on Monday, ...
