New dates:

Dragged Across Concrete 3/22/2019 (likely won't report box office)
Wicked 12/22/21

And Warner Bros. has announced a follow-up to Aquaman. But rather than a sequel, it will be a horror film called The Trench. I'm wondering if this is going to be the Black Manta movie that was hinted at the end.

This must be the year of films about actresses who died tragically young. Amazon has picked up Against All Enemies, a drama with Kristen Stewart as Jean Seberg.

New dates:

Pavarotti 6/7/2019
Coming to America 2 8/7/2020

And All You Need is Love is now titled Yesterday. It's still at the crowded 6/28/2019 date (it would be funny if once New Line completes the Blinded by the Light deal, they scheduled it here and started a Beatles vs. The Boss battle).

Coming to America 2????

Seriously? What's it been, 30 years? Is Eddie going to play everybody?

Paramount and Eddie have been talking about it for a while, especially since the original has developed a new appreciation in recent years.

My only wish is the return of Randy Watson.

Netflix has picked up The Red Sea Diving Resort, continuing their trend of picking up leftovers from other labels.

In other news, MGM has announced plans for a franchise based on the American Girl doll line. They better hope this fares better than New Line's attempt a decade ago.

Just looked up The Souvenir. Why is it two films exactly and how did it get funding for two releases? It’s not money and it doesn’t seem like something you’d do for awards. I’m not being sarcastic or anything, I just figure there’s some backstory there.
Tenet: Criterion Edition. Now with more Backwards Man.

The first was independently financed, A24 will finance the second as part of the first's distribution deal.

I'm not sure why it's two films. I'm thinking it's like The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby in which the same story is told from two sides.

Margie Claus has lost its date. It looks like it never began filming due to McCarthy's schedule.
