Halloween must be gone, but people always enjoy a good horror on the big screen. Thus, Nosferatu is having a good time at the US box office. The film has surpassed two of the most popular horror flicks of 2024, Smile 2 and Longlegs. Scroll below for the deets.

Parker Finn directed Smile 2 debuted in the US with $23 million, which was higher than the original Smile’s debut of $22.6 million in 2022. However, the sequel earned less than the first film in its lifetime. Meanwhile, Longlegs by Osgood Perkins became the highest-grossing independent film of 2024. It was also the second highest-grossing R-rated horror released in 2024. The movie collected $74.34 million in North America, which has now been surpassed by the vampire movie.

Now, according to Luiz Fernando’s report, Nosferatu by Robert Eggers has surpassed Smile 2 and Longlegs at the US...

A Complete Unknown North America Box Office: Beats All Eyez On Me ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Bob Dylan has beaten Tupac at the US box office! That is, Timothee Chalamet starrer A Complete Unknown has surpassed the late rapper’s biopic All Eyez On Me as one of the top 15 highest-grossing musical biopics of all time. Timothee Chalamet did a commendable job in the lead role, and the movie received multiple accolades, including nominations at the Golden Globes 2025. Scroll below for the deets.

All Eyez on Me was directed by Benny Boom, and it came out in 2017. The film stars Demetrius Shipp Jr. as Tupac, with Kat Graham, Lauren Cohan, Hill Harper, and Danai Gurira. Jamal Woolard reprises his role as Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace / The Notorious B.I.G. from Notorious. The biopic was based on the life and death of the rapper. The movie collected $44.92 million domestically and $10.74 million overseas.

At the beginning of Shawn Levy's "Deadpool & Wolverine," Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) is informed that, thanks to a strange whim of cosmic fate, his entire timeline is unraveling. He is told that Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) was a being of reality-shaping significance called an "anchor being," and when he died, his entire reality will begin to dissipate. Deadpool, distressed by this news, steals a reality-jumping widget and -- in an amusing montage -- cycles through many, many alternate universes, looking for a parallel Wolverine that would serve as an adequate replacement. 

Most of the Wolverines are played by Hugh Jackman, albeit with very different personalities. One Wolverine is viciously animalistic and sports a wild mane of hair. Another is a comic-accurate three feet tall. In a bleak universe, Wolverine has been crucified on an "X" amid a field of bloody skulls. One of the Wolverines is played by celebrity guest...

The damsel in distress narrative device is a foundational storytelling element for the majority of people. Fairytales tell of princesses in peril and video games hide princesses in another castle. These women are treated as prizes to be won, a congratulatory gift to the men who saved these supposedly weak and helpless ladies who would have certainly perished without a man's intervention. Damsel in distress tropes date back to the ancient Greeks but the misogynistic belief that women are fragile creatures who need men to protect them is unfortunately still an intrinsically held value system for a shocking number of people. It's the grandmother of tropes like "fridging" as seen in media and literature, or more insidiously, "missing white woman syndrome" in real-life situations of women in harm's way.

Fortunately, plenty of alternative damsel characters exist to switch up the narrative. Megara in Disney's "Hercules" flipped the typical animated princess...

“The Devil Wears Prada” cast members Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt reunited at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards to present best actor in a comedy series. Blunt was also a nominee at the award ceremony for supporting actress thanks to her role in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.”

Streep took to the stage first alone and told the crowd that she had forgotten her glasses and the envelope with this year’s winner listed. Hathaway and Blunt then appeared to hand Streep her missing items, a nod to their roles as assistants to Miranda Priestly (Streep) in “The Devil Wears Prada.”

“Meryl and Miranda Priestly are sort of like twins,” Blunt said, to which Streep fiercely disagreed.

“No no. That wasn’t a question,” Hathaway told Streep in a nod to one of Miranda’s most icy lines of dialogue in the film.

Blunt also quoted Miranda by telling...

Drew Barrymore is a child of Hollywood royalty and a Golden Globe winning actress whose career has spanned nearly her entire life, making her first credited screen performance at the age of three. But how many of her titles remain classics? Let’s take a look back at 15 of her greatest films, ranked worst to best.

Barrymore was born to a celebrated acting family though she never really knew her famous ancestors. Her grandfather was John Barrymore, star of “Grand Hotel”, “Twentieth Century” and “Dinner at Eight” among others. She is also the great grand niece of Oscar winners Lionel Barrymore and Ethel Barrymore. Lionel won one of the earliest Oscars as Best Actor for “A Free Soul” in 1931 but is probably best remembered as the villainous Mr. Potter of the Christmas classic “It’s a Wonderful Life.” His sister Ethel won the 1945 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for “None but the Lonely Heart...

It's been a few months since Netflix has given us any updates on "Damsel," the upcoming fantasy thriller starring Millie Bobby Brown, but today we've finally been gifted a new look at the film and, of course, that dragon. The first trailer kept things mum, with Mbb staying completely silent throughout, emphasizing the action, spectacle, and gorgeous costuming. Netflix first presented the film with the tagline "This is Not a fairy tale," and today's new trailer looks like "Damsel" will be subverting all the typical tropes we associate with tales of princesses and larger-than-life beasts. Here's the official synopsis from Netflix:

"A dutiful damsel agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt. Thrown into a cave with a fire-breathing dragon, she must rely on her wits and will to survive."

Ah, yes. The ol' "tossing...

A quarter century ago, Hollywood remade the Cinderella story as it often does. Only this time, the fairytale was without fairies or any inkling of magic beyond the mystery of love. And Leonardo da Vinci, of course, for he's something of a wizard figure in the restyled narrative in which Perrault's classic tale is reworked through the Grimms' imagination and 1990s 'girl power' impetus. Da Vinci is also the movie's Achilles Heel, a miscalculation by the writing team of director Andy Tennant, Susannah Grant, and Rick Parks. Not that the misfortune wrecks the picture – Ever After is too charming for that.

Indeed, the Drew Barrymore vehicle remains an entertaining period rom-com all these years after its release, its strengths only glowing brighter in retrospect. How can one resist Jenny Beavan's costume designs, George Fenton's impassioned score, Anjelica Huston's sharp spin on the evil stepmother archetype,...

On Tuesday, the talk-show host reunited with costars Melanie Lynskey and Megan Dodds on "The Drew Barrymore Show," and the trio relived some of their fondest memories from making the movie. "We're just here in a time machine, and we're back 25 years ago," Barrymore said. "I literally can't even believe that I get to be here with my sisters - my stepsisters." Lynskey and Dodds were both dressed in their evil-stepsister costumes, while Barrymore wore a fairy costume similar to the one she wore in the 1998 movie.

A take on the collapse of civilisation that goes to very different places from those we are used to, Carolina Hellsgård’s Ever After (titled Endzeit in the original German) is a dazzlingly beautiful affair. It follows two young women, Vivi (Gro Swantje Kolhof) and Eva (Maja Lehrer) as they try to cross the zombie-infested land between Germany’s last two human-occupied cities. What makes it more unusual – and made me sit up and take notice despite the fact that I’m offered zombie films on a weekly basis – is that it’s made entirely by women. I asked Carolina how this came about.

What do you do when the future holds nothing but just attempting the most basic survival? When your world has shrunk to a handful of strangers, none of whom have much hope that life will be improving in anyone's lifetime? And your memories consist of nothing but one terrible mistake? Would you make the most of the situation, or dare to do something drastic, even if it might cost you your life? Director Carolina Hellsgård and writer Olivia Vieweg explore these philosophical questions in Ever After. Using a viral outbreak and the collapse of civilization as a starting point, the story take these concerns about how we should live out our final days into a dangerous wilderness and its affect on two very different women....
