Rabbits and foxes and snakes, oh my! “Zootopia 2” is officially the highest-grossing Hollywood release of the year. Disney’s animal-packed animated sequel has earned a staggering $1.13 billion globally after 20 days of release, overtaking the haul of Disney’s live-action “Lilo & Stitch” remake with $1.03 billion. A non-Motion Picture Association (MPA) film, China’s animated blockbuster “Ne Zha 2,” remains 2025’s biggest release with $1.9 billion.

Another Disney juggernaut, James Cameron’s epic “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” could contend for the 2025 crown — considering its predecessors were $2 billion-grossing sensations. However, the threequel opens on Dec. 19 and will likely earn the majority of its money in the following calendar year.

On Friday, “Zootopia 2” surpassed the $1 billion mark after 17 days in theaters, the quickest PG film to achieve the milestone. The sequel stands as the seventh-biggest animated film in history, outpacing the original 2016’s “Zootopia” ($1.025 billion globally) and last year’s “Moana 2” ($1.06 billion).

Leading film sales agency Beta Cinema has announced that Moritz Hemminger has joined the company as head of sales and acquisitions. Alongside his acquisitions responsibilities, Hemminger will oversee sales across Spain, Australia and all Asian markets.

Tassilo Hallbauer, previously head of sales and acquisitions, has been promoted to executive VP sales, acquisitions and international co-productions. Based in London, he will lead the acquisitions and development of English-language feature films – a sector into which Beta Cinema has been strategically expanding in recent years.

Over the past four and a half years, Hemminger played a pivotal role in launching The Playmaker, where he served as head of sales and acquisitions and helped shape the company’s identity. More recently, he has championed an array of horror, thriller and sci-fi projects, establishing himself as a passionate advocate for bold, genre-driven storytelling.

Before launching Playmaker, Hemminger spent nine years at Arri, collaborating with renowned directors including Caroline Link,...

Matthew Labyorteaux played Albert Quinn Ingalls on "Little House on the Prairie" from 1978 to 1983, after which he appeared in one of the continuation TV movies. But the fate of his character remains somewhat of a mystery. Similarly, many fans of the show might be wondering what happened to Labyorteaux himself. Luckily, the actor has been working fairly consistently since "Little House on the Prairie" went off the air.

The series remains one of the best Western TV shows ever made, even if it is one of those hit '70s series that audiences don't quite remember today. Labyorteaux joined during the fifth season as the adopted son of Charles (Michael Landon...

If there's one constant involved in franchise filmmaking, it's that every sequel that gets made leaves behind at least one alluringly alternate iteration. After all, who wouldn't be curious what "Alien 3" would've looked like had William Gibson written it, and hey, what if Quentin Tarantino actually had made a "Star Trek" film? While these can be fun fantasies and thought exercises, ultimately one needs to adopt an "everything happens for a reason" mentality regarding unmade sequels in order to not get too heated. Still, there's no stopping one's mind from reeling with visions of what might have been, especially when the combination of franchise and filmmaker is so tantalizing.

Figures from the film industry and the world of politics have expressed shock and sadness after the sudden deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner.

The couple were found dead at their house in Brentwood on Sunday afternoon, with police investigating an “apparent homicide”.

Jamie Lee Curtis, speaking on behalf of herself and husband Christopher Guest, who worked with Reiner on This Is Spinal Tap, said: “Christopher and I are numb and sad and shocked about the violent, tragic deaths of our dear friends Rob and Michele Singer Reiner and our only focus and care right...

Within 30 seconds, the director set me completely at ease and – rare for such a Hollywood heavyweight – beamed with pride when I asked about his golden streak

Rob Reiner’s face took up the whole screen. That’s my immediate memory – the video link connecting and suddenly, boom, there he was in the room. Kind eyes, jolly cheekbones, a big white beard. It was May when we met but it felt like my own personal visit from Santa.

He had a personality to match, the very definition of avuncular. “So what are you up to tonight?” he asked. “Having a nice dinner out in London?” I was completely at ease within 30 seconds.

The Age of Disclosure was granted a Capitol Hill screening and has broken digital rental records but does it really offer proof of alien life?

It has been hailed as a game changer in public attitudes towards UFOs, ending a culture of silence around claims once dismissed as the preserve of conspiracy theorists and crackpots.

The Age of Disclosure has been boosted in its effort to shift the conversation about extraterrestrials from the fringe to the mainstream with a Capitol Hill screening and considerable commercial success. It broke the record for highest-grossing documentary on Amazon’s Prime Video within 48 hours of its release, Deadline reported this week.

Grab your red balloons and get ready to float, because this article contains major spoilers for the season finale of "It: Welcome to Derry."

Who could've predicted that one of the more fascinating shows of 2025 would end up being a prequel to the "It" movies released more than six years after the fact? Despite the films seemingly putting a bow on author Stephen King's most well-known story, the HBO series has proven that there's plenty of interest to go around when it comes to the killer clown pulled out of our collective nightmares. Never mind that star Bill Skarsgård didn't even appear in the flesh until late in the...

Alauda Ruiz de Azua’s “Sundays” (“Los Domingos”), the winner of the San Sebastián Film Festival’s Golden Shell for best film, has been sold to half the major movie markets in the world by Paris-based Le Pacte.

The first phase roll out for Le Pacte underscores the sales punch of a select number of breakout dramas from exciting talent scoring big prizes at big fests.

“Los Domingos” scored best film and actress (Patricia López Arnaiz) at Spain’s Forqué Awards this Saturday, making it favourite for the Spanish Academy Goya Awards in February. “Sundays” now ranks in Film Affinity España’s list as one of the best Top 10 Spanish films ever made.

Written and directed by Ruiz de Azúa, the Movistar Plus+ co-produced “Sundays” marks the second feature from Basque Ruíz de Azúa who has emerged in a spectacular fashion in just five years as a major voice in Spanish film and TV.

The latest in our series of writers explaining their comfort watches is a celebration of 2021’s acclaimed animated adventure

Animation is a great way of allowing you to experience the world through the eyes of another, complete with the colour, energy, imagination and chaos that this can bring. It’s true whether you’re looking at the world from the perspective of a frustrated and talented teenage girl, or from that of a megalomaniacal rogue AI who dreams of blasting every human on Earth into space in tiny hexagonal pods (with free wifi!).

The storytelling is brittle, but there is still enjoyment to be had from this story of a mother and child and rescue from a catastrophic flood in Seoul

Kim Byung-woo’s chimeric but not unenjoyable sixth feature begins like a normal apocalypse movie, with a deluge inundating Seoul. Then it flirts with taking on social stratification baggage as a beleaguered mother tries to climb up her 30-storey apartment block to escape the rising flood waters. But once it is revealed that An-na (Kim Da-mi) is a second-ranking science officer for an indispensable research project, the film becomes a different beast entirely – possibly something quite insidious.

As the film gats under way,...

We remember the key films of the great Hollywood director, who has died, alongside his wife

It is extraordinarily rare for a director to change the entire direction of comedy with their first feature, but that’s exactly what Rob Reiner did with this legendary mockumentary. Following a disastrous American tour by a witless British rock group, This Is Spın̈al Tap manages to nail so many music industry cliches so perfectly that the film quickly became a mainstay of tour buses around the world. Reiner himself got in on the act, playing the blowhard documentary director Marty Di Bergi. The fact that something entirely improvised could create so many...

Timothée Chalamet’s live-wire striver using ping pong as his ticket out of normie American life is just one of many wonders in this extraordinarily rich tale

• The best films of 2025 in the UK

• More on the best culture of 2025

When reports started to emerge that Timothée Chalamet was going to play a ping pong champion in a film called Marty Supreme, the world (including this correspondent) rolled its eyes. Was Hollywood’s most annoying actor going to go for broke in what promised to be the most irritating film of all time? Well I am here to hold up my hand and say that first impressions couldn’t have been more wrong.

It’s a sad day in Hollywood — an unthinkable, upsetting and all-around shocking day — when filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele could have been stabbed to death in their own home, allegedly by someone so close.

The particulars are hazy, the initial reports nearly impossible to wrap one’s head around. It’s clear that in the days ahead, the scandal will likely overshadow the career of one of the industry’s most beloved directors, a man widely admired for his work, his activism and his contagiously optimistic spirit. In the “100 Best Comedy Movies of All Time” list recently published by Variety, Reiner was responsible for no fewer than three of the entries.

I’m not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that among American studio talents, I consider Rob Reiner the best director never to have been nominated for best director. Just look at his credits. The...

Hollywood filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner have been found dead in their Los Angeles home, according to reports in the US media.

The LAPD was called to the couple’s house in Brentwood on Sunday afternoon and is investigating the incident as an “apparent homicide”.

A source told NBC that the couple died of stab wounds.

LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton said at a news conference: “We are not looking for anyone as a suspect or in any other manner at this time,” adding that no one had yet been detained “as a suspect.

Fans are mourning actor and director Rob Reiner, who was found dead Sunday with his wife.

Reiner made his mark as an actor on “All in the Family,” probing the generation gap of the late 1960s with his role as liberal hippie Michael “Meathead” Stivic opposite Carroll O’Connor’s blue-collar conservative Archie Bunker. Reiner then went on to direct such beloved 1980s and ’90s films as “This Is Spinal Tap” (1984) “Stand By Me” (1986), “The Princess Bride” (1987) and “When Harry Met Sally” (1989) and dramas “Misery” (1990) and “A Few Good Men” (1992).

The seasoned Hollywood insider was active in state and national politics. He leveraged his celebrity status to advocate for universal preschool programs that became California’s First Five Initiative, and against Proposition 8, the state ballot initiative that sought to ban same sex marriage.

Rob Reiner, the prolific multi-hyphenate filmmaker and actor (and son of fellow filmmaker Carl Reiner), has died at the age of 78. The news was first reported by TMZ and Variety. Reiner’s second wife, Michele Singer, has also died. On late Sunday afternoon, NBC 4 Los Angeles was the first to report that two bodies had been discovered at the couple’s Brentwood, California home. NBC also reports that LAPD Robbery Homicide Division detectives have been assigned to the case. IndieWire has reached out to Reiner’s representative and will update this story.

The son of Carl and Estelle Reiner, he was born in The Bronx on March 6, 1947 and spent most of his childhood in New Rochelle, NY, before moving west to Los Angeles, where he later attended UCLA for film school.

Spoilers for the "It: Welcome to Derry" season 1 finale and "It" movies to follow.

The "It: Welcome to Derry" season 1 finale ends on a note of triumph. After a string of terrifying events, Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) is forced back into hibernation by Will (Blake Cameron James) and his friends, who contain him inside Derry once again. This also means that Derry will be relatively safe for the next 27 years, giving adults like Will's father Leroy Hanlon (Jovan Adepo) and Rose (Kimberly Guerrero) time to prepare for It's next feeding cycle.

Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse as the cycle approaches in the episode's epilogue, as seen through the eyes of the now-elderly Mrs.

Rob Reiner, who transformed himself from Emmy-winning sitcom actor to the filmmaking mastermind behind a staggering number of classic films, has died at 78. The Hollywood legend was found dead from knife wounds in his Los Angeles home, alongside his wife of 36 years, Michele Singer Reiner. People reports that the killer was the couple's son, Nick Reiner, but no additional details are available at this time.

All's well that ends well, right? Our new Losers Club in "It: Welcome to Derry" has successfully vanquished their enemy and condemned him to another 27 years in hibernation. The biggest (human) villain in the story, General Shaw (James Remar), finally got what was coming to him, putting an ignominious end to what has to go down as one of the U.S. military's most foolhardy missions in history — which, it should go without saying, is a very long list. And on top of it all, the pieces have been carefully put into place elsewhere in Derry,...

Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead at their Brentwood home on Sunday in an apparent homicide, Variety has confirmed.

John Hughes' 1985 teen drama "The Breakfast Club" has long since been canonized, praised as an honest depiction of the teen experience. The five main characters all seemingly represent a different high school archetype or clique members perfectly. Bender (Judd Nelson) is the wastoid. Claire (Molly Ringwald) is the prom queen. Andrew (Emilio Estevez) is the jock. Allison (Ally Sheedy) is the recluse. And Brian (Anthony Michael Hall) is the nerd. Trapped in Saturday detention together, however, the teens get to talking, and each one reveals more texture and depth — and inner pain — than the others initially assumed.

In one notable scene, a janitor named Carl (John Kapelos) passes through the detention hall,...

Rian Johnson’s “Wake Up Dead Man,” the third film in the Daniel Craig-starring “Knives Out” murder mystery series, just arrived on Netflix on Dec. 12. However, the director already has thoughts about the next installment in the franchise. Johnson told Entertainment Weekly, “I have some basic, elemental, conceptual ideas. Like, ‘Okay, it’d be interesting if it were this kind of thing’ kernels.”

The director continued, “I don’t have actual concrete ideas. I don’t have a theme yet. I don’t have a location. It’s really pretty vague, and I feel like it’s good to kinda keep it vague until I’m ready to actually sit down and write it.”

In the meantime, Johnson hopes to direct at least one original film before returning to “Knives Out” for another story of Craig’s stately southern detective Benoit Blanc. He says that the “Knives Out” movies...

18 years before the launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with "Iron Man," Menahem Golan's 21st Century Film Corporation teamed with what was then called the Marvel Entertainment Group to make "Captain America." Golan was as ambitious as he was shameless. As the co-head of Cannon, he churned out exploitation action flicks starring Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris, financed prestige-level films like "Otello," "Runaway Train," and "Barfly," and eventually developed an appetite for blockbuster franchises.

This did not work out terribly well for him.

George Clooney is no longer interested in romance on the big screen.

During a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Clooney said that after having a discussion with his wife, Amal Clooney, about his age, he will no longer be “kissing girls” in movies.

“I’ve been trying to go the route Paul Newman did — ‘Okay, well, I’m not kissing a girl anymore,’” Clooney said.

He added, “When I turned 60, I had a conversation with my wife. I said, ‘Look, I can still play basketball with the boys. I play with 25-year-old guys. I can still hang, I’m in shape. But in 25 years, I’m 85 years old. It doesn’t matter how many granola bars you eat, that’s a real number.'”

"It: Welcome to Derry" isn't just about giving Pennywise another chance to run amok. The show aims to answer three main questions that will probe the history of the titular entity and even reveal more about wider Stephen King lore. Thus far, that venture has given us a significant backstory for Dick Hallorann, the man with psychic abilities who eventually becomes head chef at the Overlook Hotel in "The Shining" and teaches a young Danny Torrance how to harness his own supernatural powers. In episode 3 of the HBO series, we see Hallorann use his "shine" to discover that Jovan Adepo's Leroy Hanlon has a son. The scene is an...

When it comes to adaptations, especially of books, faithfulness is always a topic of discussion. Many fans want faithfulness above all else, essentially exact replicas of the source material, and would consider any deviation to be insulting to the original creator. Sure, there are many examples of authors who absolutely hated the movie adaptations of their books, like Stephen King with "The Shining," but there are also those who delighted in seeing someone else reinterpret their source material in exciting ways (like Chuck Palahniuk preferring the film version of "Fight Club" to his own novel).

Still, as easy as it is to say you enjoyed an acclaimed movie like "Fight Club,...

Long before the world knew Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" franchise, he was just a kid who dreamed of making motion pictures. However, there was one movie in particular that made young Hamill decide he was going to become an actor, and he hasn't looked back since.

In an interview with Letterboxd, Hamill recalled the original 1933 "King Kong," co-directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, being the film that lit the acting spark in his imagination. The black-and-white adventure follows a film crew who travel to an uncharted island and encounter a giant ape and other prehistoric creatures, which, surprisingly, paves the way for...

With Vince Gilligan's triumphant return to television, the creator of "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" is determined to show everyone just how absurdly talented Rhea Seehorn is. It remains one of the most egregious snubs of the past decade that Seehorn never won an Emmy (and she only got a single nomination), but with "Pluribus," Seehorn is now carrying a whole TV show on her capable shoulders and displaying some incredible acting week after week.

The show is also a great reminder of just how great "Better Call Saul" was — a show that some of us at /Film and even Guillermo del Toro agree is a better show...

"13 Going on 30" shouldn't work. It's a time-travel movie, a rom-com, a coming-of-age story, and a piece of '80s nostalgia wrapped up in a quirky mid-2000s package. The film's earnest, zany premise would be too cutesy to handle, were it not for the presence of Jennifer Garner, who plays the lead character in "13 Going on 30" with pitch-perfect naiveté and charm. She's Jenna Rink, a 13-year-old girl (initially played by Christa B. Allen) who wishes on a fairy-dusted dollhouse to be 30. Her wish comes true, but she finds out that, while grown-up Jenna has her dream job, she's not a very nice person.

We follow Jenna,...

Taylor Sheridan was never going to have a terrible 2025. He's filthy rich and always has a revolving wheel of shows on the air, so his career wasn't hurting. That said, 2024 saw the prolific creator get criticized because of the poor reception to "Yellowstone" season 5, with Sheridan's Travis Wheatley character accused of ruining the series thanks to his strip poker antics. What's more, some of his projects have been stuck in development hell for a minute now, but we can probably blame that on Sheridan having a full plate.

Fast forward to the end of 2025, and it's safe to say it's been a huge year for the "Yellowstone" creator. Not...

The trivia is well-known to Trekkies: Back in 1964, when Gene Roddenberry was still formulating his "Star Trek" proposal for CBS, he initially wrote down that the series would take place on the U.S.S. Yorktown, a spaceship commanded by a character named Captain Robert April. Through further tinkering and development, though, Roddenberry changed the captain character to Captain Christopher Pike, and the vessel was renamed the U.S.S. Enterprise. Pike, as portrayed by Jeffrey Hunter, would go on to make his first appearance in the original 1966 "Star Trek" TV series pilot, "The Cage."

Of course, even Captain Pike was re-jiggered after "The Cage," and "Star Trek" was re-imagined...

Universal Pictures had no faith in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" when they held their nose and dumped it into theaters at the end of the 1982 summer movie season. The studio that had made a killing with the equally ribald "National Lampoon's Animal House" five years earlier was embarrassed by the raunchiness of Amy Heckerling and Cameron Crowe's depiction of high school life in the Reagan era — in part because it was much more grounded, but also, I think, because it presented audiences with three-dimensional female characters. For many male executives, girls existed only to be objectified in young-skewing sex comedies.
