Ewan mcgregor on new star wars

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin To the surprise of absolutely no one, Vudu is reporting that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is their top-grossing title for the weekend. A glance at the other VOD platforms (iTunes, Google, Amazon and YouTube) shows the Sorcerer reigning Supreme (sorry/not sorry) on YouTube and Google while placing second on iTunes and 18th on Amazon. Yeah, sometimes Amazon is an outlier, as four of the top five titles ( Morbius, Father Stu, Uncharted and Spider-Man: No Way Home ) are Sony flicks. Lionsgate's Nicolas Cage/Pedro Pascal comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is third on Amazon and first over at iTunes. Anyway, Doctor Strange 2 dropped onto Disney+ on Wednesday, with Disney applying the 45-day window even to Marvel movies and despite a deluge of related MCU content ( Ms. Marvel ) and Star Wars stories (the season finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi ). Considering Sony gave Spider-Man: No Way Home an … [Read more...] about Box Office: How ‘Doctor Strange 2’ Reaffirmed Marvel’s Brand Strength

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Paramount and Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick earned another $30.5 million (-31%) in its fifth weekend of domestic release. That put the film back in the top slot for the weekend, a remarkable achievement in any era let alone our frontloaded, opening weekend-centric theatrical environment and with two solid openers on its tail. That fifth-weekend gross is the second-biggest such fifth-weekend gross ( American Sniper didn’t expand into wide release until its fourth weekend) between Titanic ($30 million in 1998) and Avatar ($42 million in 2010). It also puts its domestic total at $521.723 million. With a new overseas total (it was, again, the top movie overseas too dropping just 26%) of $487 million, Tom Cruise’s $170 million legacy sequel has now earned $1.005 billion worldwide. Yes, the Joseph Kosinski-directed flick just cracked $1 billion worldwide. That’s miracle number one. The film now ranks 15th on the all-time … [Read more...] about Box Office: Tom Cruise’s ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Flies Past $1 Billion Worldwide

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin In box office holdover news not related to Top Gun: Maverick , Universal and Amblin’s Jurassic World Dominion continued to play like the Tomorrow Never Dies of summer 2022 (pulling in terrific grosses even while being overshadowed by a zeitgeist-dominating blockbuster). The $185 million dino threequel earned another $26.4 million (-55%) to bring its domestic total to $302.775 million in 17 days. The drop is close enough to Fallen Kingdom (-53% for a $28 million third-weekend gross) to presume that audiences mostly like it at least as much as the last one, even if it’ll have to settle for a “mere” $350-$375 million domestic finish. Colin Trevorrow and Emily Carmichael’s franchise caper earned $42.9 million overseas for a new $443 million foreign and $746.6 million worldwide cume. It might not crack $1 billion, especially with China delivering half of what it did for the last two films ($227 million and $267 million), … [Read more...] about Weekend Box Office: ‘Lightyear’ Falls 65% As ‘Jurassic World 3’ Tops $300 Million

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Spending 8 days and 2,000 miles driving non-stop is either your worst nightmare or your personal state of nirvana (we’re talking “release of the soul from karmic bondage” nirvana here). Achieving that state of mind on the open highway may be putting a bit too much pressure on the road trip concept, but that didn’t stop the LongTail Rally organizers from trying. With a route that started in Laguna Beach, ended in Las Vegas, and visited Palm Springs, Beverly Hills, Santa Barbara, Monterey, Yosemite and Death Valley in between, I feared a triathlon-like experience after glancing at the LongTail Rally itinerary. But rally organizer Mike Knapp quickly allayed those fears. “We rarely hit the road before 11 am, and we’re always at our next night’s accommodations by 5 pm.” If you’re a car rally noob (like me), you may not know this, but most exotic car rallies are not run this way. Instead of reveling in engaging roads … [Read more...] about LongTail Rally: 30 Supercars, 2,000 Miles, 8 Days Of Thrill, Infinite Chill
