Yesterday, the folks at Vertical let us know they’d be dropping a trailer for the horror film The Exorcism (formerly known as The Georgetown Project), which stars Russell Crowe and is set to receive a North American theatrical release on June 7th, online today. Sure enough, a trailer for The Exorcism has just arrived online, and you can check it out in the embed above!
Crowe recently played real-life exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth in the supernatural horror film The Pope’s Exorcist, which could turn out to be a franchise starter. He actually worked on this movie before making The Pope’s Exorcist – in fact, The Exorcism was first announced four and a half years ago. So it’s good to see that it’s finally making its way out into the world.

During the most recent quarter, Warner Bros.’ “Dune: Part Two” became one of the Top 10 Imax releases of all time. The Denis Villeneuve-directed sci-fi epic has garnered more than $143 million at the global box office to date on Imax screens — representing 21% of the film’s total gross receipts.

A couple days ago, Vertical announced that they will be giving the horror film The Exorcism (formerly known as The Georgetown Project), which stars Russell Crowe, a North American theatrical release on June 7th, with the streaming rights going to Shudder. Now the Motion Picture Association ratings board has revealed that they have given The Exorcism an R rating – and we’ve learned that the film’s trailer will be dropping online tomorrow!
The Exorcism has been rated R for language, some violent content, sexual references and brief drug use. This isn’t the first time the movie has been given an R rating, as it was previously given an R for the exact same reasons last June, when it was still going by the title The Georgetown Project.

The upcoming film The Life of Chuck is the latest Stephen King adaptation from Mike Flanagan, who has previously been at the helm of the Stephen King adaptations Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep (and is also developing a series adaptation of The Dark Tower for Amazon Studios) – but it is not a horror movie. Flanagan has let it be known that this isn’t horror, and cast member David Dastmalchian has said the same in a new interview with Gizmodo, describing the film and elements in it as beautiful and heartbreaking.
Dastmalchian, who was also in the recent King adaptation The Boogeyman, said (with thanks to Coming Soon for the transcription), “It’s beautiful. You think, ‘Oh, Mike Flanagan, Stephen King, this thing’s going to just be the most horrifying, terrifying, thing you’ve ever seen.’ [But] it is so beautifully rendered, heartfelt, the drama, the performances. The cast in this is deep.

Russell Crowe recently played real-life exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth in the supernatural horror film The Pope’s Exorcist, which could turn out to be a franchise starter… but before Crowe made that movie, he made a different supernatural thriller that deals with exorcism. Four and a half years have gone by since it was announced that Crowe had signed on to star in a film that was then known as The Georgetown Project, with Joshua John Miller directing. Now retitled The Exorcism, that film has been acquired by Vertical for a North American theatrical release that’s scheduled for June 7th. The streaming rights are in the hands of Shudder.

The Papyrus font is still haunting Ryan Gosling, who faced his fears once again in the new live sketch of Saturday Night Live released this weekend. The font was used in James Cameron’s mega-successful franchise, Avatar which released its sequel two years ago. The 2017 Papyrus SNL video was a huge hit, which showed Ryan Gosling’s Steven Wingdings, who is bothered by the fact that the movie used that basic font for its logo.

One of those films is titled Screamboat, and Bloody Disgusting has learned that the filmmakers are teaming with Iconic Events Releasing for a theatrical release.
From the production teams behind Terrifier 2 and The Mean One, Screamboat is coming to theaters in 2025 via Iconic Events Releasing, we have been informed this afternoon.
In Screamboat, “A mischievous mouse stalks a group of New Yorkers on a late night ferry ride, unleashing murderous mayhem on a relaxing commute. Can the ship’s motley crew of travelers find a way to stop a killer creature who has developed a taste for tourists?”

At the 95th Academy Awards (honoring the cinematic achievements of 2022), there were two notable surprises in the technical categories. The first occurred when “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” nabbed the Oscar for Best Costume Design, beating out the the heavily favored “Elvis” as well as “Babylon.” The second occurred when “All Quiet on the Western Front” claimed the prize for Best Production Design, defeating Gold Derby odds leader “Babylon” in addition to both “Elvis” and “Avatar: The Way of Water.” Anyone who predicted either of those two upsets outsmarted the vast majority of Gold Derby users.
At last month’s 96th Academy Awards, we didn’t see any similar out-of-left-field choices in any of the tech categories. The closest thing to a curveball was arguably “The Zone of Interest” winning the Oscar for Best Sound, overcoming the night’s eventual Best Picture champion, “Oppenheimer.” So how did “Zone” do it? Here are five reasons why.

In 2017, Ryan Gosling starred in "Papyrus," a "Saturday Night Live" sketch about Steven, a man fixated on the issue of our time: "Avatar," one of the most expensive and successful movies ever made, used the basic Papyrus font for its logo. Surely the graphic design team had resources to experiment more? To get to the bottom of this conspiracy, Gosling's character takes to stalking one of them.
The joke at the heart of "Papyrus" is how it's made in the style of a prestige drama, from the heavy violin score to the dramatic car crash. Gosling, a true movie star with a talent for committing to the bit (watch him perform "I'm Just Ken" from "Barbie" live at the Oscars), acts with deepest sincerity in "Papyrus."
The sketch caught on so much that even "Avatar" director James Cameron eventually commented on the use of Papyrus (his response: "I like the font"). Well,...

In a fight between Ryan Gosling and the Avatar title fight, we stand firmly on Gosling’s side. Six years ago, Gosling hosted the SNL season premiere and starred in a skit that, to date, has been viewed 22 million times online. In the skit, Gosling played Steven, a man obsessed with the decision to use the Papyrus font on Avatar‘s title.
Now we finally know why Gosling’s character would care so much about something so insignificant.
Ryan Gosling killed it hosting the April 13, 2024 SNL episode – easily the best of the season – and brought back his Papyrus-hating character in an SNL online exclusive. “Papyrus 2” finds Steven in therapy and determined to avoid any triggers. Unfortunately, his dentist decided to use Avatar 2 as a way to distract his clients, leaving Steven no choice but to watch it during his appointment. He’s stoked to see that the title’s...

Ryan Gosling’s return as Saturday Night Live host allowed for the actor to appear in some sequel sketches, including reuniting with Kate McKinnon in an alien abductee support group and, perhaps more notably, reprising his role as a man haunted by the Avatar font.

It has been hailed as one of the most memorable Saturday Night Live videos of the past decade. During his second turn as host in 2017, Ryan Gosling headlined a video titled Papyrus in which he plays a man obsessed by the fact that James Cameron’s blockbuster Avatar used Papyrus, a common letter style, for its logo. The skit has raked in 12M views on YouTube alone.
In his return for his third hosting stint this week, Gosling revisited the SNL classic with Papyrus 2, which was released online after the episode’s airing on NBC.

When it comes to the most iconic leads to grace the silver screen, one can’t leave Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen Ripley out of the equation. While the Alien IP has witnessed several installments since its inception in ’79, the first two releases remain the franchise’s peak, often considered some of the most important contributors to the sci-fi landscape.
So it’s unsurprising to see why most hold one of the first two as one of their favorites from the iconic IP, and when Weaver was asked about her favorite one, she was quick to answer.
Aliens is Sigourney Weaver’s Favorite in the Franchise Aliens (1986)
From Ridley Scott delving into the more horror element with the first film, and James Cameron exploring more of its sci-fi aspect with the sequel, both films are considered great in their own right. But While Sigourney Weaver holds massive admiration for Scott, when...

In “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” the gorilla has a new adversary: Skar King, the cunning, lanky, red-haired orangutan-like creature, who lords over the subterranean realm of Hollow Earth like a sadistic bully to keep his ape minions in line. With Shimo, the ancient ice Titan, whom he controls as his slave, Skar King is so formidable that it takes the two titular Titans to stop him from achieving world domination.
In creating the best villain yet in the five-film MonsterVerse franchise, director Adam Wingard relied on Wētā FX — the king of ape films, with “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” right around the corner — to animate Skar King. They overhauled the design concept to ensure his biomechanics worked in line with the desired motion and also roughed him up, complete with a cat-eye reflection in one of his eyes.

Disney premiered 13 action-packed minutes of “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” at CinemaCon, ginning up excitement for its reboot of the science-fiction franchise.
Set generations after the events of 2017’s “War for the Planet of the Apes,” the movie follows a young chimp named Noa (biblical allusions clearly intended) as he embarks on an epic journey after his village is torched by a band of gorillas (we think — we’re no primatologists here). It also finds Noa (played by “It” and “To Leslie” star Owen Teague) scaling the rocky face of a cliff on the prowl for eagle eggs. He’s accompanied by two, less daring and much older members of his clan. Things don’t go entirely according to plan, with Noa nearly falling hundreds of feet to the ground before after the angry bird returns to his home. Vertigo sufferers be warned.

Nine months after Hayao Miyazaki's "The Boy and the Heron" first premiered in its native Japan, the film finally opened in China -- and it made one heck of a splash in the country. The Studio Ghibli production debuted in the Middle Kingdom last week and, after just a matter of days, it is now the number one market in the world for the acclaimed animated feature. Moreover, the Studio Ghibli film is a rare hit import in China in the pandemic era and a truly welcome victory lap for a beloved movie by one of cinema's living legends.
"The Boy and the Heron" opened to $34.9 million in China this past weekend. That alone would be impressive, but across its first five days of release after arriving in the country mid-week, it pulled in a whopping $73 million. That already makes it the biggest market in the world for Miyazaki's...

[Editor’s note: This list was originally published in January 2023. It has since been updated with new titles.]
Save for Tom Cruise and maybe Kevin Feige, no name carries more weight in the world of tentpole filmmaking than James Cameron.
In December 2022, more than a decade after the writer/director’s triumphant “Avatar” became the highest grossing movie of all time, Cameron’s sequel and visual effects marvel “Avatar: The Way of Water” provided a massive splash of ticket sales for a drought-ridden box office. It’s now the third highest grossing film of all time, and its run propped up theaters in what IndieWire’s Tom Brueggeman described as a good start to the 2023.
That’s standard fare for Cameron, of course. He first made box office history in 1997 with the epic historical fiction romance “Titanic”: a cinematic knockout that ran in theaters for nearly ten months and remains the fourth highest grossing movie ever made. He won Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Editing at the year’s Academy Awards.

According to ComScore, 22.45m tickets were sold in the first three months of this year, a 1.1% decrease on 12 months ago, while box office takings of €217.88m were 6.6% below the first quarter of 2023.
The larger year-on-year discrepancy in the box office takings could be explained by higher ticket prices for 3D blockbuster Avatar: The Way Of Water last year. The average ticket in 2023 Q1 was €10.26 compared to €9.70 this year.

A busy holdover weekend for wide studio releases was led by the trio of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Kung Fu Panda 4 and Dune: Part Two. And, in a soaring performance, Hayao Miyazaki’s Oscar winner The Boy and the Heron swooped into China helping the market set a new Qingming holiday record.
Meanwhile, Best Picture Oscar winner Oppenheimer, boosted by its release in Japan, has now become Christopher Nolan’s biggest movie ever at the international box office.
Before we dig into all of that, there was also fresh blood in some overseas areas with Disney/20th Century Studios’ The First Omen debuting to $9.1M from 43 markets (about 76% of the offshore landscape and notably not including France and Germany which go next weekend). This is about as expected. The global bow is $17.5M.
Latin America leans in on horror and the prequel performed best in Mexico where it opened No.

Recently, in an interview, the Avatar director said that he would think thoroughly before making movies like The Terminator.

While not desirable, this is much less than the dip of 16.4% in February 2024 compared to the same month the year before which was buoyed by crowd-pleasing French titles Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom and Alibi.com 2 that dominated the box office in early 2023.

The glamorous (and handsomely paid) actors and actresses who bring our favorite films and TV shows to life often captivate us, but let us not forget that the real heroes are the artistic wizards behind the camera: the directors. They are in charge of choosing the ideal cast and setting the overall direction of the production, which includes what you see on screen.
Christopher Nolan, the genius behind Inception and Interstellar, and James Cameron, the maestro of Terminator to Titanic who maintained the excitement for Avatar 2 in 2022, more than ten years after the first film’s release, are two auteurs who established their careers through writing and directing in their own iconic styles.

Legendary Entertainment’s “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” had the best opening in China of any Hollywood film this year.
It scored $44.6 million (RMB317 million) in mainland Chinese cinemas between Friday and Sunday, according to data from consultancy firm Artisan Gateway. That was a nearly 70% share of the country’s weekend box office.
Nationwide, cinemas enjoyed $64.1 million of business, a significant leap from the $39.5 million they earned in the previous weekend. The total was the third biggest this year that was not driven by the Lunar New Year holiday titles.
The opening was smaller than “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” in May 2019, which has a $2.5 million preview weekend, opened with $66 million and built a total of $133 million. But Hollywood movies have struggled to hit those heights in China since 2020.
“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’s” healthy performance was the fourth largest by a Hollywood title in the post-pandemic era.

Take Kung Fu Panda 4, for example. The film just came out in theaters this month, but guess what? It’s already going to be available for streaming in April (a mere month after its theatrical debut)!
