Coffee and menthol. Cold beer and ice cream. Soccer Mommy and a devastatingly direct chorus. Sophie Allison knows her combinations, and she’s back at it with “Shotgun,” a new gem that chases after the perfect metaphor for what it’s like to be emphatically in love.
Soccer Mommy released her last album, Color Theory, in February 2020, approximately 9 years ago in pandemic time. “Shotgun” is a far cry from that record, with its angsty emotional palette of distorted riffs and early aughts nostalgia. The musician who once sang that she...

This weekend saw the debut of two appealing studio titles, neither of which will be in theaters. “Without Remorse,” Paramount’s relaunch of their Tom Clancy franchise and “The Mitchells vs the Machines,” from Sony Animation, launched on Amazon Prime and Netflix, respectively, free to subscribers. On the Netflix chart, “Mitchells” immediately placed at #1.
The cinemas could have used their momentum. Last weekend, “Mortal Kombat” and “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” surpassed expectations with openings over $20 million. This weekend, the only new release was horror film “Separation,” which earned $1.8 million. “Mortal” and “Demon.” each fell over 70 percent.
It isn’t unusual for big openers to drop half or more in their second weeks, but new competition opening is usually a contributing factor. It also appears that the titles’ audiences showed less crossover interest. Total business for the weekend will be around $24 million, about 60 percent less than last week.

On a weekend when the film industry is still grappling with the closure of Pacific Theaters and ArcLight Cinemas, the box office slowed down again. For now, Warner Bros. title “Godzilla vs. Kong” will stay No. 1 with $7.7 million in its third weekend in 3,001 locations, giving it a domestic total of $80.5 million.
Globally, the film now has a total of $390.5 million, as a combination of steadily reopening U.S. theaters and significantly recovered markets in China, Australia, Mexico and Taiwan have pushed the film past the $363.6 million total earned by “Tenet” last fall. This week, “Godzilla vs. Kong” will become the first Hollywood blockbuster since “Bad Boys for Life” 15 months ago to gross over $400 million worldwide.
Universal’s “Nobody” stays in second with $2.5 million in its fourth weekend from 2,405 locations. The film was made available as a premium on-demand title thanks to Universal’s theatrical window deal with AMC and Cinemark.

The straw-man argument at the center of Truth to Power, a documentary about the art and activism of System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian, is: “Can music change the world?” If you know anything about Tankian — or Fela Kuti, Pete Seeger, Billie Holiday, N.W.A, Ludwig van Beethoven, and on and on — the answer is self-evident. But once filmmaker Garin Hovannisian moves past this question and begins showing how Tankian and his bandmates have improved the status of their ancestral homeland, Armenia, the power of truth starts hitting its marks.
