Chris Sanders’ “The Wild Robot” is at $107M globally, and it’s now been confirmed that this rare successful original will now be getting a sequel via DreamWorks Animation. 

Empire City is sounding the alarm on the way Warner Bros is treating Clint Eastwood’s “Juror #2.” The, supposedly, “final” film of Eastwood’s career will be hitting less than 50 theaters with no marketing support on November 1, and no planned expansion rollout.

There’s barely any interest in Ali Abassi’s “The Apprentice.” The Donald Trump film, starring Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong, only made $150k last night. It's playing in 1750+ screens nationwide.

Not counting his 1998 documentary, “The Cruise,” Bennett Miller has only directed three features in his strange, but fascinating filmmaking career: 2005’s “Capote,” 2011’s “Moneyball” and 2014’s “Foxcatcher.” All three were critically acclaimed.

We also have our first look at “Freakier Friday” (above) which is the sequel to 2003’s “Freaky Friday.” Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are set to return in their respective mother/daughter roles for the sequel.

French filmmaker Rebecca Zlotowski is coming off the acclaimed “Other People’s Children,” and she’s now deep in production on her next film (via Variety).

Warner Bros co-chiefs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy weren’t even allowed allowed to read the script for Nolan’s next movie. Only Universal’s Donna Langley was given the honor of going through the pages. It turns out, Nolan didn’t even consider Warner Bros.

A few days ago, I wrote having heard that “Terrifier 3” might open as high as $20M this coming weekend. Many didn’t believe it. I’m sticking with that figure, especially after having seen last night’s numbers.

I’ve been tracking this project for the past few months, and it looks like it might have been shelved, unless some good samaritan comes in to rescue it. The reason I was given had to do with lack of financing — they just don’t have the money. A real shame.

According to Puck’s Matt Belloni, a bidding war has been sparked to acquire Fennell’s film. It’s gotten to the point where Netflix is now offering $150M to snatch up “Wuthering Heights.” There’s just one problem: Fennell and Robbie want a theatrical rollout.

Just a quick note on Greta Gerwig’s ‘Chronicles of Narnia,’ which is eyeing a January 31, 2025 shoot. Not just that, but a recent Production List posting has it as dubbed a “series.” This is news to me. It could be an error.

Lewis Pullman, who will soon star in Marvel’s “Thunderbolts.” tells Variety that he would love to replace Joaquin Phoenix in the now-shelved Todd Haynes ‘30s gay romance movie. Is he a big enough draw?

It turns out that ‘Wicked,’ which had tickets go on sale earlier in the week, has nabbed the second best first-day ticket presales of 2024 on Fandango. That is the best possible news for Universal who have been marketing this movie like crazy.

We’re hearing word that Ade is working on “Zauberwort” (“Magic Word”), a long awaited film— her first one since 2016’s “Toni Erdmann,” with plans to shoot in 2026. There’s currently no casting or plot details for “Zauberwort."

While the latest rumors have Kevin Costner nearing bankruptcy because of his failed ‘Horizon’ gamble, the actor has signed up to his first film role since shooting his $100M western.

It is unclear what the story will be this time around for this latest Spidey. However, Daniel Richtman is now reporting that production on the sequel is set begin on May 25 in the UK, it’s going continue on until October — that’s six months of shooting.

I love Francis Ford Coppola’s persistence. He’s going to probably lose well over $100M on his “Megalopolis” gamble and yet he’s saying he has two more films he wants to make before he can safely say he’s retired — both he wants to finance himself.
