While it was indicated well before their Comic-Con@Home panel when news broke of Mulan‘s theatrical pause, Disney is keeping 20th Century Studios/Marvel’s The New Mutants on the theatrical release calendar. Rumors were flying around yesterday that the horror-mutant movie was headed to Disney+ in September. This was spurred from what I’m told was a fan-made trailer posted to reddit. Buzz has dogged this much delayed film well before the Disney-Fox merger that it was headed to Hulu, but that never happened, and Disney today –fingers crossed– indicated before today’s panel that New Mutants would stick to its current Aug 28 release date. That’s the fifth dating of the movie following previous dates of April 13, 2018; Feb. 22, 2019; Aug. 2, 2019 and April 3, 2020; the last chan...

No spoilers for The Boys season 2, but ... there’s more to the story. During the SDCC 2020 panel for the hit comic book series, producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg showed up to announce that The Boys season 3 had already been greenlit by Amazon in anticipation of its second season, due in September. “If you like The Boys, you’ve got more of it ... thank god,” Rogen said. According to Amazon, the “even more intense, more insane” season 2 finds The Boys on the run from the Supes, and trying to regroup to fight back against Vought. During the panel, the cast presented the first clip from the new season, in which Butcher, Hughie, and Mother’s Milk are confronted by The Deep and a giant whale, and subsequently drive a boat through the underwater beast’s blubber. It’s wicked fu...

The couple allege drones and helicopters have been deployed by paparazzi to take unlawful photos of them and their 14-month-old son in the privacy of their residence. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry haven't escaped the paparazzi since leaving the U.K. — in fact, they're now suing for invasion of privacy over illegal images they say were taken of their young son in their own backyard. The former royals and recent California residents are suing because of "serial intrusions on the privacy of a 14-month-old child in his own home, and the desire and responsibility of any parent to do what is necessary to protect their children from this manufactured feeding frenzy," according to a complaint filed Thursday in L.A. County Superior Court by Michael Kump of Kinsella Weitzman. After stepping b...

God bless America. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office is reporting that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s Montecito home was burglarized on the Fourth of July, according to local affiliate KEYT. “High-value jewelry and watches” were reportedly the items taken from the home, which deputies said was targeted because of its status as a known home to celebrities. Forensic technicians and detectives are apparently working the scene. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office also tells KEYT that they’re coordinating with other law enforcement agencies to ascertain if the Montecito burglary may be connected to other celebrity break-ins in the area. The Sheriff’s Office doesn’t specify which burglaries they’re attempting to connect the recent break-ins to, but in Octobe...

NEW YORK (AP) — A long time ago in a pre-COVID universe far, far away, blockbusters opened around the globe simultaneously or nearly so. In 1975, “Jaws” set the blueprint. Concentrate marketing. Open wide. Pack them in. Since then, Hollywood has turned opening weekends into an all-out assault. Staggered rollouts still happen, of course, but the biggest films are dropped like carpet bombs. Anything less risks losing the attention of moviegoers. Global debuts north of $300 million became commonplace. Last year, “Avengers: Endgame” made well north of $1 billion in a couple days. Hollywood has now gone more than four months without a major theatrical release. While some films have found new streaming homes, the biggest upcoming ones — “Tenet,” “Mulan,” “A Quiet Place Part II” — remain idled...
