Captain Marvel is one of the few Marvel superhero movies to really deviate from the franchise’s usual formulas – both by centering on a female hero and being a period piece set in 1995. As such, and despite high ticket presales, Internet users started to doubt the movie and its ability to do well. And although they believed the movie would fail, it seems that is not at all the case with Captain Marvel. As the film’s domestic box office intake continues to be counted, it’s beginning to look like Captain Marvel will end up in the $153,000,000 range for…

As we all know, Disney is almost finished processing its merge with Fox. Once Fox is acquired, Disney will possess access not just to the X-Men franchise, but Alien, Predator, The Omen, and thousands of other properties. One that is currently being prepped for a revival under Disney is The Fly, a classic sci-fi horror title that blew minds away both in the 1950’s and 1980’s. According to MovieHole: No brainer. Fox have been trying to get a new “Fly” off the ground for years – and J.D Dillard and Alex Theurer “wrote a cool script”, we’re told – and Disney will…

STX Films had a major hit in 2016 with The Boy, which made $65 million worldwide on a $10 million budget. Now as profitable horror films tend to do, the movie’s success has led to an upcoming sequel! That’s right, STX Films is presenting us with The Boy 2. The studio has officially dated the movie for a July 26th, 2019 release. It’s interesting to see new horror franchises blossom in Hollywood, even if certain other staples like Friday the 13th remain dormant. It really gives me hope for which properties could receive sequel announcements next, and with crossed fingers…

The Suicide Squad is already shaping up to be quite different from its predecessor. While fans weren’t sure if the film would use certain characters from the original, particularly Will Smith’s Deadshot, it does appear that Deadshot will be in the movie. But not the Will Smith version. Rather, the character will be brought to life by actor Idris Elba. Idris Elba is now the only official cast member attached to the movie. Although we know Will Smith is no longer involved, it’s unknown if any other cast members from the first Suicide Squad will return or be replaced. This…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has mainly only had one weakness since Iron Man created the franchise – Disney had mostly chosen not to go into R-rated territory with their large array of characters. While they started to delve in that area with their original Netflix content like Daredevil or The Punisher, it only led fans to wonder if they would ever begin making R-rated movies like their Fox counterparts. Now that Disney is acquiring Fox, it seems like the answer is they’ll indeed begin producing R-rated content. One character fans have wondered about for a while who fits the R-Rated…

Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters 3 is quickly shaping up to be an exciting project for fans of the iconic franchise. While there’s no word on if any members of the original cast will return, it is expected that the original Ghostbusters will show up. After all, we did get to see their Ecto-1 in Sony’s teaser trailer. One of the changes we do know about, however, is that the new film will introduce new characters including a focus on a small family. The cast for the family unit hasn’t been officially announced, but it’s been rumored by Variety that Finn Wolfhard…

As many horror fans know by now, the Friday the 13th franchise is in the middle of a horrible series of lawsuits. The original film’s writer, Victor Miller, had been battling to receive rights to characters he helped create like Jason Voorhees and his mother. After successfully winning the legal battle, previous rights holder Sean Cunningham retaliated – and submitted a notice of intent to appeal. Thus the rights were back in legal turmoil. However, it looks like there’s been at least one major change since that last update. Sean Cunningham has recently withdrawn his appeal, according to horror YouTuber…

A new Gremlins project has been in and out of the works for decades now. Writer Chris Columbus is currently working on his treatment for a new movie which aims to take the franchise in new, darker directions. And while we still await updates on that – the franchise will be making a comeback on the small screen. That’s right, Gremlins will be getting a new animated TV series set for the currently unnamed WarnerMedia streaming service. According to Variety, the animated series will function as a prequel to Joe Dante’s original 1984 movie. It’ll show how Mr. Wing, the…
