Box office prognosticators can already feel the love for the Jon Favreau-directed remake of The Lion King that’s set to hit theaters this weekend. Estimates for how well this photorealistic, CGI-heavy reimagining of the Disney animated classic could do when it first arrives on the big screen are ranging from an impressive $150 million on …
Stuber and Crawl are two of the new movies hitting theaters this week, but it’s very likely that Spider-Man: Far From Home will dominate the box office for one more week. Stuber looks like a hilarious buddy-cop comedy against the backdrop of our modern society that’s increasingly more dependent on instant gratification via ratings and …
Disney is currently in the process of remaking many of its classic animated films with modern visual effects and live-action casts. Some have been more successful than others, but few, if any, have been as highly anticipated as The Lion King. How could it possibly live up to the original, which many consider to be …
Disney’s live-action remake of The Lion King doesn’t open until July 19, but this new version of the beloved animated classic is already breaking records. Fandango announced Tuesday that the film is the new record-holder for the best first-day presales for a traditional Disney release — “traditional,” as in excluding movies in the Star Wars …
Another week flew by, which is good news for movie fans who go to the cinema regularly, because we’ve got a couple of exciting films coming out this week. Dark Phoenix, the last X-Men movie under Fox, is out this weekend, and it’ll battle The Secret Life of Pets 2 for the top spot at …

If you’re looking for something family-friendlier than that, you’re in luck, as Missing Link also premieres this weekend. Speaking of animated features, we’ve …
Over the past few years, it’s been a little frustrating watching the folks in Hollywood lazily churn out remake after remake after remake. Call me old-fashioned, but I’d rather see clever and original movies and TV shows instead of being bombarded with a seemingly endless string of superhero movies and nostalgia-fueled reboots a la Fuller …
Before we all get too excited about The Lion King teaser trailer that dropped on Friday — yes, it’s a new Disney movie based on an iconic franchise — I’ll tell you that there’s no Avengers 4 trailer this weekend, as some die-hard MCU fans might have hoped. Also, if you’re going to the theater …
