Like the headline says, this is another rundown of Black Panther’s ridiculously good domestic box office run. It will be a look at the milestones and records the film broke (or almost broke) during its second Fri-Sun frame. As of this writing the film earned $112 million over its second weekend of domestic release, dropping just 45% from last weekend and bringing its domestic total to $404m in ten days. And […]
When it comes to thin and light notebooks, Huawei isn't exactly a household name in the United States. The Matebook X Pro might change that. With today's reveal of the successor to 2017's MateBook X -- Huawei is proving it means serious business and intends to aggressively carve away market share from giants Dell and Apple. The MateBook X Pro is the second notebook Huawei has ever produced, so it stands to reason that name recognition is lacking in this space, […]
Late in the World War II drama "Darkest Hour," Winston Churchill — played, in case you hadn't heard, by Gary Oldman — delivers his famous "We shall fight on the beaches" speech in the House of Commons, a piece of oration so rousing that it brings his listeners to their feet. For a moment ripped from the pages of history, the scene feels curiously prophetic: less a blast from the […]
You have a firm grip on this year’s Oscar nominees, last year’s winners and what host Jimmy Kimmel will undoubtedly joke about (and the best picture award goes to ... oops). But there are aspects of Hollywood’s stellar night that may be a surprise. Let’s pull the curtain back a bit on a ceremony that strives for effortless glamour but, like any machine, is made up of nuts and bolts […]
Warner Bros. could quietly shelve the project, but there are multiple reasons they shouldn't. With Joss Whedon departing the Batgirlmovie, the obvious question arises: What next for Barbara Gordon? The project was initially announced just under a year ago with Whedon already in talks to write and direct the movie. It seemed so clearly in his wheelhouse — a teen heroine fighting to save a world that underestimates her? Whedon wrote the book […]
Siri is already in your home, in your pocket, and on your wrist, so why not in your ears as well? Apple’s AirPods wireless headphones already let you summon the voice assistant by physically tapping them, but the next iteration of them will allow you to simply say “Hey Siri,” as you would with your phone, Bloomberg reports. This improved functionality is currently being worked on for the next generation of the AirPods, which are internally […]
Mark Hamill, also known as Luke Skywalker in the famed "Star Wars" franchise, will finally receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And the actor is celebrating with an apparent jab at President Trump. The force will be with the original Luke Skywalker on March 8, as Hamill joins the ranks of Hollywood's top icons on the legendary Walk of Fame in Hollywood, Calif. The "Star Wars" veteran […]
Marvel Studios' Black Panther bounded to success at the President's Day box office, notching $242 million domestically over the four-day weekend--the second-highest such opening behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the biggest ever debut for a black director. In a triumph that could impact onscreen representation, its $184.6 million overseas total disproves a long-held industry myth that films with black casts underperform overseas. The Ryan Coogler-directed action flick beat expectations to score the fifth biggest North American debut of all time. […]
Alex Garland’s Annihilation has been met with some skepticism pre-release, thanks to concerns about the movie whitewashing the racially diverse cast of the source material and Paramount selling all international rights to the movie to Netflix. The reviews are in, however, and they promise a movie that is trippy, scary and above all, well worth watching. Calling the movie “a ferocious, feral, female-centric update of fearsome monster classics like The Thing and Alien,” The Hollywood Reporter’s own Todd McCarthy wrote that Annihilation “looks […]
