| Tom Holland Films Take No. 1 & 3 Spots at Weekend Box Office Posted: 21 Feb 2022 08:25 AM PST
In what some expert thought would be a down holiday weekend at the box office has turned out to be much stronger as Uncharted over-performs expectations over the 4-day weekend taking in $51 million to top the charts. This is quite the accomplishment for the Tom Holland / Mark Wahlberg lead video game adaptation that had been receiving less than stellar reviews from critics.
But audiences disagree with the critics, giving the film an 89% score compared to the 39% from the professionals. This is also the second Tom Holland film to lead the box office in as many months and Spider-Man: No Way Home is still performing well, taking in another $8.8 million which puts it at third place for the week. Sandwiched between the two films is the new Channing Tatum vehicle, Dog, which wagged its way to $18.05 million and second place.
Last week's leader, Death on the Nile dropped to fourth with $7.18 million and Jackass Forever rounds out the top five with $6.2 million. The post Tom Holland Films Take No. 1 & 3 Spots at Weekend Box Office appeared first on Bleeding Fool. |
| Watch: Gag on this ‘Peacemaker ‘Blooper Reel from James Gunn Posted: 21 Feb 2022 06:20 AM PST
James Gunn has dropped a 9-minute gag reel from his HBO Max series Peacemaker. And by “gag” reel, we aren’t referring to the ass kissing John Cena performed on China last year. They just wrapped season one and the series has been approved for a second season. Are you watching the series? That finale did feature a pretty surprising cameo.
You can watch the gag reel below or over on Gunn's Twitter account. And don’t worry, The Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy director finally deleted all those sick pedophile jokes from his social media.

| ‘The Batman’ Will Mark the Return of U.S. Superhero Films to China Posted: 21 Feb 2022 04:45 AM PST
Warner Bros.' The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson, has secured a theatrical release date in China on March 18, marking the return of Hollywood superhero movies to the country after an extended drought.
The Batman will be hitting China behind the U.S., where it opens March 4, after releasing in Taiwan and South Korea on March 2. Unlike other recent WarnerMedia tentpoles, however, The Batman won't be released simultaneously on streamer HBO Max, which will help prevent high-quality pirate copies from reaching China before the movie is in cinemas. WarnerMedia has promised to wait 45 days before putting the new Batman installment on its flagship streaming service.
The release date for the DC title breaks a prolonged streak of China passing on the releases of Hollywood superhero movies. China may be happy they missed The Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey. But they also missed the last five Marvel blockbusters — Black Widow, Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Spider-Man: No Way Home — which were all left on the shelf by Chinese regulators, leaving studio insiders to speculate about the reasons and significance of the snubs.
The last U.S. superhero movies that made it to the Chinese box office were Wonder Woman 1984, Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Bloodshot. So now it’s making complete sense why the NBA is promoting the movie so heavily…

| Fantastic Four on Deck; Feige Calls ‘Endgame’ the “Final Avengers Film” Posted: 20 Feb 2022 03:25 PM PST
In the recently released Marvel Assembled which takes a look behind the scenes of Eternals as well as in the Featurettes on the Blu-Ray release, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige referred to Avengers: Endgame as being the final Avengers film. This has, of course, sent the Internet into a frenzy.
There has been a lot of speculation over the last few years that Marvel was building up to a new team that would included Shang-Chi and members of the Eternals even though there is no Avengers film on the Phase 4 schedule. Where an Avengers film would have been historically is now replaced with a team called the Fantastic Four. It is possible that there won't be another Avengers film, but I wouldn't bank on that yet.
If you look at the actual quote which is something like: "After the final Avengers film, we closed the book on the Infinity Saga and wanted to go in a new direction." It is very possible that he is referring to the final Avengers film in the Infinity Saga and not the final one altogether. Its open to a bit of interpretation. Plus, Feige is never one to say never. If in Phase 5 he decides to do Secret Wars or the Kree/Skrull war and slapping the word Avengers on the front makes sense, he will.
Maybe the internet can calm down a little. Nah… The post Fantastic Four on Deck; Feige Calls ‘Endgame’ the “Final Avengers Film” appeared first on Bleeding Fool. |
