Gore Verbinski's Pirates of the Caribbean movies made billions and he seemed like a Hwood made man. Until Lone Ranger became an era-defining flop. After nothing for a decade, he's back with Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. I asked him "Where have you been?" tinyurl.com/3ex6z8bm

Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another won the weekend with $22.4 million but still faces a long road toward profitability. Nevertheless, it stands as capstone to Warner Bros.' $4 billion year: the studio's 7th No. 1 movie in a row. tinyurl.com/4d3rtxan

New York Magazine@NYMag·
Superman entered the movies marketplace with any number of potential frailties: the absence of a marquee star, perceptions of superhero fatigue (especially abroad), IP that unlike Spider-Man or Batman has ebbed and flowed from public consciousness for the past two decades. But pinning its underwhelming financials on anti-American sentiment presents more than a few troubling implications for an already beleaguered Hollywood. In an era when President Trump’s whipsaw imposition of tariffs has been wreaking havoc on world stock exchanges, DOGE cuts to humanitarian aid have eroded American “soft” power, and U.S. military support for Israel has come under intense criticism, is overtly American aesthetic the kiss of death for Hollywood’s premium movie product?

In an era of snarky superhero-dom, where Deadpool can kill, maim and then crack jokes; #SupermanMovie's hyper-earnestness and extreme sincerity may have cut through the cultural clutter to become its superpower at the box office tinyurl.com/56rdjys3

Apple spent nearly a quarter of a billion dollars on ‘F1,’ a literal star vehicle for Brad Pitt. Making its money back at the box office, insiders say, is beside the point. vulture.com/article/no-one…

Hey @__ChrisLee "Elemental" didn't win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. It was (rightfully) nominated but lost to Hayao Miyazaki's "The Boy and the Heron." Hope this helps!
