The #Cubs have lost 9 times in a row.

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu witnessed the lowest opening wknd #boxoffice of any #StarWars movie in current Disney era. $248M | 2015 | Force Awakens $220M | 2017 | Last Jedi $177.4M | 2019 | Rise of Skywalker $155.1M | 2016 | Rogue One $84.4M | 2018 | Solo $81M | 2026 | Mando

Masters of the Universe understands something modern blockbusters often forget: movies are supposed to look magical 🌈⚔️ From vibrant practical sets and detailed prosthetics to richly colorful costumes inspired by the original Filmation cartoon, Travis Knight’s adaptation embraces the kind of bold visual identity that so many fantasy films have abandoned in favor of endless gray. More than just another toy adaptation, Masters of the Universe feels like a movie made by people who genuinely love this world. Read more: collider.com/masters-of-the…

Si de niño me hubieran dicho que llegaría a ver una película de los Masters del Universo con una escena de He-Man pilotando un Sky-Sled mientras es perseguido por una flota de Rotons de Skeletor no me lo habría creído. Ahora sí. Ahora tenemos el poder.

STAR WARS was released 49 years ago today. Hollywood’s biggest movie phenomenon, and the film that launched the career of star Harrison Ford, the behind the scenes story is as spectacular as blowing up the Death Star… 1/37

@silvertonskip Couldn’t agree more DMac! Everything you said is on point, solid take

@alpotratz So agree mate. Andor was an example of when Disney gets the F out of the way, gives the Star Wars team an actual budget, and tells an incredible story that is a worthy prequel of the brilliance of Rogue 1. It couldn’t be any other way. Most of Mando is meh.

Andor is the worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars because it showed me just how great a Star Wars can be #Mando

No puede ser. Lo han hecho. Esos malditos locos lo han hecho. MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE va con todo.

My ★★★ review of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu on @letterboxd: boxd.it/eu6ozt

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu saw the lowest THU pre-show launch of any #StarWars movie with only $12M. That's 15% below previous low by Solo from this same wknd 8 yrs ago. THU pre-show openings: $57M Force Awakens $45M Last Jedi $40M Rise of Skywalker $29M Rogue One $14.1M Solo $12M Mando Critics were mixed but early fans gave solid 88% RT aud score. M&G still have to work extra hard to get 4-day opening wknd #boxoffice to $100M area.

"A big swing that pays off from start to finish" Nicolas Cage stars as web-slinger Ben Reilly fighting crime in 1930s New York in Spider-Noir — streaming on Amazon Prime Video from 27 May. Read our ★★★★★ review: empireonline.com/movies/reviews…

I’m sorry but this #MastersOfTheUniverse Final trailer is just INCREDIBLE. And marketing is one of the few areas where “save the best for last” does not apply. This should’ve been the main trailer all along. I believe, at first, marketing team tried to sell it the way WB did with #Barbie - I wouldn’t be shocked if the suggestion to this initial approach came from #MATTEL themselves - instead of selling the film for what it really is. My guess is that only after they saw the incredible reactions and saw that the movie’s strength was indeed in being proud of its 80s cartoon turned into live-action essence, they realised that’s how they should have promoted the film as. It’s a shame they missed the chance of having this trailer attached to #ProjectHailMary, #Michael, #MortalKombat & even #TheDevilWearsPrada2, because those audiences would have eaten this up! Specially the #Michael screens so full of casuals whose lived the #HeMan heydays during the 80s. But it’s never too late, and I think they dropping this trailer as soon as they realised the points people were talking the most about, was the right move and will win many people originally on the fence over.

The battle between light and dark has taken flight. Eternia took over the LA skies and set a Guinness World Record for the most powerful drone show ever! Masters of the Universe - only in theaters June 5. Get tickets now.

Michael Mann couldn't shoot Collateral on film. The cameras couldn't see Los Angeles at night the way he wanted. So he picked a digital camera no other major Hollywood movie had used. The crew was still building parts for it during the shoot. Mann was chasing a specific look. Around 10 or 11pm in LA winters, a low cloud bank drifts in off the ocean and settles about 1,200 feet up. The orange sodium streetlamps below light up the bottom of those clouds and turn the whole sky into a soft, hazy glow. Mann said it looked like winter in England. Movie film couldn't see that. To shoot a single downtown block clearly, the crew would have had to bring in massive lights and brighten up entire streets just to make the buildings visible. Even with the lens open as wide as it goes to pull in any available light, almost nothing outside the foreground would stay in focus. The camera Mann picked was the Thomson Viper, brand new and not really ready for production. There was no memory card or storage inside the body. It had to be plugged into a separate hard drive with a cable. About 80% of Collateral was shot digital. The other 20% on regular film was mostly the Korean nightclub shootout, where the bright club lighting gave the crew plenty to work with. The coyote scene only exists because of the digital camera. Mann didn't plan it. A small pack of coyotes wandered across an empty street between takes, and because the camera could see in near-darkness, the crew just rolled. On film, that shot would have required lighting up the whole intersection first. The helicopter shots over the city work the same way. Palm trees against the night sky, the downtown skyline lit only by the city's own light. On 35mm film, none of that would have shown up. The movie cost $65 million to make and earned $220 million worldwide. It won Best Cinematography at the BAFTAs, the British version of the Oscars, and helped push Hollywood toward digital cameras for night shoots. One catch. That orange light Mann chased is mostly gone now. Starting in 2009, LA began replacing its sodium vapor streetlamps with white LEDs. By 2013 the city had swapped out 141,000 of them. Today the lighting system is 98% LED. The Los Angeles you see in Collateral doesn't exist anymore.
