Sunny Hostin has found an interesting solution to what she claims is Hollywood’s refusal to embrace Black and Brown creative content: artificial intelligence (AI). The View co-host defended the new technology during Friday’s episode of the ABC talk show, arguing that...
Walt Disney Imagineering has brought back Imagineer That!, a short-form educational video series originally produced for the Disney Channel. The revived version features the return of Tom Morrow 2.0, a character introduced in the early 2000s as a host and mascot at EPCOT’s Innoventions. The new series debuted on the official Walt Disney Imagineering YouTube channel on August 24, 2025.
Variety confirmed the news this week, highlighting how quickly the project has gone from announcement to active filming. At the same time, it’s impossible not to notice the stark contrast with the New Jedi Order film—better known as the Rey movie—which was unveiled with great fanfare more than two years ago at Star Wars Celebration, but still shows no sign of life.
The soundtrack for KPop Demon Hunters is rewriting chart history. According to ABC Audio, four songs from the animated film’s soundtrack are currently sitting in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100—a feat never before achieved in the chart’s 67-year history.
When Snoop Dogg spoke this week about Disney Pixar’s Lightyear, it put him directly in Hollywood’s crosshairs. After sharing his frustration with the film’s two moms subplot, the rap legend is now facing censorship, celebrity attacks, and even calls to cancel his upcoming live performances.
The story isn’t just about Snoop Dogg anymore—it’s about how Hollywood reacts when one of its own dares to question the Disney cultural agenda, and how Snoop himself may be shifting with the times.
The future of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has been drifting in uncharted waters for years, but Orlando Bloom is clear about what he believes could steer the ship back on course: bring back the original crew.
For years, Hollywood insisted the superhero genre was too big to fail. Marvel and DC might stumble here or there, but whenever the chips were down, a tentpole reboot would swoop in and restore audience faith. That was the expectation for 2025, when James Gunn’s new Superman and Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps arrived to great industry fanfare.
These were the movies that were supposed to stop the bleeding, unite audiences, and reignite box office firepower.
Instead, they proved the exact opposite: even the biggest names in comic book history can’t save a genre audiences are walking away from.
This weekend, Netflix scored something it has almost never managed before: a No. 1 finish at the U.S. box office. The anime musical KPop Demon Hunters surged past traditional theatrical releases with an estimated $18–20 million gross, despite being available to stream on Netflix worldwide. That should have been an easy victory lap for the streaming giant. Instead, the win is clouded by secrecy, conflicting reports, and Netflix’s deliberate refusal to confirm any hard numbers.
When Marvel Studios released Eternals in late 2021, the company thought it was launching the next Avengers-level franchise. According to Variety, Kumail Nanjiani, one of the “stars” of Eternals, had signed on for an ambitious six-picture deal across a decade, complete with appearances in a video game and even a planned theme-park attraction.
For more than a decade, comic book movies were Hollywood’s surest bet. Audiences could count on at least one Marvel or DC (usually Marvel…) release smashing past $700 million globally every single year. However, that comic book movie box office hot streak is now broken.
The movie industry just got blindsided. In a shocking turn of events, the Sony Netflix animated feature KPop Demon Hunters has taken the #1 spot at the domestic box office this weekend, pulling in an estimated $18 million despite already being available to stream on Netflix for weeks.
Quentin Tarantino finally revealed his next project. And surprise! It’s not his long-awaited 10th, and potentially final film. Since scrapping his screenplay for The Film Critic, because, as a source told Deadline, he simply changed his mind, the 61-year-old auteur has apparently written a stage play.
Quentin Tarantino’s forbidden country, or perhaps his final frontier, is playing in an established movie franchise. But speaking at Fan Expo in Boston earlier this month, Montgomery “Scotty” Scott actor Simon Pegg spoke to Collider and reminded us that we nearly got a Tarantino take on Star Trek. It’s an idea, “That was what we call in the business bats*** crazy,” Pegg told the outlet.
