Such is the time we live in when franchises are no longer just about sequels or prequels. Spinoffs are the newest goldmine that studios are looking at, hoping to extend branding outward in a never-ending reach of blockbuster moviemaking. “Cars” has begotten “Planes,” Disney is already planning “Star Wars” standalone movies between the saga sequels, Sony is developing movies around the Spider-Man villains and now Fox are toying with the idea of individual X-Men movies. Because of course they are. But they’ve been here before.

In the lead up to “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” Fox was also working…

Yesterday came the official confirmation from Marvel Studios that they will open Captain America 3 on May 6, 2016, where it will face off against Warner Bros.‘Man of Steel follow-up, Batman vs. Superman. This sort of blockbuster clash of superheroes hasn’t been seen before, and has ultimately divided many portions of the community in support of one side. Many remain skeptical that Batman vs. Superman will actually arrive on that date, as the film was originally scheduled to debut on July 17, 2015, but Warner Bros., much like Marvel, says they’re not backing down.

“It doesn’t make a lot of…

Wreck-It Ralph may not have been a box office juggernaut on the order of Frozen, but it was still a pretty big hit when it landed in 2012. Talk of a potential Wreck-It Ralph sequel began swirling not long afterward, but there’s been no official confirmation that any such movie would actually happen — until now.

Composer Henry Jackman has revealed that a Wreck-It Ralph 2 is being written as we speak, although it remains a mystery when we’ll actually get to see the movie.

Yay! I loved Wreck-it Ralph so much and can’t wait for this!

The Battlestar Galactica movie has been rumored for some time, but today it’s taken a big step forward.

Universal has signed Transcendence (starring Johnny Depp) screenwriter Jack Paglen to pen the project, according to Variety. The report says that the film is a “complete reimagining” of the story. Series creator Glen Larson will produce the film.

Oh man, here’s the thing: the Battlestar Galactica reboot in 2003 was really good. At times it was even great. At no time was I bored or disappointed while watching (save for once). My only wish is that we could strike the last episode from…

So if you’ve been paying any attention to Agents of SHIELD (and if you haven’t, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?), you know that they have been gearing up for a seismic shift. In the last episode, you definitely got a glimpse and taste of things to come in this week’s episode. Allegiances were tested and broken, and weird things happened.

Well, after watching The Winter Soldier, I think it’s clear that what we saw in the last episode was nothing. Coulson and Co. are about to have a really, really bad day (and I am going to be slightly disappointed if a certain high-raking…

Are you guys sitting down? This is a staggering amount of money. Staggering. Captain America: The Winter Soldier has raked in $303.3 Million worldwide. That’s more than the majority of films make over their lifetime.

The domestic breakdown is $96.2 Million, while the foreign total is $207.1 Million, making this a truly international phenomenon.

Variety reports that the film made $37 Million on Friday night alone, breaking all previous Friday records in April:

With a Friday bow of $37 million, Disney-Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” not only obliterated its competition, but…

Mickey Rooney, a celebrated child actor who embodied the All-American boy in the “Andy Hardy” films of the 1930s and ‘40s and became one of the era’s top box-office draws, has died. He was 93.

Rooney, whose roller-coaster show-business career was marked by an often-turbulent personal life, died Sunday at his home in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Police Commander Andrew Smith and the Los Angeles County coroner’s office confirmed his death.

Rooney’s daughter-in-law Charlene Rooney said the actor died of natural causes Sunday afternoon at the home he shared with her and her husband, Mark…

Amazon today announced their own set-top box to compete with Apple TV and Roku. The $99 Amazon Fire TV Set-Top Box, which begins shipping today, features a quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM.

At the press event to announce the device, Amazon’s Peter Larsen claimed Fire TV improved on three problem points with current devices (Apple and Roku), allowing a better search experience (with voice search), enhanced performance (more ram, less lag), and an open ecosystem (run on an android os).

This is the first thing to come along that, in my estimation, actually offers any competition for the…

Columbia Pictures has set an April 17, 2015 release date for their comedy sequel Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, which stars Kevin James reprising his title role from 2009’s Paul Blart: Mall Cop. As of now, the sequel doesn’t have any direct competition, but it opens one week before Universal’s highly-anticipated sequel Fast & Furious 7.

The story is set in Las Vegas, where Paul and his daughter Maya (Raini Rodriguez) attend a security guard convention. Although he is constantly mocked by casino security, he joins forces with them to take down a dangerous group of art thieves.

Exhibit A in why we…
