Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan‘s Man of Steel zoomed past the $150 million mark in its fifth day of release at the domestic box office, enjoying robust weekday business.

The Superman tentpole, from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, scored the top June debut of all time in grossing $116.1 million. Including $12 million earned last Thursday night from special Walmart screenings, the pic ended Sunday with a total $128.7 million under its belt.

Man of Steel, based on the marquee D.C. Comics superhero, took in another $12.6 million on Monday and $11.5 million on Tuesday, pushing its…

As previously reported, HBO Go is indeed coming to Apple TV, effective Wednesday. Apple announced that WatchESPN and content from an assortment of other streaming providers are now available on the device as well.

Apple TV owners — at least, those with subscriptions to HBO and ESPN — have been able to stream content from those networks using iPhone or iPad devices (and AirPlay) for some time. The new integration simply saves them the need to pull out a secondary device.

This is good news for Apple TV users. The more ways we can access on demand content, the better. And as Apple TV is…

I have not spoken to J.J. He’s been busy with Star Trek, and I’m sure that he’ll let me know when he’s got some questions. So, you know, that’s all going well. Kathy tells me it’s working out great.

Not that Lucas minds all that much. “I think it’s great,” he said of passing on the torch. “I don’t have to worry about these guys any more.”

And unfortunately, I think it’s great to keep Lucas out of it at this point. He’s done enough damage to his franchise, let’s just keep his mitts off of it and it should be a lot better than anything we saw of the prequels.

Plus, I think Lucas’…

I already talked about part of what this linked article is about, but This part was interesting, and not what I mentioned before.

There is also the little matter of the “Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.” show airing this fall, but to keep things a bit simpler, it will run parallel to the movie world of Marvel. “It basically opens with the idea that since ‘The Avengers’ things have changed. Now everybody knows that there are gods and monsters, and what is the world like? It’s about being the people who aren’t super and what it is like for them,” Whedon shared. “There will be people with powers and…

Netflix and DreamWorks Animation on Monday unveiled a multiyear deal that will make the online streaming giant the premier home of new original TV series based on the studio’s characters and franchises.

The agreement is Netflix’s largest deal ever for original first-run content, they said. It allows DreamWorks Animation to launch original shows based on its characters and franchises into the TV market as a branded collection of shows.

DWA franchises currently include the likes of Shrek, Madagascar,Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon. Classic Media characters include…

When initially asked about his progress on the movie, Whedon gave a similar answer to what we’ve heard for some time: “I’ve turned in a first draft, but the story is very set. Everybody’s very much on board with the exact movie I’m trying to make which is what worked the first time.”

But when asked about a specific moment from the first film featuring Loki, Whedon became the bearer of bad news: “Immitating what I did before is the surest way to do it not as well. Second of all, and Loki is not there to say those terrible things.”

I think Whedon may have just tipped Thor: The Dark…

Talking to David Goyer, screenwriter for Man of Steel:

When pushed on the possibility of the Justice League movie following on directly from Man of Steel he elaborated,

It would be disingenuous to say Warner Bros doesn’t hope that this would be the starting point for a shared universe. And Zack has said that Bruce Wayne exists in this universe. It would be a different Bruce Wayne from Chris’ [Nolan] Dark Knight trilogy, and it would be disingenuous to say that Zack and I haven’t had various conversations on set, around ‘what if’ and ‘moving forward’.

That having been said, it’s all…

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg think the film industry is heading towards a cliff. The pair behind some of the most successful franchises in movie history think that conservative programming choices and rapidly evolving distribution schemes have set the stage for a massive upheaval — and internet-based services may become the dominant medium when moviegoing as we know it crashes and burns.

Crazy, right?

Barreling from opinion to opinion throughout the discussion, Lucas presented a clear vision of this post-crash entertainment landscape: a world where going to the movies is no…

Open Road Films will release JOBS – the highly anticipated film chronicling the story of Steve Jobs’ ascension from college dropout to one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of the 20th century – nationwide on August 16, 2013. JOBS details the major moments and defining characters that influenced Steve Jobs on a daily basis from 1971 through 2001.

The whole delay thing was a bit strange and I still have no idea why it happened. It’s not a good omen though. It was originally set to open to general audiences on April 16. They said they wanted more time to market the film, but this…
