Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine delivered $54.2m in its third weekend as the newly crowned $1bn global smash surged to $494.3m in North America, staying top ahead of a spectacular $50m debut for Sony’s romantic drama It Ends With Us.
It was a great weekend for the Ryan Reynolds-Blake Lively household that maintained an encouraging summer season and for the first time saw two films earn $50m or more in the same weekend in the traditionally slow month of August. Studios will confirm numbers on Monday.
Active in 4,330 locations, Deadpool & Wolverine overtook Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on $454m...

Remember the halcyon days of 2010? The Marvel Cinematic Universe was still in its infancy, but much was already being made of any superhero movie that felt even slightly different from the future juggernaut's quippy origin stories. Future DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn's name was already in the middle of conversations about superhero ethics thanks to his new film "Super," while fans of Alan Moore's "Watchmen" comics were still debating the merits and myriad drawbacks of Zack Snyder's big-screen adaptation. From "The Spirit" to "Hancock," recent alternative superhero stories were actively dividing audiences who had yet to lay eyes on a single "Avengers" film.
Then "Kick-Ass" showed up. The R-rated action-comedy featured a scrappy teen hero, a little girl who loved to beat the s**t out of people, a fittingly odd Nicolas Cage performance, and the unofficially cinematic mascot of the late aughts, "Superbad" breakout star Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

Patrick Lussier's 2011 film "Drive Angry" might belong to a genre hereby designated "neo-grindhouse." There was a wave of films in the late 2000s and early 2010s that sought to evoke the style or the content of a very specific type of exploitation movie that was popular in the 1970s. In addition to the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez 2007 twofer "Grindhouse" and its spinoffs, films like "Redline," "The Man with the Iron Fists," "Turbo Kid," "Kung Fury," "Hatchet," "Torque," "Deathgasm," "House of the Devil," and "The Love Witch" popped up on the regular.
"Drive Angry" gleefully embraced its goofy, action/horror premise with aplomb. A dead race car driver named (sigh) John Milton (Nicolas Cage) escapes the clutches of Hell having stolen Satan's persona gun, a device called the Godkiller. On his tail is Satan's Accountant (William Fichtner), assigned with nabbing John and dragging him back to Hell. John,...

Spoiler Alert: This post contains plot details for Deadpool & Wolverine.
Robert Downey Jr. was close to reprising his Iron Man role in Deadpool & Wolverine.
In a new interview, co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick reveal that Downey was written into one of the scenes and even read for it. However, Downey turned down the part as he was already in talks to return to the MCU as Doctor Doom.
“We had wanted him to do a cameo. We had written that scene [to start] with Happy and Downey,” Wernick told IndieWire in a recent interview.
Downey was to reprise his role of Tony Stark in a scene at the beginning of the film where Reynolds’ Deadpool uses a time machine to jump into the Sacred Timeline to pitch the idea of joining the Avengers. The scene also featured the Merc with a Mouth meeting with Jon Favreau’s Happy Hogan, which...

Tom Waits is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his 13th studio album, Mule Variations. To help mark the occasion, the reclusive rocker has released a new version of the fourth track, “Get Behind the Mule.” Stream it below.
A stripped-down take on the song, “Get Behind the Mule (Spiritual)” features Waits solely accompanied by a Wurlitzer, adding a new dimension to the ominous tale of murder and going on the run.
Mule Variations arrived in April 1999 via Epitaph Records sister label Anti- Records, which was formed specifically to release the album. It won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album, with the third track “Hold On” receiving a nomination for Best Male Rock Performance.
“I am filled with gratitude for Tom Waits and his album, Mule Variations, which didn’t just start our label; it sparked a lasting partnership built on trust, creativity, and a love for pushing artistic boundaries,...

Deadpool & Wolverine is, it's fair to say, absolutely loaded with cameo appearances, with more Marvel characters showing up from franchises past than you can shake a Peter at (steady). Yet there are always the ones that got away. According to actor/co-writer Ryan Reynolds, he came close to convincing Nicolas Cage – or as his younger alter ego might put it, Nic fuckiiiiiiing Cage – to don his spiky leather jacket and flame-sporting skull to return as Johnny Blaze, Aka Ghost Rider.
Talking with Collider, Reynolds admitted that it had at least gotten to the two actors discussing the idea. "Yes," Reynolds says, adding, "Came to a conversation for sure. Yeah, but no."

Nicolas Cage comes from one of film’s most esteemed families. His uncle is Francis Ford Coppola (“The Godfather”) and his aunt is actress Talia Shire. Not wanting to appear like his career was the productive of nepotism, when he started acting he took the name Cage from one of his favorite comic book characters, Marvel’s Luke Cage.
Cage’s film career started off quite auspiciously with a small role in the popular comedy “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” when he was just 18 years old. He followed that up with a lead role in the cult classic “Valley Girl.” Both films interestingly dealt with the life of teenagers in the Los Angeles suburbs of the San Fernando Valley.
For his third film Cage would finally agree to work with his uncle when he appeared in Coppola’s “Rumble Fish,” followed the following year by Coppola’s “The Cotton Club.

The box office is still relying heavily on “Deadpool and Wolverine” to get us through the slower month of summer, but this weekend could offer an unlikely surprise. Read on for Gold Derby’s box office preview.
After two weeks at #1 and hitting $400 million domestic, “Deadpool and Wolverine” may finally have some competition, though it’s going to be tough to beat if it’s able to make $50 million or more in its third weekend, which is definitely possible.
Who better than to take on Ryan Reynolds‘ mega-blockbuster than Reynolds’ own wife, Blake Lively, starring in the romantic drama “It Ends With Us,” based on the best-selling novel by Colleen Hoover from 2016, which sold over a million copies worldwide by 2019 but only debuted as #1 in the New York Times bestsellers list in January 2022, thanks to a surge via TikTok.

Seventeen years after we last followed historian, cryptographer, and treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates (played by Nicolas Cage) on an adventure, we might finally be getting a new sequel to the 2004 film National Treasure and its 2007 follow-up National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets. Although producer Jerry Bruckheimer said two years ago that there was a “really good” script in place and awaiting Cage’s approval, it must not have met his approval, because screenwriter Ted Elliott revealed to the National Treasure Hunt podcast that he has been working on the project for the last year and recently completed his first draft of the script.
During his interview on the podcast, Elliott confirmed that his script is complete and ready for revisions and teased that he has written “familiar faces” into the story beyond the returning main characters of Ben Gates, computer expert and author Riley Poole (Justin Bartha), Dr. Abigail...

This post contains spoilers for "Deadpool & Wolverine."
"Deadpool & Wolverine" uses the power of a well-placed nostalgic cameo and weaponizes them in the same way "Spider-Man: No Way Home" does, delivering a hugely entertaining experience that also serves as a love letter to Marvel's past. The film is a thank you to audiences that stuck with the genre through the decades, through the good movies and the bad.
From turning Deadpool and Wolverine's journey into the unapologetically gay movie Marvel keeps failing to deliver, to giving one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most solemn actors a chance to go back to a beloved yet goofy role that culminates into a parade of profanity echoing Steve Martin's car rental scene in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," the movie does pick its cameos and roles really well in order to deliver something outrageously funny.

In the many multiverse stories that the Marvel Cinematic Universe can partake in, Deadpool is one character who can truly be unhinged with his elements as the character’s nature always involves breaking the fourth wall for the sake of humor. The latest moneymaker in the universe, Deadpool & Wolverine, is demonstrating that to a great degree as fans are treated to a variety of cameo appearances that play both for humor as well as a meta commentary for their time as a franchise in their own universe.
Now that the film has been out for weeks, those involved with the movie have shown their appreciation for the opportunity to revisit fan favorites or finally give closure to those characters, thanks to the power of producer and star Ryan Reynolds. Collider got a chance to question both Reynolds and Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy on the cameos that didn’t get to make the movie.

While fans were happy to see them reprise their iconic roles, some of them are also wondering whether there were more actors that the film was also planning to bring back before they settled with the aforementioned stars.

A24 is collaborating once again with Dream Scenario director Kristoffer Borgli, with Zendaya and Robert Pattinson on board for The Drama.
There was plenty of critical acclaim for Kristoffer Borgli’s 2023 offbeat drama Dream Scenario. The film starred Nicolas Cage as a college professor who becomes a global celebrity when he starts appearing in everybody’s dreams across the globe. The film possessed that trademark unconventionality that we’ve come to expect from A24 films and scored some good reviews too.
As such – despite publicly expressing a desire to movie its projects further into the mainstream – there was always a chance that A24 would want to be involved in Borgli’s next project. It looks like the studio will get to have its cake and eat it, given that the filmmaker is set to sign up two major names for his next film, simply titled The Drama.

When rumours first emerged that the Deadpool Corps would be appearing in Deadpool & Wolverine, fans naturally thought Walker Scobell would be a shoo-in for Kidpool, but it didn’t happen. According to director Shawn Levy, Scobell would have had the role if it weren’t for one little thing: puberty.
“If Walker Scobell had stopped evolving right before puberty, he absolutely would’ve been Kidpool,” Levy told Entertainment Weekly. “It was his dream. Ryan and I reached out to him once we realized he was now going to be too old, both too tall and with his voice too low. Puberty is what it is, and all the Hollywood dreams in the world can’t stop it. So we did call Walker and explain why he couldn’t be Kidpool, and he was completely understanding.“

[Editor’s note: The following story contains spoilers for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’]
“Deadpool & Wolverine” features plenty of celebrities reprising their roles as forgotten superheroes of yesteryear. But if Ryan Reynolds had his way, the band of outcasts would have also featured Nicolas Cage’s Ghost Rider.
Reynolds told Collider that Cage returning as Ghost Rider was among his dream list of cameos for the multiverse film. When asked if Cage was among those he reached out to to star, Reynolds said, “Yes,” and added, “Came to a conversation for sure. Yeah, but no.”
Cage led 2007 film “Ghost Rider” and its 2012 sequel “Spirit of Vengeance.”
Without Ghost Rider, “Deadpool & Wolverine” instead marked the return of Chris Evans’s Johnny Storm, Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, and Wesley Snipes’ Blade. Evans played Storm in 2005’s “Fantastic Four” and the 2007 sequel “Rise of the Silver Surfer,” while Garner appeared in 2003’s “Daredevil” and 2005’s “Elektra.” Snipes iconically led the “Blade” trilogy from...

Collider recently sat down with Deadpool & Wolverine star Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy to talk spoilers and started by asking the duo whether the movie will get an extended cut a la Deadpool 2.
"This is the cut of the movie. There will be no extended cut because this is the cut that we wanted," Levy stated before the actor chimed in to joke, "I had to ask Shawn about doing a Snyder Cut, and he didn’t seem to feel like that was appropriate or warranted."
While the door is closed on the "Levy Cut," the filmmaker promises, "There are, however, a small handful of deleted scenes which will be included, as well as a commentary by Ryan and I and a really good gag reel."

Freddie Prinze Jr. has candidly shared insights into his enduring marriage with Sarah Michelle Gellar, revealing the keys to their relationship’s longevity.
The couple first met on the set of the 1997 film “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and tied the knot in 2002. Reflecting on their two-decade-long marriage, Freddie highlighted essential elements that have contributed to their success.
In 2022, during an appearance on “The Kyle and Jackie O Show,” the 47-year-old actor discussed his marriage, expressing initial hesitations about offering relationship advice. He then shared a unique perspective on why their union has been so successful.
Freddie humorously noted the significance of his culinary skills, saying, “The reason why I think Sarah and I work is because my mom was a chef and I learned how to cook, and I married someone who couldn’t cook. So I’m necessary. She needs me to live and sustain herself.

Nicolas Cage has turned around his film career in recent years, starring in more indie films. He was recently seen in one of the most terrifying films of the year, Longlegs. Cage earlier starred in Dream Scenario, which earned him a nomination at this year’s Golden Globes. Cage’s script selection has been receiving praise ever since the critical acclaim for 2018’s Mandy.

Cage revealed that his experiments with his roles usually scared the big studios, which pushed him to the indie film scene. The Moonstruck actor must have realized that his role as a melancholic truffle forager in Pig would’ve never sat well with these big studios.

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine.
Deadpool & Wolverine brought back a host of Marvel Legacy characters that have been absent from the screen since way before the MCU. Be it Jennifer Garner’s Elektra from 2003’s Daredevil, Wesley Snipes from the Blade trilogy, or Chris Evans’ Human Torch from Fantastic Four (2005), these characters had been mostly absent from the public zeitgeist since the dawn of the MCU in 2008. Not only that, but these characters were already kinda old when Robert Downey Jr. began his work as Iron Man in the MCU.

Marvel’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” (Disney) grossed $97 million on its second weekend, representing a 54 percent drop. That’s in line with other blockbuster openings and an impressive achievement. Disney now has all four of the top weekend totals this year, including the first two weekends of “Inside Out 2.” (The Pixar smash fell only 34 percent its second weekend).
That gets the third “Deadpool” (and the eighth Hugh Jackman “Wolverine”) movie to $395 million domestic and $824 million worldwide by its second weekend, the best of 2024. Whether it bests “Inside Out 2” (currently $627 million) for #1 for the year remains uncertain. “Inside Out 2” is closing in on “Barbie,” which ended up at $636 million last year, but that’s a trivia point; much more important is what these films brought to the struggling 2024 box office.
Unadjusted, “Deadpool 2” has outgrossed any previous R-rated release. However, higher ticket prices distorts this alleged record; it’s...

For more than 15 years studios have done their best to avoid releasing their new movies on the second weekend of a Marvel movie. This weekend we learned the reason why. Read on for the weekend box office report.
As expected, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman‘s “Deadpool and Wolverine” won its second weekend in a row, topping the box office with an estimated $97 million, down 54% from its record-setting opening weekend. Not only did “Deadpool and Wolverine” cross the $300 million milestone domestically this past weekend, but with $395.6 million grossed in North America, it’s only a day away from hitting the $400 million benchmark, so the race is on to see if it can catch up to Pixar’s “Inside Out 2.”
Globally, the movie has passed the $800 million mark, adding another $110.5 million overseas this weekend for an international total of $428.5 million. With $824.1 million global, it has already passed the worldwide grosses...

Marvel Studios announced Avengers: Doomsday at San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, with Robert Downey Jr. set to make his MCU return as the villainous Doctor Doom. As we know, this next Avengers movie - previously titled "The Kang Dynasty" - was shaping up to be a very different film prior to Kang actor Jonathan Majors' firing, and we may now have a better idea of what the story would have focused on.
We've already heard that both Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine were going to play a major role, and scooper Mttsh has now shared some more details.
According to this breakdown, all three Spideys would have been revealed to be the Anchor Beings of their respective universes along with Logan and several others, including Nicolas Cage's Ghost Rider.

We all know who Superman is.
Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster in 1938, wasn't the first superhero character in modern media, but he tends to be held up as one of the genre's central archetypes. His red wrestler's cape and red strong man's trunks, paired with his super strength and ability to defy gravity, have all become central symbols of what a superhero is, how a superhero should behave, and what a superhero looks like. Hundreds of thousands of superheroes have been invented since 1938, but many of those produced by mainstream comics outlets like Marvel or DC owe Superman a direct debt. In the same way that every on-screen Dracula is a riff on Bela Lugosi's performance in Tod Browning's 1931 movie, Superman is either being enhanced or subverted by every comic book superhero character. But he is the mainstay.

British royal family news divulges that the late Queen Elizabeth has a friend in Snoop Dogg. The rapper who has been hanging out at the 2024 Paris Olympics told UK radio station Capital FM that the late monarch was “my girl.”
Jordan North was interviewing Snoop (Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.) in London last week when the convo turned to the singer’s extracurricular activities. Snoop said “I’ll go by the palace, see if they let me in.”
Royal Family News: Did Snoop Dog Go To Buckingham Palace?
“Hopefully I can get in” Snoop added. “Rest in peace to the Queen, that was my girl. You know what I’m saying? So, just may want to go up and, you know, see what you do.”

From comic book extravaganzas to intimate indies, a wide variety of films found success at the box office this weekend. Deadpool & Wolverine continued breaking records with a global haul surpassing $630 million, while Longlegs impressed critics and audiences with its unnerving atmosphere.
Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in their first superhero team-up, crossed another milestone with its international total now over $332 million. Domestically, it became the highest-grossing R-rated film ever with $298.4 million to date. Jackman congratulated Reynolds on Instagram for their collaboration’s “phenomenal” response.
Another smash was Inside Out 2, which has now earned over $1 billion worldwide – a first for 2022. Pixar’s heartwarming sequel about the emotions inside a girl’s head brought in $6.1 million on Friday for a projected $98 million second weekend total. With its humor and heart, Inside Out 2 looks poised to surpass Frozen II as the highest-grossing animated film.

One of the most talked-about films at the moment is the critically acclaimed horror thriller Longlegs. Starring scream queen Maika Monroe as an FBI agent given the task of tracking down an occult serial killer, this film is easily one of the best horror flicks to be released this year. And guess what? Moviegoers have the chance to see it for free in theaters! But wait... There's a catch!
Not every moviegoer will be able to see this box-office hit for free. For a limited time only, Neon is offering free tickets to see Longlegs in theaters only to people who were born on the 14th of any month. If you haven't seen the horror thriller yet, you're probably confused about the importance of this date. Of course, we're not going to spoil its significance here. You'll just have to go see Longlegs in theaters to find out.
The promotion only lasts from Aug.

Osgood Perkins’ “Longlegs” has not needed any help at the box office, but it is getting some anyway. And in true “Longlegs” (and Perkins) fashion, the plan is perfectly creepy.
Distributor Neon is partnering with Atom Tickets to offer free tickets to “Longlegs” for anyone who has a birthday that falls on the 14th of any given month. Sounds weird until you see the film — or at least know Nicolas Cage’s character’s propensity to kill.
In the horror film, Maika Monroe plays an FBI agent decoding a series of occult clues to track Cage’s serial killer character. She discovers he only targets victims who were born on the 14th. The giveaway makes for a fun little easter egg for fans, and a good carrot to entice those who haven’t yet seen it. Birthdate pending, of course.
