This ‘Elio’ Deleted Scene Hints at an Alternate Version of the Movie

Pixar’s latest film, Elio, may not have been a box office success, but once it comes home, audiences are going to discover they missed something special. The story of a young boy who travels to space and is forced to save his planet by befriending a group of aliens is funny, exciting, and extremely heartfelt. Yes, it had a long trip to the finish line, but once it got there, it stuck the landing. Elio is coming to digital download on Tuesday, August 19, ahead of its physical release on Septembe

Rumored F1 movie digital release date points to imminent launch ahead of Apple TV+ debut

A new rumor claims Apple’s F1 movie will be available to own digitally on Friday. However, there are two reasons to be skeptical. The source of the rumor is the aptly named website When To Stream. It claims that F1 will come to PVOD, or premium video on demand, starting this Friday. Forbes notes that the website is “typically accurate for its PVOD reports,” but neither Apple nor Warner Bros. has announced a date. Apple’s F1 movie is already out of the average 45 day window between the theatric

We Finally Know When Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ Will Hit Theaters and Netflix

It takes a very special Netflix movie to get a theatrical release before hitting the streamer, and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is certainly that. Netflix just announced it’ll release the monster movie in select theaters on October 17 before debuting on the platform November 7. Now, there’s no word yet on just how “select” the “select theaters” will be. Is it two screens? Is it 2,000? If we look back at Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, another major film to get a similar t

‘KPop Demon Hunters 2’ is Looking More Likely

Since KPop Demon Hunters came out in June and took the world by storm, fans have been clamoring for more. Netflix sure would like to, given how well this one film’s performed, but it seems to be a question of whether the stars will align for it and Sony to make a sequel together. In a recent story from Puck’s Matt Belloni, he lays out some of the film’s financials, namely that it cost Sony over $100 million to produce, and only about $20 million is going to the studio, even with the film’s brie

‘Stranger Things’ creators may be leaving Netflix

Netflix could soon lose the creative team behind one of its biggest hits. Earlier this week, Variety and other Hollywood publications reported that Matt and Ross Duffer, the brothers who created “Stranger Things” (and wrote and directed many episodes), were in talks to sign an exclusive deal with Paramount (now under the ownership of David Ellison’s Skydance). Then on Friday evening, Puck’s Matthew Belloni posted that the Duffers had in fact “made their choice” and were going to Paramount. The

Thank God, Regina Hall and Anna Faris Are Back for the ‘Scary Movie’ Reboot

Scary Movie making a comeback was welcome if not entirely surprising news—with Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Final Destination all getting new entries, it only made sense that the series that spoofed them also returned. And now it’s been confirmed that Regina Hall and Anna Faris—who played besties Brenda and Cindy across the series—will be back to star. Hall and Faris appeared in all the Scary Movie films except for Scary Movie 5, which hit theaters in 2016. Their reunion for Sca

Does Steven Spielberg’s ‘AI: Artificial Intelligence’ Play Differently Today?

Rewatching Steven Spielberg’s 2001 film AI: Artificial Intelligence, it feels as plausible as ever, but also more misguided. In 2001, AI was barely a thought in everyday life. It was the thing that destroyed the world in Terminator, and still a lofty goal in tech circles. Today, as the technology continues to grow and dominate daily conversation in almost every way, you may expect to watch the film and have a slightly new perspective. Some change in insight. Instead, the film falters as Spielber

The First Look at S.S. Rajamouli’s Next Film Is a Motorbiking, Spiked-Ball-Swinging Mystery

The mastermind behind RRR, the incredible blast of a Tollywood blockbuster that caused an international craze, S.S. Rajamouli, is making his cinematic return. And while it’s not for the long-gestating sequel talk for RRR, the filmmaker promises a new icon set to speed his way across the world in his next film, seemingly potentially called Globetrotter, starring Telugu movie star Mahesh Babu. In a clip posted to S.S. Rajamouli’s Instagram, we get a super mysterious first look at the movie, which

The 15 Best Genre Movies of Summer 2025 (and Where to Watch Them)

A few short weeks remain in the 2025 summer movie season, and we have to say, it’s been a pretty great one. Lots of the big blockbusters really delivered.

Below, we’ve got our choices for the 15 best genre movies released during the summer of 2025, from the first weekend in May through the end of August. 15.

I’m Watching Every Conjuring Movie Before 'The Conjuring: Last Rites.' Here’s Where to Stream Them All

When The Conjuring debuted in 2013, directed by James Wan, the movie felt like a throwback to atmospheric 1970s horror flicks such as The Changeling or The Manitou. From its simple opening title card -- yellow text on a black background -- to its relatively little gore and slow build of suspense, The Conjuring was a breath of fresh air. It arrived at a time when the horror genre was rampant with gruesome movies like Saw (which was also directed by Wan) and Hostel. The Conjuring kick-started not

13 Horror Movies You Really Need to Stream on HBO Max

New Apple TV+ movie starring Denzel Washington gets highest 2 lowest reviews

With just two days to go until its theatrical release, the first reviews for Highest 2 Lowest are in. Here’s what critics have to say about the new Spike Lee movie, featuring Denzel Washington.

The new War of the Worlds movie is even more terrible than you’ve heard but also hilarious

There’s a micro-genre of film called “screenlife movies,” where all of the action takes place on a desktop computer. In 2014, Unfriended made a horror movie out of video chat and text messages, and it was successful enough to inspire a sequel. The more thoughtful Searching from 2018, in which a father attempts to find his missing daughter, felt novel and a bit more promising for the genre, even if an hour and a half really tested the amount of time you could look at a scrunched John Cho and Mac

Do We Have to Bring Johnny Depp Back to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, Actually?

Back in 2003, when Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl first hit theaters, it was a pleasant surprise. A movie based on a Disney ride—in a time when pirate movies weren’t exactly riding high—it was highly entertaining, made a zillion dollars, and earned Johnny Depp his first Oscar nomination. Four sequels of varying quality followed, but despite many rumblings since Dead Men Tell No Tales in 2017, Pirates has yet to relaunch. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is now saying there migh

James Cameron Wants to Remind You That Generative AI Is a Threat

As the industry behind generative AI keeps touting its evolution, Hollywood stands on a precipice to see just who’s going to be first to break ground leveraging the controversial technology in film production (although, reportedly, not for a lack of trying and failing behind the scenes). But for James Cameron, at least, the current will-they-won’t-they approach is untenable—and the filmmaker believes that studios have to start getting a grip with the technology now, before it irrevocably damages

Why AI Shouldn’t Replace Historians Anytime Soon

Microsoft recently released a study about the types of jobs most likely to be augmented by AI in the future. It led many people to assume those are the jobs that will soon be replaced by machines, and since “historian” ranked second highest on the list, it raised more than a few eyebrows among historians on social media. But after I tested generative AI tools with some historical facts, it seems like historians shouldn’t worry too much about the robots taking over just yet. At the very least, th

‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Will Return to Theaters for a Sing-Along Special

If you’ve been wanting to see KPop Demon Hunters on the big screen, then good news—especially if you can’t stop singing Huntr/X’s best hits to yourself. THR reports that Netflix will return the smash hit animated movie to theaters later this month for a limited time. Tickets for Netflix’s hit film are being sold for screenings currently slated for Saturday, August 23, and Sunday, August 24. These showings will be sing-along events, meaning lyrics for the movie’s songs will pop up on screen for

Here’s How to Watch the Original Naked Gun Movies in Order in One Convenient Place

The Naked Gun series was a staple in my household when I was growing up. I rented the movies so regularly that my parents gave me the trilogy on DVD for Christmas one year. So when a reboot, or legacy sequel, titled The Naked Gun was announced, I was excited. And apparently, I wasn't the only one -- according to Box Office Mojo, the film generated nearly $17 million at the box office domestically in its opening weekend. Plus, The Naked Gun 2025 has a whopping 90% critic rating and 76% audience s

The Ending of ‘Weapons’ Is Very Personal to Zach Cregger

You can’t watch a movie like Weapons and not sense that parts of it come from deep within a person. The portrayals of family, fear, and loss—it’s all heartbreaking and scary even before you get to the chills and thrills. Writer-director Zach Cregger fully admits the film was written as a way for him to cope with the loss of a good friend, but his personal connections to the material go even beyond that. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Cregger talked about some of the big reveals in the final act of th

Alison Brie Wants to Make a Return to ‘Scream’

Denzel Washington is keeping quiet about his Black Panther 3 role. David S. Goyer teases the origins of the Blob for its new remake. Plus, the stars of Resident Alien hope for a movie to cap off the series. Spoilers, away! Black Panther 3 When asked by Screen Rant about his rumored role in Black Panther 3, Denzel Washington only answered, “That’s between me and [director] Ryan [Coogler].” Scream 7 During her recent appearance on the Shut Up Evan podcast (via Deadline), Alison Brie stated she

‘Weapons’ Runs to Big $70M Global Opening in Debut Weekend

“Are you watching?” asks a creepy voice in the trailer for Weapons. And the answer to that question is a resounding “yes.” Per Variety, Zach Cregger’s sophomore outing earned $70 million worldwide. Domestically, its $42.5 million take was $10 million ahead of projections, and its overall take marks another win for New Line and parent company Warner Bros. Since Minecraft’s release in April, the studio has been on a money making hot streak thanks to Final Destination Bloodlines, F1: The Movie, Si

According to Deadline , Ben Zazove and Evan Turner (The Out-Laws) are now on board to write the movie for Warner Bros.' New Line Cinema.

Zach Cregger’s Dream DC Movie Would Take After a Great ‘Batman’ Episode

Zach Cregger’s got Weapons out this weekend, but the man apparently never stops working. Not only is he working on a new Resident Evil movie, but he’s also cooked up an idea for DC Studios that we now know a little bit more about. According to the Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision newsletter, Cregger’s DC movie is currently known as Henchman. The pitch? The trade’s sources say a low-level goon in Gotham City manages to take down Batman thanks to “a stroke of luck,” after which he becomes the tal

James Cameron Will Keep Making ‘Avatar’ Movies Whether You Want Him to or Not

Nothing is slowing down the Avatar franchise, not even James Cameron’s other cinematic projects. While there has been recent momentum on films beyond the upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash—he’s currently developing two features, The Ghosts of Hiroshima and The Devils—make no mistake: he’s still all in with Pandora. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Cameron talked about why he is so committed to the world of Avatar and it’s not (just) because the films make the big bucks every time one is rel

A Misconfiguration That Haunts Corporate Streaming Platforms Could Expose Sensitive Data

Top streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ have made sustained investments over the years to lock their content down. Whenever they can, they prevent users from accessing videos without a subscription or watching region-blocked content. New findings presented today at the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas, though, indicate that streaming platforms used for things like internal corporate broadcasts and sports livestreams can contain basic design flaws that allow anyone to access a vast
