Half a billion dollars in one weekend. Not bad for an industry everyone keeps insisting is dying. But the real story isn’t just the money—it’s how theaters are transforming into premium-first, event-driven experiences. From Sinners to Stitch, audiences are choosing spectacle, scale, and nostalgia over originality—and studios are more than happy to oblige.
James Gunn Is Willy Wonka, and Krypto Is the Golden Ticket

No, South Park Isn’t Getting 15 Episodes Banned
A viral rumor claims Paramount+ is banning 15 episodes of South Park when it hits the platform this July—but there's no evidence to support it. With a $900 million deal on the table and Trey Parker and Matt Stone notoriously anti-censorship, this moral panic looks more like fan-fueled fiction than fact.

First Blood Was About Trauma—Now It’s Just About Box Office
Hollywood once gave us John Rambo as a broken man haunted by war. Now they're turning him into just another action brand. With a prequel nobody asked for, the soul of First Blood is being buried under franchise bloat, IP hunger, and revisionist nostalgia.
Don’t Look Up: What Andor Gets Right That Superman Still Doesn’t
In a single day, Andor gave us a raw, defiant finale while Superman offered polished nostalgia. One challenges us to fight back against power. The other asks us to wait for someone stronger to save us. But in 2025, maybe it’s time we stop looking up—and start looking around.

As excitement builds for James Gunn’s Superman trailer, some fans are trying to shut down criticism before the footage even drops—circulating memes that encourage total silence toward “negative” opinions.
