BARBIE Just defeated Super Mario Bros as highest grossing movie of the year

BARBIE Just defeated Super Mario Bros as highest grossing movie of the year

, , , , , , , , , , 12

  Barbie has just defeated Super Mario Bros. as the highest-grossing film of the year. Since 2021, there has been both hype and negative speculation surrounding Greta Gerwig’s film, Barbie. Who would have thought that a movie that spent 9 years in development hell would become a box office hit, shattering records, selling numerous merchandise, and revitalizing Mattel’s iconic doll? As of the writing of this article, Barbie has raked in an astonishing $1,383,909,254. However, it’s important to note that Barbie is banned in several Islamic countries, as well as in Vietnam due to offense taken over the nine-dash line shown in the trailer. Additionally, many right-wing media outlets predicted its failure. Renowned movie critic John Campea, for instance, believed that while Barbie would be a box office success, it wouldn’t reach the billion-dollar mark. Yet, he was proven wrong. He also predicted that it wouldn’t surpass the box office record set by the Super Mario Bros. movie, which made $1.359,751,799 billion. However, Barbie has shattered records, becoming the highest-grossing

It’s been more than 100 days, and the writers are still on strike. Some of our TV shows are still running because they had episodes ready to go. But once those episodes run out, there won’t be any American shows on TV. There are movies that are finished and ready for theaters, but if those run out, we won’t have any new movies in 2024. Maybe Indie movies and foreign films. Unfortunately, we don’t have late-night talk shows anymore. That’s because the writers are all on strike. They’re not getting paid enough to make a living, and that’s why they’re protesting. While they can still make money from TV and movies, streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus aren’t giving them a fair deal. If you’re a writer for Netflix, you won’t be paid well. This happened before in 2006 because of the same issue and lasted for 100 days. It caused a lot of TV shows to be canceled, even though they were popular, and reality shows became a

Hidden Strike is an English Language Chinese movie. It is Chinese Cinema’s attempt to crossover around the world. China is the biggest market in the world and they make Billions of dollars yearly. Hollywood is always try to release movies in China because it gives them big profits. On the other hand China struggles to get an international Market.  There is a momentum in early 2000s with Crouching Tiger: Hidden Dragon and Hero. Then in 2010s we have  “The Great Wall” and “The Meg“. I am not surprised John Cena making a Chinese film because he loves Chinese culture. He even speaks Mandarin fluently.  Hidden Strike is directed by Scott Waugh who made “Need for Speed.” This is Jackie Chan’s English language comeback because it had been a long time since he mad one. The Foreigner  is the last English language film of Chan I remember. Mostly Jackie Chan make films for Mainland China because Hong Kong had issues with him.  The Trailer remind me a lot of Rush Hour but

Dead Island 2 will be available this April 21. Fans waited for 12 years to play this sequel because of the developmental hell it goes through, but the long wait is over. During the early trailers of this sequel, fans thought it was unrelated to the first game. The First Dead Island is set on a resort in Papua New Guinea called Banoi. This sequel is set in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. Sam B. One of the protagonists of the original game made a return in this sequel, but he won’t be playable. He may act more as a mentor for the playable characters. This one-hit Wonder, the rapper, makes sense to return because he is the only one who works for the entertainment industry. Los Angeles is the Epicenter of the entertainment industry. Logan is also an American, but he is not the Hollywood type of guy. Purna and Xian Mei are probably living their lives in Australia and China. The first game only has four survivors. Now we

Live Action Street Fighter movie is being Developed by Legendary pictures

Live Action Street Fighter movie is being Developed by Legendary pictures

Legendary Entertainment will be making a Live Action Street Fighter movie. The two live action Street Fighter movies scarred me for life. Although Raul Julia’s performance as M.Bison in the Street Fighter Movie (1994) was commendable, the movie itself was terrible. It spitted on the source material and it screams racism when they Demoted Ryu as main character. They do that in favor of the White Caucasian military guy, Guile. Capcom does not have a Good track record when it comes to letting other companies making movies out of their properties. Not a Single Resident Evil Live action movie is Good. The Second Attempt for a live action Street Fighter movie is Legend of Chun-li. Kristin Kreuk’s career was almost killed by that bad movie. During that era, Hollywood refused to put Asian males on centerstage, so they chose Chun-li instead because they considered Asian females more palatable. Chun-li’s story is easy to adapt since she is a cop from China who wants to avenge her father’s death. It is

  Hollywood’s is currently having a reputation for running out of unique ideas. “The Machine.” is a proof there are still fresh ideas out there. This adaptation, unlike many others that are based on books, comic books, or old TV episodes. The Machine originated from a stand-up comedy routine by Bert Kreischer. It’s notable that A Twilight fan fiction and a tweet feed inspired movies. Anything can be a source material if discovered by the right people. Thanks to the power of word of mouth, Kreischer’s skit went viral and caught the attention of Legendary Entertainment.  Yes that company famous for producing epic Kaiju movies. They acquired the film rights to the routine, and the result promises to be something truly unique. One thing that sets “The Machine” apart is that Kreischer will be playing himself , adding a meta twist to the story. It’s not the first time an actor has played themselves on screen, of course – John Malkovich and Nicolas Cage have both done it before. But

Debbie Reynolds Follows Daughter Carrie Fisher, Dies At 84

Debbie Reynolds Follows Daughter Carrie Fisher, Dies At 84

, , , 1

Carrie Fisher was royalty both on and off screen. She was the progeny of two 1950’s celebrities and one of the most successful actresses of the time period: her mother, Debbie Reynolds. Debbie passed today hours after her daughter’s own death. Reynolds was one of the last living stars of Old Hollywood. She was into gymnastics as a teenager and entered a beauty pageant in hopes of getting a free lunch. Instead she was discovered on the stage and hired by MGM, making her debut in Three Little Words before becoming a superstar with 1952’s Singin’ in the Rain. Despite her athletic background, Reynolds found the work wearying, remarking later that “The two hardest things I ever did in my life are childbirth and Singin’ In The Rain’.” That child was daughter Carrie, which she sired with the help of then-husband, singing sensation Eddie Fisher. Unfortunately this is where things take a bad turn: Fisher left Reynolds not long after to become Elizabeth Taylor’s fourth husband, making Reynolds a single
