Aquaman, the much-mocked underdog superhero, long dissed as the one who merely “talks to fish,” leads the highest-grossing DC Extended Universe movie at the global box office. Aquaman has just passed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in worldwide ticket sales. As of Saturday, the Warner Bros. release has grossed $887 million since its release last month, edging out Batman v Superman‘s cumulative $873 million. The King of Atlantis has been helped enormously by overseas interest, with international sales responsible for 75 percent of the films revenue — a significantly greater percentage than the other DCEU titles (China leads the way, where Aquaman has grossed a whopping $279 million to become the country’s second-biggest superhero film of all time behind Avengers: Infinity War. In fact, if you only look at international popularity, not domestic, Aquaman is the biggest DC Universe movie — not just the Extended Universe — so even more popular than The Dark Knight overseas. ...

Robert Downey Jr may have spoiled the Avengers: Endgame title in a previous interview for Age of Ultron. There has been a lot of retro-analysis going on around the internet ever since the title for the upcoming Avengers flick, Avengers: Endgame, filled our phone screens at the end of the film’s first trailer. People have gone back and pointed out the few times that the term “end game” has been spoken by Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in previous films, leaving many to speculate that “Endgame” has been the planned subtitle for the upcoming project for some time. Well, here is more fuel for that fire. In a long-forgotten interview for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr, also threw out the phrase “end game.” The superstar was referring to his character’s motivation behind building Ultron in the second Avengers film: “He’s working on a system that will make it so that the Avengers really don’t have to do what they’ve been doing all along, which purportedly sho...

However you feel about them, comic book movies are more popular than ever. While the genre has had a regular presence in Hollywood for about 20 years or so, within the last decade, the amount that are released per year have skyrocketed. No longer are we living in an age where we were lucky to get just one Marvel or DC movie per year; it's become commonplace to not just expect some to be released during the summer, but also during other seasons. 2019 will bring eight movies based on existing comic book material, with Marvel and DC once more leading the charge and Dark Horse even getting some screen time. Read on to find out what's on the way! Captain Marvel Release Date: March 8 Carol Danvers has been an important player in the Marvel Comics universe for decades, and now she's finally getting a platform in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But rather than introduce her in the present day like nearly every other MCU hero, Captain Marvel is winding the clock back to 19...

Its a brand new year, that means its time for new awards season in Hollywood, as the journey to February 24’s Oscars ceremony ramps up this week with the first high-profile pit-stop for contenders SUNDAY’S GOLDEN GLOBAlS AWARDS. Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born continues to be the one to beat in the Best Picture race, with five total Golden Globe nominations, including Best Picture (Drama), but a Star is born also leads a pack not often seen competing for Best Picture in recent years popular films. Oscar voters can nominate up to 10 films for Best Picture (although they’ve only nominated the full 10 twice, in 2010 and 2011), and typically bigger blockbuster fare fails to crack the race. This leaves a disconnect between Hollywood’s top-grossing movies, that audiences can see easily, and the independent and prestige studio films that have smaller theatrical releases but tend to be favored by critics and voters. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences attempted to rectify ...

Aquaman has officially passed Wonder Woman at the box office. In less than a month, the DC universe has truly found its savior. Arthur Curry had won the hearts of fans as the King of Atlantis, but the character hadn't truly had the chance to shine in a proper way until now. And audiences are really taking to it, as Aquaman continues to rake in the cash all over the world. With the New Year's Day box office factored in, Aquaman has now grossed $216.3 million domestically and $606.5 million overseas, bringing its worldwide total of $822.9 million. That puts it just ahead of Wonder Woman, which managed to bring in $821.8 million last year. However, director Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman made quite a bit more domestically, as the movie grossed $412.6 million here in the states. The fact that, Aquaman is still the lowest grossing movie in the current DC franchise domestically, still sitting behind Justice League ($229 million). That important distinction aside, Aquaman is on...

What started with The Conjuring in 2013 has grown organically into a connected universe with spinoffs of the mainline films that are now spawning sequels of their own. While we'll probably have to wait until 2020 for The Conjuring 3, the next sequel in The Conjuring universe arrives this year in the form of Annabelle 3. Unlike the other spinoffs to date in this universe, Annabelle 3 will actually feel like a new Conjuring film according to producer James Wan, who said: "I think by the very nature of Patrick and Vera being in it, I would say somewhat, yes, because in Annabelle 3 the doll comes back to the Warren's home. It finally comes to the Warren's home so by the very nature of it actually being in the home and the story takes place in the Warren's home, it feels more like a Conjuring film in that respect". It sounds like the very nature of the story in Annabelle 3 will make it feel like a new Conjuring film. Prior to Annabelle 3, Patrick Wilson an...
