The first trailer for Mortal Kombat II — yes, there was a first one — is heavy on meta humor and, as you’d expect, on action. And it doesn’t look like it’s skimping on the gore. The good news is that the new movie will focus on the titular tournament when it hits theaters in October. Even better: Karl Urban is shaping up to be an excellent Johnny Cage.

Disney Plus is continuing to take steps into the world of live streaming, this time to promote The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

For the rest of us, the movie hits theaters on July 25th.

We’re All Gonna Die director Freddie Wong uploaded the movie to torrent networks with an exclusive intro message, on the same day it was released for digital download. Wong hopes viewers will support future filmmaking efforts by buying a lousy JPEG that proudly proclaims their pirate nature. Yarrr.

That certainly seems like the premise of Pixar’s next feature, Hoppers, where people can inhabit 3D-printed versions of animals and live amongst the real ones in the wild. It also has a bit of a Wild Robot vibe, which isn’t a bad thing. Hoppers hits theaters on March 6th, 2026.

A sequel to Warner Bros.’ 2021 Mortal Kombat movie (which you definitely remember) is hitting theaters on October 24th. And when the movie’s first trailer drops tomorrow, we’ll be able to see whether Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage and Tati Gabrielle’s Jade are something to get excited about.

Next year’s Supergirl movie promises to be a little more rough and ready than Superman, so this first official look at the film suits it well.

Director James Gunn’s DCU reboot scored $122 million in the US this weekend, the best launch ever for a Superman solo pick, and the biggest comic opening since Deadpool & Wolverine.

Luma, the AI startup whose video generation tool almost immediately started churning out IP-infringing slop when it launched last year, is opening up a “combined meeting, coworking and educational” space in Los Angeles, per The Hollywood Reporter. The venue’s meant to give filmmakers a place where they can experiment with this technology, which has produced pretty lackluster output so far.

After years of working as NASA’s film liaison, Bert Ulrich is reportedly heading to Space 11 Corp — a studio focused on making cinematic projects about and sometimes set in outer space — where he will serve as executive vice president of production development and communications.

The record-breaking animated film is going to be hitting theaters in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand on August 22nd, this time with dialogue in English.

The racing drama is now Apple’s highest-grossing movie to date after generating $293 million at the global box office over the last ten days, overtaking the $221 million total intake set by Ridley Scott’s Napoleon in 2023. It’s a short leaderboard given that Apple has only released five films theatrically, however, and it already covers the $250 million that F1 cost to produce.

Netflix only released the Sony-animated K-Pop Demon Hunters movie two weeks ago, but its catchy soundtrack is already beating out established K-pop artists in the US. “Your Idol” by the Saja Boys — the movie’s villainous and entirely fictional boy band backed by some respected voices — hit No.2 on the US Spotify chart Thursday, dethroning BTS as the highest-charting K-pop band in US Spotify history.

From director Julian Glander (Summer Camp Island), Boys Go to Jupiter revolves around Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett) — a gig worker whose life is upended when he stumbles across an alien egg that hatches into a small creature he must take care of. The movie looks equal parts inspired, adorable, and like something worth checking out when it hits theaters on August 8th.

You could see that Blumhouse really believed it could recreate the success of the original M3gan with its recently-released sequel. But according to The Hollywood Reporter, M3gan 2.0’s bombing at the box office this month has spooked the studio into reassessing its plans to put out a spin-off next year.

The Brad Pitt-starring racing drama opened to more than $55 million in the US this weekend, and $144 million worldwide. That’s still a ways short of the movie’s $200-300 million production budget, but it’s easily on track to beat the $221 million-earning Napoleon as Apple’s biggest film yet.

The cast also includes Jason Momoa as Blanka and singer Orville Peck as Vega, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
