Disney CEO Bob Chapek confirmed during an earnings call this week that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is still on schedule to release later this year on November 11. After a couple of years filled with so many blockbusters being delayed, and Black Panther 2 in particular navigating the death of Chadwick Boseman in 2020 and Letitita Wright getting injured on the set of the sequel in 2021 , it's a welcome bit of good news. "Looking ahead, our studios will continue to deliver high-quality content at scale with an exciting array of series and films coming to all of our distribution channels," Chapek told investors during Disney's earnings call (via Comicbook ). "In fact, our slate for the remainder of this year is incredibly strong with titles like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ms. Marvel, Lightyear, Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and the long-anticipated Avatar: The Way of Water." Black Panther: Wakanda Forever started production in 2021, nearly one year after Boseman … [Read more...] about Black Panther 2 Is Still Releasing This Year

Avatar 2 may singlehandedly revive an interest among moviegoers for 3D theatrical experiences, according to The Hollywood Reporter . Response to the long-awaited sequel was astronomical, whose first trailer was released earlier this month and within 24 hours hit nearly 150 million views . The upcoming blockbuster sequel, whose full name is Avatar 2: The Way of Water, is due in theaters on December 16, 2022. The movie will be massive for many reasons, but the confluence of a wait since 2009 for a proper sequel and that the franchise's first movie being the first time people wore 3D glasses, means many in the industry are imagining both a resurgence of the 3D format--and also, hopefully, a bigger return for audiences to theaters overall. Avatar 2's trailer first premiered before showings of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness before making its way online, and The Hollywood Reporter says nearly 10 percent of moviegoers in North America opted to pay 20 to 30 percent more … [Read more...] about Avatar 2 May Lead A Renewed 3D Theatrical Push

The first trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water was a massive success, picking up 148.6 million views online over its first 24 hours, including 23 million from China. Disney and 20th Century announced the numbers on Tuesday, according to The Hollywood Reporter . The Way of Water trailer debuted first in theaters before Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, so the 148.6 million figure does not count the millions of people who saw it in a theater. With 148.6 million views, The Way of Water trailer surpassed the 24-hour viewership records for Black Widow (116.8 million), Incredibles 2 (113.1 million), and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (112.4 million). It's still well behind the all-time record-holder, however, which was Spider-Man: No Way Home (355.5 million). Avengers: Endgame, meanwhile, racked up 289 million views for its first big trailer in its first 24 hours. The Way of Water is the long-awaited sequel to James Cameron's 2009 epic blockbuster Avatar, which is … [Read more...] about Avatar 2 Trailer Hits Nearly 150 Million Views In First 24 Hours

Don't be fooled, the Saints Row reboot is as bold, brash, and brazen as anything that's come before it. You may have heard rumblings of a more realistic, less tongue-in-cheek slant on Volition's action adventure series this time around, but, having been shown 45 minutes of hands-off preview footage, let's be clear: there's more than enough here to satiate existing Saints fans, while simultaneously welcoming newcomers to its new sandbox setting, Santo Ileso. With that, expect blockbuster police chases, Hollywood-tier shootouts, outrageous weaponry, colossal customisation, genital sliders, homicidal gangs, a huge open world, wild west-style bar fights, wanton destruction, and wingsuits galore. If this is Saints Row 'toned down', then call me Johnny Gat. The renowned protagonist of past Saints Row ventures, is, of course, absent this time around; as are dildo bats, alien invasions, and dubstep guns. The business-minded Eli, getaway driver Neenah, DJ Kevin, and quirky protagonist … [Read more...] about Saints Row is as bold, brash, and brazen as anything that’s come before it
