Inside Out 2’ Becomes First Animated Film to Hit $1 Billion at International Box Office

Inside Out 2’ Becomes First Animated Film to Hit $1 Billion at International Box Office

News
By Rebecca Rubin According To The variety “Inside Out 2” has surpassed $1 billion at the international box office, one of 12 releases — and the only animated film — to ever cross that coveted milestone. Though 55 films have grossed $1 billion globally (which is comprised of domestic and international ticket sales), just a dozen have managed to hit that benchmark from overseas markets alone — and 11 of those movies were live-action. While Disney’s 2019 “The Lion King” earned a staggering $1.1 billion internationally, the studio has categorized the remake as live-action rather than computer generated, so “Inside Out 2” is technically the first animated release to join the coveted club. Getting to $1 billion means “Inside Out 2” has resonated pretty much everywhere, but the top forei...
Megalopolis’ Trailer’s Fake Critic Quotes Were AI-Generated, Lionsgate Drops Marketing Consultant Responsible For Snafu

Megalopolis’ Trailer’s Fake Critic Quotes Were AI-Generated, Lionsgate Drops Marketing Consultant Responsible For Snafu

News
By Gene Maddaus, Katcy Stephan According To The variety Lionsgate has parted ways with Eddie Egan, the marketing consultant who came up with the “Megalopolis” trailer that included fake quotes from famous film critics. The studio pulled the trailer on Wednesday, after it was pointed out that the quotes trashing Francis Ford Coppola’s previous work did not actually appear in the critics’ reviews, and were in fact made up. Sources tell Variety it was not Lionsgate or Egan’s intention to fabricate quotes, but was an error in properly vetting and fact-checking the phrases provided by the consultant. The intention of the trailer was to demonstrate that Coppola’s revered work, much like “Megalopolis,” has been met with criticism. It appears that AI was used to generate th...
Sabrina Carpenter Teases and Torments on the Masterful — and Devilishly NSFW — ‘Short n’ Sweet’: Album Review

Sabrina Carpenter Teases and Torments on the Masterful — and Devilishly NSFW — ‘Short n’ Sweet’: Album Review

News
By Jem Aswa According To The variety “Short and Sweet” might be Sabrina Carpenter’s sixth album, but even she says it feels more like her second. After the creative breakthrough of 2022’s “Emails I Can’t Send” — which we’ll call her “Disney-mancipation” after nearly a decade as a child star — “S n’ S” is the powerful next step in her evolution as an artist, person and persona. You already know the persona from this album’s two lead singles, “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” and their videos: A woman who’s pretty but tough, funny, sassy, confident, sexually up-front and with a fiery mean streak, but who’s not without insecurities and heartache. The songs here are nearly all about love, every kind of it: True love, stupid love, crushes, I-really-should-know-bet...

Todd Phillips Tells All on Making ‘Joker 2’: Musical Numbers, Method Acting and Joaquin Phoenix’s Broadway Dream That Started It All

News
By Brent Lang According To The variety It all started with Joaquin Phoenix‘s dream. Shortly before shooting wrapped on “Joker,” Phoenix confessed to Todd Phillips, the filmmaker who had reimagined Batman’s greatest enemy as an aspiring stand-up with a Travis Bickle complex, that he wasn’t ready to leave the character behind. When he fell asleep one night, Phoenix had a vision of Arthur Fleck, the man behind Joker’s clown makeup, performing onstage, telling jokes and singing. “Todd was in the wings talking to me through a headset,” Phoenix remembers. “I woke up feeling elated and called him, hoping he’d want to do a show with me.” Even before “Joker” went on to earn more than $1 billion in 2019, the pair were already thinking about a follow-up. They discussed the prosp...

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Are the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton of the 2020s

News
By Daniel D'Addario According To The variety There’s something particularly painful about the news that — on the exact day of their wedding ceremony in Georgia in 2022 — Jennifer Lopez has filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. Up until now, we were intimately invited to be a part of their love story. Lopez, as documented in Stephen Rodrick’s profile for this magazine, took the risk of her career with the album and feature film “This Is Me… Now.” The record is end-to-end love songs about a journey of discovery that led Lopez to forgive herself, and made her ready to accept Affleck’s love once again. (The pair had been together from 2002 to 2004, and even got engaged; reunited, they first wed in a Nevada chapel in July 2022, an event chronicled in Lopez’s song “Midnight Tr...
