Terminator: Dark Fate hit cinemas in November and arrived to favourable reviews from critics but failed to set the box office alight. The film grossed an estimated $260.5m worldwide based on a $185m production budget. Though not an amount to be scoffed at, it certainly wasn’t quite the level of success that Paramount and international partners 20th Century Fox were hoping for.

It will debut on digital platforms on January 14, 2020 before hitting physical media on January 28. Check out all the…

We all knew that it was coming but now the MPAA in North America has confirmed that Warner Bros. Birds of Prey will indeed be rated R. The official notification on the MPAA website notes that the R-rating has been given due to “strong violence and language throughout, and some sexual and drug material.” That’s no surprise given that the latest DC Films release comes straight from the mind of Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn. But what does this mean for UK audiences? An R-rating will often equate to a 15 here in the UK as our criteria for an 18…
