After a nervous weekend the first numbers for Shazam! are in. The movie has opened to an estimated (and respectful) $158.7M worldwide. The David F. Sanberg directed pictures bowed with around $53.4M at the domestic box office, with the added $3.3M from pre-Thursday previews that figure is pumped up to a running total of $56.7M. China leads the way at the international box office with an estimated $31M. The movie hasn’t played quite as hugely as expected in the market. Word of mouth on the more child friendly humour appears to have pushed the numbers down across the weekend. Nevertheless…

Here’s some exciting news to break overnight, TheWrap is reporting that Viola Davis will indeed be returning for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad! Given the characters intrinsic involvement with Task Force X in the comics it makes sense to bring her back. Davis was yet another strong performer in the first Suicide Squad movie. Though widely panned by critics the David Ayer directed movie grossed $325M domestically and almost $750M worldwide back in 2016. Jai Courtney also recently confirmed that he will be returning in some capacity for the next movie in the franchise. The Suicide Squad (aka Suicide Squad…

Shazam! is now in cinemas and that means we’re already beginning to see box office information rolling in from across the globe. Warner Bros. has announced the movie reached $16M on its opening day in China, the studios third largest opening day in the market. That figure trails behind on Batman v Superman and Aquaman proving DC has a strong presence in the market. Overseas the movie has so far grossed around $16M. This estimate was released by the studio prior to the China update so we can safely assume the movie was around $32-35M heading in to Saturday. Estimates…

Synopsis Tensions rise as Zelda and Father Blackwood’s union draws near. Amid the chaos, Sabrina greets a familiar vision and Ambrose uncovers a dark truth. Review We’ve reached the point in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Part 2 which, if it were a network show, would be called a mid-season finale. In all honesty I felt like I was watching a season finale though. The series slams its foot on the gas and moves at breakneck speed with a wedding, a murder and a funeral all in one episode. There’s so much to take in that I felt slightly bewildered on…

Synopsis Sabrina, Theo, Roz and others attempt to navigate the lines between fact, fiction and fate when a mysterious stranger sets up shop in Cerberus Books. Review Coming off the back of the excellent “Lupercalia” episode I wondered where Chilling Adventures of Sabrina would go next. Of anything which I had expected an episode delving deep into the psyche of the lead characters for a “what if?” style episode was not top of the list. That being said “Doctor Cerberus’s House of Horror” does warrant some interesting results. It feels a little like watching a live-action version of a classic…

With over ten million followers Jared Leto is something of a social media mastermind. The actor know how to send is fanbase into frenzy with a simple image or caption. His latest post has certainly got Marvel fans talking. Overnight the actor released this time-lapse video featuring the singer/actor in costume as Michael Morbius. Whilst there’s no vampiric action this is still a very cool tease at the aesthetic of the movie, or at least Leto’s interpretation of it. Check it out in the Instagram post below! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2HKlglUat Jared Leto takes the lead in the latest of Sony’s Spider-Man spin-offs.…

Synopsis Love and lust sweep through Greendale as Harvey surprises Roz with a sweet gift, and Sabrina explores a romantic ritual… and her feelings for Nick. Review Remember that episode of Buffy where she and Riley got stuck in his frat house and the sexual energy charged the house and made everyone crazy? Well this episode of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is lusty but it’s definitely not THAT lusty. “Lupercalia” is instead an exploration of much more of the magical mythology behind the series. Though there are some mixed results this is definitely one of the most interesting episodes in…

We’ve been waiting what feels like decades for news on a sequel to 2016’s Doctor Strange. Now a new rumour from Deadline postulates that official news could be coming our way soon. During their CinemaCon presentations Disney failed to announce any Marvel Studio releases for 2020. We know the studio is unlikely to skip an entire year whilst the momentum is so hot in the wake of Infinity War and Endgame. The report notes  “Not revealed — what the Marvel movies will be for 2020 for the new merger.  Word is that will come to reveal itself after Avengers: Endgame…

Synopsis A sinister guest visits Spellman Mortuary. Theo faces a cast of cruel critics, and Roz and Harvey pursue an extra-steamy school assignment. Review It’s time for the Dark Lord to make good on his promise to come to Sabrina when he needed her. Back when Sabrina signed the Book of the Beast it felt like a moment of desperation for the character. With her world falling apart around her, albeit by the manipulations of Lillith (Michelle Gomez), she felt she had no choice. When the Dark Lord told her he would come to her when he needed her it…
