We have some bad news for fans of Bond, James Bond. A recent report indicates we may not see any new movies about the gadget-centric MI6 agent for a while. The reason? A good old-fashioned standoff between Amazon MGM and the Broccoli family, who oversee the franchise for Eon Production. Eon’s long-running spy franchise is based on a series of books by Ian Fleming that debuted in 1962. There are 25 films based on the character, the most recent being 2021’s “No Time to Die” starring Daniel Craig. It was well known the project would end Craig’s five-movie contract. And…

So to get a full picture we have to dissect each component individually before we bring them back together. Friday You’d think with Friday being right before the weekend for most people…

Audience attitudes towards Sony adapting Marvel Comics stories have always been a mixed bag, but nothing compared to what we are seeing in 2024. Audiences thought they hit bottom in February after “Madame Web” opened at $15.3 million on a budget of $80 million. But the company fell even further this weekend with “Kraven the Hunter.” “Kraven the Hunter” Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as one of Spider-Man’s notorious foes, expectations for “Kraven the Hunter,” weren’t high, but no one expected an $11 million opening weekend across 3,211 theaters levels of bad.  It is now the worst debut for Sony’s Universe of…
