Toy Story 5 has opened to record franchise returns, grossing roughly $312m worldwide and dominating ticket sales. Low‑budget horror films made by online creators — notably Obsession, Backrooms and Iron Lung — have posted surprise gains. By contrast, DCilms' Supergirl has underperformed, opening far below studio expectations and drawing poor reviews.
A slate of reviews and box-office numbers show Supergirl has opened modestly, prompting DC Studios to reassess momentum and direction for its evolving DC Universe. Critics highlight pacing and tonal decisions, while Milly Alcock’s performance is noted as a potential future asset.
Lanterns has premiered on HBO/HBO Max with Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre delivering a grounded, police‑procedural Green Lantern story set in Nebraska. The series blends a murder mystery with alien intrigue, balancing earthbound drama with cosmic powers as Hal Jordan and his trainee John Stewart investigate a mass shooting that hints at a larger invasion.
A rogues’ gallery of action stars delivers a breezy chase comedy set in 1987 Europe. Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh play an unlikely duo on a mission that zips from a snowy forest to Moscow, balancing slick stunts with blunt humor. The film earns beeps of heart and a smile, even as it revels in outright cartoonish spectacle.
