Pixar’s “Onward” raked in a lackluster $40 million in its opening weekend, which was enough to nab the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office, while Ben Affleck’s The Way Back also flopped despite receiving critical praise for Affleck’s performance as a high school basketball coach recovering from addiction.
There’s a lot to recommend here, and I might give “The Way Back” a second chance. What I do know is that I need to see Hoosiers (1986) again, and as soon as possible.
Actress Olivia Munn revived #MeToo during an interview and said it is time for Hollywood’s accused abusers – like director Quentin Tarantino and actor Ben Affleck – to face consequences.

Oscar-winner Matt Damon has alienated friends with remarks over the sexual misconduct firestorm blazing through Hollywood, but enough to become the next male star on the cutting room floor?
The ‘Justice League’ box office is so bad, Warner Bros. is planning a DC major shake-up that probably includes booting Ban Affleck as Batman.
It was bad enough that the sycophantic Hollywood media was pretending that a $110 million opening weekend for Justice League would have been anywhere near acceptable. Unfortunately for all concerned, the cold reality of the Harveywood scandal combined with the loss of faith in DC to tell a worthwhile story delivered even worse news — a horrific opening of just $93 million.
Ben Affleck came under fire this week for making a joke about the ever-widening scandal involving sexual misconduct in Hollywood.
For those wondering why the proposed AT&T/Time-Warner merger might not be such a good idea, look no further than the corrupting influence Time Warner is already having on Rotten Tomatoes when it comes to protecting Justice League from hideous reviews.
Ben Affleck says the storm of sexual harassment allegations engulfing Hollywood has led him to examine his own behavior.

However, many celebrities have descended upon the nation’s capital to advocate and/or shine a light on their personal causes.
Rose McGowan claims she told actor Ben Affleck that Harvey Weinstein allegedly raping her. Not only did she tell Affleck, she claims to have told him almost immediately after the alleged crime way back in 1997.
The male talent behind next month’s Justice League, a hugely important tentpole for an embattled film industry, represents some of the very worst Harveywood has to offer.

Rep. Geoff Diehl (R-Whitman), who is taking on Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) in 2018 for her Senate seat, challenged the progressive senator on Wednesday to return more than $10,000 she received from actor Ben Affleck, who admitted to, and later apologized for, groping actress Hilarie Burton.
Out of the growing fear that the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal is about to spin out of control, is about to bring down those (like Ben Affleck) who are not useless has-beens like Harvey, the bombshell news that The Weinstein Company board knew of Harvey’s payoffs to women is being downplayed, especially by the Hollywood trades. Nevertheless, it is still a bombshell.
Good faith searches reveal that, as of this writing, nowhere on the home page of either Variety, Deadline, or the Hollywood Reporter will you find a headline with the words “Ben” or “Affleck.” How is this possible in a news cycle where Hollywood’s Batman is being dubbed “Buttman” due to a whole new round of groping allegations?
