Until Hollywood blames itself and its increasingly unappealing product, nothing will change. Which is fine with me. I hate these people.

Dec. 29 (UPI) — Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the No. 1 movie in North America, earning an additional $38 million in receipts this weekend, BoxOfficeMojo.com announced Sunday.

Disney received a fact-check on the social media platform X when it falsely declared Mufasa the “#1 movie in America” over Sonic 3.

NEW YORK (AP) — In the holiday season battle of big-budget family movies, Paramount Pictures’ “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” sped past the Walt Disney Co.’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” to take the top spot at the box office ahead of the lucrative Christmas corridor in theaters.

Mufasa: The Lion King, a prequel to the 1994 animated classic, just opened to a catastrophic $35 million. Even more humiliating is the fact that if these numbers hold, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is set to double that haul with a $70.5 million opening.

The Disney Grooming Syndicate is likely sweating the box office prospects of “Mufasa,” a prequel to “The Lion King” (1994).

After three bombs out of four, Sony has announced the death of its Spider-Man Villain Universe franchise.

The director of the Disney Grooming Syndicate’s box office flop “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is blaming fans.

Australian star Margot Robbie has defended her $120 million film Babylon after it sank without trace at the box office, saying she is baffled by the public’s response to her efforts and those of co-stars Brad Pitt and Olivia Wilde.

With its release date only months away, reports say “Captain America: Brave New World” is doing a third round of reshoots.

NEW YORK (AP) — “Venom: The Last Dance” showed less bite than expected at the box office, collecting $51 million in its opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, significantly down from the alien symbiote franchise’s previous entries.

Horror sequel Smile 2 is the No. 1 movie in North America this weekend, earning $23 million in receipts, BoxOfficeMojo.com announced Sunday.

The choices on the movie marquee this weekend included Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker, a film about Donald Trump, a “Saturday Night Live” origin story and even Pharrell Williams as a Lego. In the end, all were trounced by an ax-wielding clown.

Moviegoers across the country have fired The Apprentice. The controversial Trump biopic — which portrays the young Donald Trump as a rapist — is set to gross around $1.5 million on its opening weekend. That’s an embarrassingly low figure given that the movie received a wide release on 1,740 screens, for a per-screen average of about $862.

After a 2024 movie slate stuffed to the collar with sequels, prequels, reboots, and remakes, 2025 will look even more familiar as anywhere from 50 to 70 percent of releases will be franchise movies.

“Joker: Folie à Deux” is the No. 1 movie at the box office, but it might not be destined for a happy ending.

According to financial statements, two 2023 Marvel superhero movies resulted in a $296.4 million loss for the Disney Grooming Syndicate.

Actor and musician Jack Black is closing out an already terrible summer with the publicity launch of what looks like another humiliating box office flop.

The summer box office season ended up being down 11 percent over 2023’s summer, and let’s not forget that 2023’s summer box office wasn’t hot.

Exceeding projections, the first full-length film about President Ronald Reagan earned $7.4 million over the three-day weekend.

Hollywood whored out its soul of artistic integrity only to be tricked and discarded.

Despite an all-star cast, Jack Black’s Borderlands took a dive with an opening weekend that might not hit $10 million.

The box office prospects for Jack Black’s latest movie “Borderlands” look bleak, with the video game adaptation bringing in a little more than $1 million in Thursday previews.

We are all human beings and from our storytellers, we are hardwired to ask only two things: 1) cast a spell, 2) don’t break that spell.

Giving the customers what they want. What a concept, eh?

Inside Out 2 is what people want from Disney: no gay sex, no transvestites, no pronouns, no lectures, just a nice story about relatable characters.

“A Quiet Place: Day One ” is making noise at the box office. The prequel earned an estimated $53 million in its first weekend in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The box office success of Inside Out 2 has exposed the sycophant entertainment media as shameless and pathetic propagandists.

The Disney Grooming Syndicate’s Pixar division has a huge hit on its hands with Inside Out 2, a movie made for Normal People.

Child mutilators get no charity from me.

How in the world did the fourth movie in a 30-year-old franchise starring The Slapper overperform to a $52 million opening?

All eyes will be on “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” which is projected to open between a lackluster $30 million and a stunning $60 million.

Hollywood is panicking, but Hollywood and the sycophantic Hollywood media are still lying to themselves (and to us) about the reason why.

The endless but nonetheless hilarious humiliations just keep coming for Furiosa, AKA Mad Max with a Sexless Girlboss.

Mad Max with a Sexless Girlboss, AKA Furiosa, collapsed in weekend two, taking down the entire weekend box office with it.

Desperate to save Pixar, Disney is looking to The Incredibles and Finding Nemo for reboots and sequels,

A bunch of “experts” are demanding that the movies become even more woke with even more Global Warming alarmism.

Only a lunatic would cast a sexless girl in a Mad Max movie. Who wants to spend $30 and three hours watching an actress with the body of a 14-year-old boy running around girlbossing?

They called it Mad Max, put a girl in it, and now Hollywood’s staring at the worst Memorial Day weekend opener in decades.

Former movie star Seth Rogen, who has jumped into TV acting, delivered a beautiful self-own by comparing movie theaters to museums.
