Disney's films, including Deadpool & Wolverine, have dominated the box office, signaling a strong comeback for the company.

New movie releases struggled against established hits, indicating a competitive box office environment.

Captain America: Brave New World achieved a record $192 million opening weekend globally, but its sustainability at the box office remains in question.

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy had a historic $14.9 million opening in the U.K., marking a significant milestone for romcoms there.

Moana 2's record-setting Thanksgiving box office illustrates a significant recovery for the cinema industry post-pandemic.

Wicked and Gladiator II significantly boosted the box office, making it one of the busiest weekends in recent times.

"Wicked" had a stellar $46.7 million opening day, potentially leading to a massive weekend box office total.

The combination of "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" highlights the competition in today's movie market, though they did not reach last year's iconic releases.

The unusual pairing of 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator II' hopes to replicate the box office success of 'Barbenheimer'.

"The Electric State," starring Millie Bobby Brown, is among the top new titles streaming, alongside upcoming releases like "Moana 2" and "Kraven the Hunter."

New movie offerings on streaming this month feature notable titles including "Den of Thieves 2: Pantera" and classic favorites like "50 First Dates."

Netflix's 'watercooler' strategy proves effective, driving millions of views with minimal marketing for top movies like 'Damsel' and 'Lift.'

Oscar season prompts reflection on past winners' choices in follow-up roles, often leading to disappointing projects.

Streaming services continue to offer a variety of new releases, including notable films like a fantasy musical and a sequel action film.

Hulu is adding new movies in March including Batman titles and Jim Carrey classics, while also removing some popular films.

Movies have become disposable due to misguided behavior of studios, streamers, and distributors.

Oscar nominations impact movie release strategies and theater scheduling, influencing independent cinemas' programming decisions.

Quality is crucial in movies, trumping mere escapism. Critics value elements like story, acting, and cinematography over blockbuster appeal.

The phenomenon of 'Barbenheimer' set a precedent for mashup marketing, inspiring new attempts like 'Glicked' to replicate its cultural impact.

Gladiator II scored the highest international opening for a Ridley Scott film, bringing in $87m despite tougher competition from other releases.
