Rooster Teeth announced they will be canceling their 2024 Rooster Teeth Expo (RTX) following a series of financial trouble for the studio. In recent months Rooster Teeth changed course with distribution by pulling a bunch of content from their YouTube channel so it’s restricted to their own website. More and more it looks like the company is going under financially, especially since Warner Brothers-Discovery, Rooster Teeth’s parent company, is rumored to be filing for bankruptcy. Even if these rumors concerning the parent company aren’t true, it’s still a fact Rooster Teeth is not getting the appropriate number of views for the number of subscribers they have. It doesn’t seem like the company is financially viable with the overhead they have.

The latest reports coming out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, MCU, say the studio wants to focus more on the female characters in their upcoming X-Men reboot. This information comes from an insider who says the studio wants to focus more on the female members of the team. A similar approach was had with Fox’s 2019 X-Men film Dark Phoenix and the movie was a box office bomb. This information also coincides with recent attempts by Marvel to push out their male characters in favor of female characters. Additional reports from Disney’s Marvel says their upcoming Fantastic Four movie will not only focus on Sue Storm, but will also include a female Silver Surfer in a gender swapped role.

It looks like Wonka could be a hit that theaters desperately need. Recently theaters owners have been worried that this holiday season there was nothing come out that would drive audiences. The musical fantasy starring Timothee Chalamet had a solid opening weekend, not only domestically, but globally as well. I was able to bring in over $151 million globally during its opening on a $125 million budget. If it has a decent hold it should be profitable after next weekend. This is a needed boost for theater chains that had to content with slow box office results throughout the fall season.

A trailer for the new movie The American Society of Magical Negros was released and it’s getting a ton of pushback online from virtually everyone. It does look like the upcoming comedy film staring Justice Smith and David Alan Grier can be a hilarious movie, but probably not for the reasons the filmmakers intended. The overt racism against white people present during the trailer can either be a huge joke on the part of the filmmakers. It could be a satire of crazy people in society who legitimately think systemic racism to benefit white people exists. Realistically though it is a sincere effort similar to Jordan Peele’s hit movie Get Out and the real humor is laughing at people who think this is how the world is.

DC CEO James Gunn made a statement recently saying he doesn’t like pointless cameos in superhero movies. This contradicts previous statements he made about The Flash, praising the Ezra Miller movie as being one of the best superhero movies despite it being marketed on its cameos. With Warner Bros. Discovery having a difficult time getting the DCEU off the ground, James Gunn has been left trying to salvage the scraps left over. However, him being caught in this instance suggests he’s not to be relied on. The fact that his lie is so overt also suggests he’s throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.

Disney’s new upcoming Marvel movie, Captain America Brave New World, is not only undergoing extensive reshoots, but it’s also gotten a new writer. Bringing on new writers and undergoing reshoots is not unusual for Marvel movies within the MCU.

The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes that shutdown Hollywood for over half a year may have been a Pyrrhic victory for the unions. A new study has shown nearly 20% of the workers in the Hollywood industry were laid off as a result of the strikes. The majority of the people who lost their job were writers, but down the line workers like camera operators and editors are also out of work as a result of the industry shutdown. These workers don’t benefit from the strike and things are going to be a lot worse with an industry that’s downsizing.

Marvel MCU actor Vincent D’Onofrio says the upcoming Daredevil Born Again series will fall under the Marvel Spotlight banner. Disney previously announced they’ll launch the Marvel Spotlight banner for movies and shows that are still apart of the MCU, but separated from the other properties.

It was officially announced Twisted Metal will be renewed for a second season on Peacock. The high-octane action comedy starring Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz was a surprise hit this last summer. The show was dropped all at once on Peacock and set audience viewership records for the streaming service. The success of the Twisted Metal series is another in an ever-growing list of successful adaptations of popular videos games.

Godzilla Minus One is breaking records in Hollywood for a foreign language film and has even reached the number one spot in the domestic box office. All on a small budget of just around $15 million. Some would argue this is the result of Japan paying VFX artists significantly less than US based VFX artists, but when comparing cost of living the VFX artists in Japan are doing better than ones in the US. Even if Japan paid its VFX artists more than what they pay the artists in the US they would still be able to accomplish much more with a small budget. This is something Hollywood studios need to learn since they have been spending too much on movies and the box office results have not been able to recoup.

There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the live-action Zelda movie since it was announced by Shigeru Miyamoto back in November. Some have been saying this will be Nintendo and Sony’s Lord of the Rings, but the director has other ideas. During an interview director Wes Ball stated he envision a Zelda movie to be more like a live-action Miyazaki movie. He goes on to say he’s been a huge fan of the Zelda franchise and wants to do it right while staying true to the source material. It certainly helps that the original creator of the franchise, Shigeru Miyamoto is involved with the project. We saw his involvement with the Super Mario Bros. pay off by creating something fans loved. Wes Ball may not have an extensive resume as a director, but neither did the directors of Super Mario Bros either.

Disney released a memo stating they will no longer be reporting box office results for The Marvels which means they don’t expect any significant gains. This despite the movie set to play in theaters through the new year. The Marvels has not been able to generate $300 million at the global box office so far. The reported budget is around $270 million, but these estimates are likely under reporting. Marvel and Disney’s large slate of upcoming MCU movies indicates the studio doesn’t believe superhero fatigue is what’s causing this string of box office failures.

It’s becoming more apparent digital purchases are glorified rentals. Sony announced their play store would remove hundreds of titles from Discovery that users previously purchased. This upset many Sony PlayStation users who learned they will no longer be able to access the content they thought they owned. The move comes after Sony was not able to renew a licensing agreement with Discovery which allowed them to sell digital versions of popular TV shows and movies. This is not the first time a major streaming platform has removed content people purchased; in fact, Sony has done this very thing before. Users are under the impression when they purchase a digital version of a show, movie, game, etc., they now own it. Some are calling for legal action against Sony for remove the property they believe they own, but the terms of service may save Sony.

Early projections for the new DCEU film Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom staring Jason Mamoa are in and they’re not looking too good. The early projections have it opening to less than the previous Aquaman movie and in line with DC’s other big superhero flop this year The Flash. Despite all of this, things are not over yet. The first Aquaman movie had a slow start, but held on at the global box office thanks to good word-of-mouth. The first Aquaman movie only made $67 million domestically during its opening weekend and went on to gross over $1 billion.

More information is coming out following Melissa Berarra being fired from the upcoming movie Scream 7. It was initially believed Jenna Ortega chose to leave the project after Melissa Berarra was fired, but insiders are saying Jenna Ortega left the project months prior. The studio did sign Melissa Berarra prior to Jenna Ortega choosing to leave because they wanted to continue the sequel trilogy, they setup with the Carpenter sisters, but those plans went bust since Jenna Ortega chose to leave because of a monetary dispute. It’s possible the antisemitic excuse used to justify firing Melissa Berarra was just an excuse to avoid penalties in the contract because the studio didn’t want to continue the movie with only one member of the duo.

Taika Waititi made a name for himself directing Disney and Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok for the MCU. Following the success, he was also hired to direct Thor: Love and Thunder.

The latest casting rumors surround Disney and Marvel’s new MCU movie Fantastic Four says The Menu and The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy will be playing the role of the Silver Surfer as a gender swapped version of the character. This goes in line with what has been seen in recent years with Disney and Marvel choosing to replace male characters with female version, but usually that takes the form of creating a female version of the character to take on the “mantle” of the character.

It was announced Melissa Barrera was fired from the upcoming Scream movie due to tweets she made in support of Palestine. Since then, it was announced Jenna Ortega will no longer be apart of the next Scream movie. Some are speculating Jenna Ortega left the project in solidarity with Melissa Barrera, her on screen sister. The evidence at hand suggests the office story is more accurate. Jenna Ortega only signed on for the two Scream movies she already filmed. Since signing onto the Scream reboot/sequel her career blew up. There was reporting last summer that suggested the studio was trying to keep her onto the movie, but it may interfere with her commitment to the Netflix series Wednesday. That’s a project should had more of a personal investment in and she was given a Producer’s credit in the second season. It’s possible Melissa Barrera was fired because Jenna Ortega decided not to stay on and the studio is going to alter what they initially planned in order to try and bring back Neve Campbell and Patrick Dempsey for Scream VII.
