Ron Howard’s newest film Eden is making waves again with the release of its intense new trailer. The survival thriller, which features a star-studded cast including Ana de Armas, Sydney Sweeney, Vanessa Kirby, and Jude Law, is set to hit U.S. theaters on August 22. The movie is inspired by a true story and explores what happens when survival, ego, and ambition clash in one of the world’s most remote locations.

The film is based on a real series of events that took place on Floreana Island, part of the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador. In 1929, a German couple, Dr. Friedrich Ritter and his partner Dora Strauch, leave behind modern society hoping to live in peace and solitude. They want a fresh start, to write his philosophical ideas and she to heal from multiple sclerosis. But their quiet life doesn’t last long.

Soon, other settlers arrive. Heinz and...

If there is one thing Tom Cruise knows, it’s how to create buzz, and right now, the buzz seems to be all about his rumored relationship with the ‘Ballerina‘ star, Ana de Armas. Reports have stated time and time again that the two seem to be happy together as they move ahead in their relationship, one step at a time. However, the duo might hit a roadblock in the coming days due to de Armas’ desire to have a family soon.

That’s right. According to a report by Radar Online, de Armas wants to have children and start a family before she turns forty. She just turned 37 in April, meaning that if the report is true, the clock’s ticking. Cruise, on the other hand, is 63 years old.

Tom Cruise, 63,...

In another universe, Keanu Reeves is probably John Wick and would never have allowed the criminals who stole $125,000 worth of watches from his home in 2023 to get away with the heist unscathed. Instead, the nicest man in Hollywood has had to wait two years to hear that his lost timepieces have been recovered and will be heading back to him very soon. As Bill S. Preston Esq. might say, “Excellent!”

The actor’s luxury watch collection was stolen from the actor’s Hollywood Hills home in December 2023. The robbery was one of several in the area which were reported at the time as a large wave of crime in the celebrity-heavy location. The watches, which included a $9,000 Rolex, were recently found as part of a much larger collection of stolen goods during police raids in Santiago. The watches were initially recovered by the Chilean authorities, and after being verified as belonging to Reeves,...

The Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas rumors aren’t going away anytime soon. After the couple was spotted together at different public locations, fans speculated that the two stars could be dating. Amidst these rumors, we also got De Armas’ take on having kids. Speaking to the Italian publication, F Magazine, she shared that she definitely wanted kids.

De Armas has no children, and she expressed that she would like to have children and a family as soon as possible. However, she also made it clear that she was looking for her true love to make all those things happen. She shared with the outlet (via Daily Mail):

Yes, I would like to have children and a family, soon if possible. But it doesn’t just depend on me. As we know, love is unpredictable, you never know when true love will come. Relationships can’t be controlled: life is not a movie.

Horror fans first learned about Whistle all the way back in 2023, but now we finally have some footage to connect to the upcoming horror thriller. IFC and Shudder have finally unveiled the first trailer for the feature, directed by Corin Hardy (The Nun) and starring Logan and Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Dafne Keen, and the result is beyond eerie. Whistle refers to an Aztec artifact, and the haunting trailer, which you can see below, teases: "If you hear the whistle's scream, dying is not a choice..."

Whistle is led by Keen, a former child actor who made her breakthrough role as Laura (X-23) in the critically acclaimed MCU film Logan. She reprised this fan-favorite role in 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine. Her credits also include the acclaimed BBC/HBO series His Dark Materials, the comedy-drama Ana, and a place in the Star Wars universe as Jecki Lon in The Acolyte. Keen...

Making movies is challenging, and making a splash at the box office is even harder. On paper, a John Wick spin-off starring Ana de Armas as a lethal soldier of the Ruska Roma sounds like a guaranteed money-maker. However, audiences are fickle, and going to the cinema is expensive, even if you’re sneaking snacks from the Bulk Barn and requesting sparkling water instead of Coca-Cola. Despite positive reviews and solid word of mouth, Armas’s Ballerina stumbled at the box office. Thankfully, Ballerina is already Jetéing to the top of the PVOD charts.

According to FlixPatrol, Ballerina finished second on iTunes in the United States on July 1 and July 2. The action-packed film finished third on Vudu and seventh on Amazon on July 2.

Produced on a reported $90 million budget, Ballerina danced to a $110 million take at the worldwide box office. These aren’t the numbers you’d expect from a John Wick spin-off,...

Not every film is meant to perform well in theaters, and Ana de Armas’ Ballerina has certainly proved that. The movie is already out for a digital release on streaming platforms after less than a month, and it doesn’t signify a good trend.

Directed by Len Wiseman with a story by Shay Hatten, Ballerina depicts the story of Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, an assassin trained in the Ruska Roma, who goes on a path of bullets and blood to avenge the death of her father. Despite an intriguing story, the movie didn’t meet the box office expectations that people were hoping for.

Ana de Armas’ ‘Ballerina’ hits streaming after less than a month in theaters

Although people might think that a quick turnaround from earning millions at the box office to being available for streaming in such a short time necessarily means that the film is bad,...

Following its run in theaters, Ballerina: From the World of John Wick can now be watched at home. As of July 1, the film is available on premium digital and premium video on demand from Lionsgate.

The new release of Ballerina comes with some bonuses, and Cbr has an exclusive clip. In the video, Daniel Bernhardt (Scarred Eye) discusses the violent fight he has in the film with Ana de Armas' Eve Macarro. As the actor explained, de Armas had very little preparation time for the scene, but everyone was impressed by just how quickly she was able to nail it. Check out the video below.

Bonus materials also include deleted and extended scenes, along with three featurettes:

Ballerina Worldwide Box Office: Here’s How Much It Needs To Break Even(Photo Credit –Facebook)

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina is a critically acclaimed movie, but it is far from being a financial success. Ana de Armas’ movie recently crossed the $100 million milestone worldwide, but its reported budget is less than its current worldwide collection. Keep scrolling for the deets.

Despite the positive reviews, the action thriller is underperforming at the box office due to several reasons, including the absence of Keanu Reeves in the leading role, multiple releases, and people’s hesitation about a female-led action movie. The franchise became popular due to Keanu, and his absence might have upset the fans. On the other hand, multiple movies are running in the theaters, which is also affecting the business.

Ballerina at the worldwide box office

Ana de Armas starrer Ballerina scored a decent $24.5 million on its opening weekend.

Stephen King’s The Stand is the latest project to land on director Doug Liman’s slate. More on the new adaptation here.

From stories of on-set chaos on 2002’s The Bourne Identity to his plans to shoot a film with Tom Cruise beyond the confines of Earth’s atmosphere, Doug Liman always seems to have a knack for creating extraordinary productions that often make for great film stories further down the line. A master of sprawling technical productions he might be, but Liman is surely going to find that reputation put to the test once more now that he’s been announced as the director of The Stand for Paramount Pictures.

After all, Stephen King’s source novel has often been seen as unfilmable. Sure, we’ve had two distinct TV miniseries release over the decades since the book was first published in 1978, but a film adaptation has failed...

Anyone who’s spent time in the “John Wick” universe — or invested countless hours in bringing the blockbuster Lionsgate franchise to life — could imagine the pitfalls awaiting the production team behind the Ana de Armas-starring spinoff “Ballerina,” which hit theaters on June 6.

Predominantly filmed in the Czech Republic, the production was a high-octane thrill-ride where “every second scene was a shoot-’em-up or an explosion or a car chase,” according to Dave Arrowsmith, the film’s supervising art director. That included “very big, complex set builds” — both in Prague’s historic Barrandov Studios and on location — as well as a bit of elbow grease and ingenuity when things didn’t go according to plan.

After an unseasonably warm winter, for example, when temperatures in the Czech countryside failed to drop below zero, Arrowsmith, SFX supervisor Ondrej Nierostek and their team had no choice but to build their own frozen lake from scratch.

How One Twist In Final Destination 3 Could Have Changed The Franchise! (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

Spoiler Alert: The following article discusses major plot points from Final Destination 3 and Final Destination: Bloodlines.

Final Destination 3 nearly threw fans a curveball that could’ve flipped the franchise on its head. While the third installment stuck close to the deadly blueprint, vision, escape, then Death playing catch-up, it almost took a sharp left turn right at the end.

Instead of leaving us with that subway crash tease, the original ending would’ve dropped a bombshell: cameos from two Final Destination 2 survivors, Kimberly (Aj Cook) and Officer Burke (Michael Landes). So, what went wrong? According to producer Craig Perry (per Digital Spy), they had the plan in place. They even wrote it out, and one of the two actors was ready to go

But the other wasn’t available, and they...

Here’s Our Take On Whether Keanu Reeves’ John Wick Should Appear In Ana De Armas’ Ballerina 2!(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Spoiler Alert: This article discusses major cameo appearances from Ana de Armas’ Ballerina movie.

John Wick: Chapter 4 gave the Baba Yaga a near-perfect send-off. He died on his own terms, at peace, with the kind of closure most action franchises don’t dare to write. Yet two years later, Keanu Reeves is still showing up. Ballerina used a timeline loophole to sneak him back in, setting the story between Chapters 3 and 4. It worked once. But going forward, it doesn’t need to happen again, especially not in Ballerina 2.

The demand is there, sure. Keanu is irreplaceable in the role. But sometimes, letting a character rest is the braver call. Reeves himself says that Wick is “dead” and laughs off the idea of a real comeback. Director Chad Stahelski doubled down too,...

Ballerina Worldwide Box Office: Set To Hit A Major Milestone(Photo Credit – Instagram)

Ballerina continues its underwhelming box office run amid multiple family movies. It will suffer further as two new films have been released this Friday. However, one silver lining is that it is close to hitting a major milestone at the worldwide box office. Ana de Armas’s movie surpassed the entire domestic and global haul of John Wick in its second week. Keep scrolling for more.

The action-packed movie has surpassed the $43.0 million domestic and $86.08 million worldwide haul of John Wick in just 11 days. The film’s underwhelming performance might be due to the lack of star power and when it was released. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is the action movie of this season, and releasing the John Wick spin-off while Mi 8 is still running in the theaters might have been a bad move. It...

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina has just crossed a significant global box office milestone, but it's not reaching the same heights as the John Wick sequels. Directed by Len Wiseman, the latest installment in the hit action franchise stars Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, an assassin who sets out for revenge following the murder of her father. De Armas is joined in the Ballerina cast by Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston, and Gabriel Byrne, but these names weren't enough to raise the film beyond a modest box office opening of $24 million domestically.

Per The Numbers, Ballerina has now crossed $95.1 million worldwide, comprising $45.4 million domestically and $49.7 million from overseas territories. As the film nears the $100 million mark, it still falls short of all the John Wick movies, save for the debut installment in 2014. Check out a chart of the franchise's box office performance below:

What This Means...

Ana de Armas’ Ballerina was released in theaters earlier this month, with the John Wick spin-off movie receiving mostly positive reviews. Despite detractors questioning the commercial viability of an Armas-led action movie, it has defied all expectations and outpaced Keanu Reeves’ original John Wick at the box office.

At the same time, de Armas’ spin-off movie has also outshone one of Jason Statham’s most iconic movies. As a result, it is clear that de Armas is bound to explode as an action star and holds a promising future in the world of John Wick. Here is everything you need to know about the box office performance of Ballerina and its future.

Ana de Armas’ Ballerina exceeds expectations at the box office by beating both Keanu Reeves and Jason Statham

Ballerina is the female-led spin-off entry in the globally popular John Wick franchise, starring Keanu Reeves in the titular role.

Ballerina has beaten its master’s Og film at the domestic and worldwide box office. Ana de Armas’ film is feeling a lot of pressure with all the biggies running at cinemas, but it will not end up at the bottom of the list in the franchise. The film beats John Wick’s box office collections to prevent unwanted situations. Keep scrolling for more.

Ana de Armas earned a notable place in Hollywood as an action star who has appeared in several action movies. She got her due with this solo film in the popular franchise. Some of the popular actresses who aced the action space include Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, and Charlize Theron. Ana is also becoming a prominent name in the genre, and this movie is also slowly achieving new milestones. Scroll below for the deets.

28 Years Later North America Box Office Projection( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Sony Pictures’ 28 Years Later is one of the most anticipated films of the year and the third film in the 28 Days Later film series. The projected weekend numbers for the upcoming post-apocalyptic horror film will be released this Friday. It is on track for a decent opening weekend at the box office in North America. Keep scrolling for more.

Like the Final Destination: Bloodlines, this sequel comes out after many years from the previous film. The last movie in this series was 28 Weeks Later, which was released in 2007. This film was directed by Danny Boyle, best known for the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire. Cillian Murphy featured in the Og film and is back on this project as an executive producer.

Ballerina North America Box Office: On Track To Beat John Wick(Photo Credit – Instagram)

John Wick, starring Keanu Reeves, is a well-known action thriller franchise, and its spin-off, Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas, was released earlier this month, which beat the opening weekend of the Og film and is now set to beat its entire collection at the box office in North America. Keep scrolling for more.

Ana’s film opened with a $24.5 million collection on its opening weekend at the box office in North America, slightly below the projected range. It barely had a week to shine at the cinemas as How to Train Your Dragon, and Materialists dropped this past Friday, taking away its thunder.

Before Ana de Armas became a Hollywood staple, she starred in War Dogs, a wild, gun-running rollercoaster based on a true story except, not really. Released nine years ago, the film marketed itself as a high-octane retelling of two 20-something hustlers landing a $300 million Pentagon arms deal.

Characters were fictionalized, timelines tweaked, and dramatic liberties taken like they were on sale. Ana de Armas played the worried girlfriend role, but even her part was a narrative invention. Turns out, the truth was messier, darker, and way less glam than Hollywood made it look.

Back in 2016, Ana de Armas starred in War Dogs, a wild ride “based on a true story” except, well, it wasn’t entirely true. And that’s putting it mildly.

Will Karate Kid: Legends Surpass The Collection Of 1984 Original? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Cobra Kai wrapped up its six-season journey earlier this year, and not long after, the franchise returned to the big screen with Karate Kid: Legends. This is the first Karate Kid film in 15 years and brings together Ralph Macchio’s original trilogy and Jackie Chan’s 2010 reboot.

The movie introduces Ben Wang as Li Fong, a young fighter caught between two generations of martial arts masters, with Daniel Larusso and Mr. Han guiding him through a new, high-stakes conflict that blends personal honor with physical challenge.

Legends opened in third place at the domestic box office despite strong competition from titles like Lilo & Stitch and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. It pulled in $20 million on its first weekend. That performance pushed the film past a significant milestone,...

Ana de Armas pleasantly surprised the audience with her portrayal of Eve Macarro, a young rookie assassin, training with the same people who turned a young John Wick into a good old killing machine. In Ballerina, Eve is fueled by revenge, looking to make the man who killed her father pay. The movie also gives fans a little sweet treat in the form of Keanu Reeves’ cameo, whose character we saw “dead” in John Wick: Chapter 4.

Since Ballerina has expanded the world of John Wick, fans are naturally curious if the film sets up a spin-off or sequel. Which is probably why, many may have stayed behind in the theaters after the screen faded to black, hoping for a post-credits scene. Does the film have one? Let’s find out how this was a solid move.

Karl Urban’s Mortal Kombat 2 is stepping into serious blockbuster territory, and it’s taking a page from Robert Downey Jr.’s $2.799 billion Marvel playbook. The upcoming sequel is reportedly adopting the same high-stakes, character-driven formula that helped turn Avengers: Endgame into a global phenomenon.

With Urban suiting up as the fan-fave Johnny Cage, Mortal Kombat 2 looks poised to elevate the franchise with bigger action, deeper arcs, and that Rdj-style charisma. If the strategy lands, this could be the Mortal Kombat movie that finally levels up from cult classic to box office titan.

Ana de Armas’ turn as a badass assassin is just what you might want to see in theaters now. She plays Eve Macarro in the John Wick spinoff movie, Ballerina. As expected, there are a number of stars returning from the original movies, including Ian McShane’s Winston Scott. McShane shared the one role of De Armas that impressed him before Ballerina.

In 2021, the Blonde actress played the Bond girl in Daniel Craig’s No Time to Die, although she is not too keen on that description for her in the film. Interestingly, not everyone was happy with her role in that film, not because of her fault, but because of the duration of her role.

Spoiler Alert !!!'Ballerina' Ending Spoilers Ahead!

It hasn’t been long since From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, the fifth installment in the action-thriller franchise, hit the screens, and yet, it is already one of the most buzzing talks of the town. An R-rated masterpiece tamed by Len Wiseman and led by Ana de Armas, it is being widely loved and praised by both fans and critics alike.

One of the parts of the movie that is being more highlighted than the rest is inevitably the way the story concluded for this titular female assassin protagonist. This is because it pretty much ended the same way that the second John Wick movie did — an idea that seems to have stemmed from Keanu Reeves’ imagination, per Wiseman.

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina largely plays out between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4.

In the movie, Ana de Armas' Eve is on a mission of revenge. However, when that causes untold chaos in the underworld, John Wick is dispatched to get her to stand down by any means necessary (to prevent a war between the Ruska Roma and the Chancellor's cult).

Eve reasons with John and is given until midnight to finish her bloody crusade; they team up, the Chancellor dies by her hand, and Wick returns to the shadows, ready to accept his fate in Chapter 4. 

In Ballerina's final moments, a $5 million bounty is placed on Eve's head as she watches a ballet performance. Her mission is far from over, and the stage is set for this character's story to continue in a sequel.

A lot of expectations ride on Ana de Armas’ Ballerina. Many franchises cannot survive the spin-off stage, burning out before they can expand. Although John Wick is one of the most beloved action series in the genre, it was also at risk of failing when the film was first announced. Along with this, female-led films in the action scene are rarely taken seriously, adding more to the gamble that the franchise was taking.

However, with the devoted following that de Armas has, little seems impossible, and they seem to have shown up in the masses. The film has just been released, and the numbers are so impressive that they are hitting new highs for the actress.

Within four months, we will witness one of the biggest clashes of Tollywood as Nandamuri Balakrishna and Pawan Kalyan are ready to go one-on-one. Their highly anticipated films, Akhanda 2 and Og, will be facing each other at the Indian box office, and it’s going to be total madness at ticket windows.

Keanu Reeves has always kept stuff low-key, but when it comes to Sandra Bullock, our guy just can’t seem to hide his soft spot. After years of fans rooting for this duo, Reeves is back with an update that’s turning up the heat. He wasn’t kidding when he said he adored her this time – his actions are doing all the talking.

Whether it’s a reunion in the works or something a little more heart-fluttery, Reeves’ latest reveal’s sparked a fresh wave of buzz. Looks like the Reeves-Bullock saga might just be getting a brand-new chapter.

Ballerina Marks New Peak For John Wick Universe With Record-Breaking Fan Reception (Photo Credit – Instagram)

John Wick’s world expands with Ballerina, a spin-off starring Ana de Armas that has finally arrived in theaters. The audiences are embracing the film enthusiastically even though critics gave it a lower score than other entries in the franchise.

The critics’ rating started at 75% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it has since dipped further, but viewers clearly disagree. The audience rating has soared to 94%, which is even more than John Wick: Chapter 4 (93%) and has become the highest in the series.

How Ballerina Compares to Other John Wick Films

This strong fan response comes after more than 500 verified ratings, showing that Ballerina might climb even higher before settling. For comparison, the original John Wick holds the lowest audience score at 82%, followed by Chapter 2 with 85%. Chapter 3 – Parabellum, which happens alongside Ballerina in the story timeline, improved...

Few stars have risen as swiftly and brilliantly as Ana de Armas in Hollywood’s ever-evolving landscape. Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1988, de Armas began her acting career at a young age and has since transitioned from Cuban and Spanish cinema to Hollywood.

It was a bold move when she moved to Los Angeles in 2014, despite knowing very little English. Yet, the move marked a turning point in her career after she mastered the language in just two years. The Cuban star quickly established herself as a versatile and captivating actress, proving her ability to deliver praiseworthy performances across any genre.

From sci-fi epics to gripping thrillers, witty comedies, and poignant dramas, Ana de Armas has garnered critical acclaim and a devoted fan base, making her one of the most exciting talents of her generation. As the actress prepares to star in Ballerina, a John Wick spin-off, we explore five...

After the incredible success of the John Wick movies, the franchise has moved on to the story of Eve, a ballerina-assassin training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma. As the overall fifth film of the universe, Ballerina stars Ana de Armas in the lead role. Of course, there is no doubt that the actress is brilliant in her craft. With movies like The Gray Man and Ghosted in her roster, she has established herself as a force to be reckoned with.

The thing with spin-offs, though, is that they don’t usually work out quite like the makers would hope. John Wick is a phenomenon in itself, and going out of their way to expand the assassin universe to tell more stories was a risk in itself. However, it looks like the risk has paid off, especially if we consider early reviews for Ballerina.

Ballerina might be a...

Ballerina is a new action movie that we can look forward to. It takes place in the John Wick universe. It’s the fifth film in the series and takes place between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4. The movie stars Ana de Armas as the main character, with Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Norman Reedus in supporting roles.

Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston, and Lance Reddick reprised their original characters, with Reddick appearing on screen for the last time before his passing.

The story came from a script written by Shay Hatten, which was picked up by Lionsgate in 2017. Hatten went on to help write the scripts for the third and fourth John Wick films. Len Wiseman was chosen as the director in 2019, and Chad Stahelski, the main director of the franchise, is one of the producers.

Ana de Armas took over the lead role from Unity Phelan,...

Following in the footsteps of Keanu Reeves’ John Wick was always going to be a tough ask for Ana De Armas’ foray into the world of assassins in From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, but first reviews suggest she has risen to the task of becoming the Wick universe’s newest kick-ass assassin – even if the film does have a tricky embargo in place, and some feel let down by the film in one particular way.

Ballerina’s story takes place between the third and fourth John Wick movies, allowing fans to be thrown right back into the world they know, and one where Reeve’s dog-loving killer has not met his maker. De Armas plays Eve, an assassin on a revenge mission to avenge her father, who is doing a very John Wick thing and taking on plenty of bad guys who would happily see her dead.

While...

We're now just a couple of weeks away from the release of Ballerina, and the social media embargo for the John Wick spin-off movie has lifted.

The first reactions are mostly positive, and it sounds like Ballerina is a worthy addition to this incredibly popular franchise. Star Ana de Armas comes in for universal praise and the action sequences are said to be top-notch, but quite a few posts mention that the story is lacking.

Somewhat surprisingly, Keanu Reeves' appearance as John Wick is also said to be detrimental to the movie overall.

The response isn't exactly glowing across the board, but Lionsgate probably didn't need to worry too much about these social media reactions... certainly not enough to send out the following email!

Lionsgate has embargoed negative and critical reviews of ‘Ballerina’ until Wednesday, June 4 — one day before release.

With the film holding its world premiere today, only positive...

The John Wick franchise premiered in 2014 with the first film starring Keanu Reeves. The neo-noir crime film series is still ongoing over a decade later, and it's just about to further expand with the first spinoff film.

The original film series features four films so far, with a fifth on the way. The universe also includes a spinoff television show, and Ballerina, the Ana de Armas-led spinoff film. Since its release in 2014, the franchise has grossed over $1 billion, and Ian McShane addressed how conspiracy theories helped John Wick grow in an interview with Cbr's Grae Drake.

While addressing his character Winston Scott's past, McShane shared his own theories on his background. He detailed how he and the late Lance Reddick's Charon might have come from the government, and further detailed how the franchise grew from conspiracy theories.

That's why Wick is good, because it takes you away somewhere else.

Ballerina is finally arriving in movie theaters on June 6, 2025, after being pushed back a year from its original release date, and its box office projections are promising. John Wick stands as one of the most successful and influential action franchises in cinematic history, now with a reported John Wick 5 in the works. However, fans will first see the first true John Wick spinoff, following a young woman also trained as an assassin by the Ruska Roma on a mission to avenge her father.

Ana de Armas' casting and franchise clout are paying off, as Deadline reports that Ballerina is projected to gross $35-40 million in its opening weekend. This puts it ahead of the John Wick franchise's biggest opening weekend to date, as John Wick: Chapter 2 grossed $30.2 million in the first three days. However, it is also lower than the opening weekends from PG-13 action franchise movies, including The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes...

The “John Wick” franchise has quickly become quite the priority at Lionsgate as they announced a wave of new films coming in the near future, including the news that star Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski are coming back for “John Wick 5.” On deck is “Ballerina,” the Len Wiseman-directed spinoff featuring actress Ana de Armas playing our newest protagonist, Eve Macarro.

Ballerina will debut Ana de Armas as a hard-hitting assassin, and the trailers confirm she can hold her own in action sequences. Armas said she had to prove her mettle behind the scenes, giving due credit to the stunt team.

Ana de Armas was overwhelmed by Ballerina's flamethrower scene. She recalled declining practice runs before filming, confident she could do it; thankfully, the stunt crew insisted she test out the weapon just the same. "I remember the first day the stunt team was practicing with the fire, and they told me to go do it before the shoot, and I said, 'No, no, no, I'll be fine,'" she told Entertainment Weekly. "They got the main fire guy that gets burned, and he's all covered in this sticky grease or whatever they put for protection, and they're like, 'Okay, go ahead. Just burn him.'"

That seemed like a nonchalant...

Deadpool & Wolverine actress Dafne Keen has signed up to star in 'raunchy' movie The Marshmallow Experiment. Keen will be co-starring with Johnny Knoxville in the coming-of-age comedy.

Deadline reports Sam McCarthy (Dead to Me and Goosebumps: The Vanishing) will lead The Marshmallow Experiment as a sexually-frustrated teenager who unplugs from the internet after a disastrous sexual encounter with his dream girl. The teen is then guided on a journey of self-discovery by a talking gorilla, all while avoiding his influencer parents and rogue AI avatars.

Pablo's Richard Goldgewicht will direct alongside Matt Hamilton and Abe Frank, with Virgin River star Jayce Barreiro and Graem Luis (Night Comes) on board as producers.

From charming us as a hotshot pilot to saving the world over and over again, Tom Cruise has done it all. He is the literal definition of a superstar, and there is no one who has come close to his level in the industry. Unfortunately, despite being one of the biggest and most well-known names around the world, Tom Cruise’s love life hasn’t been kind to him. After his highly-publicized divorce from Katie Holmes, the actor was never confirmed to be in a serious relationship, but, of course, there have been rumors here and there.

After reports of him dating Hayley Atwell and Shakira, it looks like another actress has been added to the list – Ana de Armas. That’s right; if the rumors were to be believed, the Ballerina actress might have found herself in Tom Cruise’s line of sight.

While others are convinced there’s a romance brewing between the two. Whether it’s business, pleasure, or something in between, the duo currently has all the eyeballs on them, and fans are eager to find out what’s really going on!

Ana de Armas finds Tom Cruise’s star power attractive, per report!

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have been making headlines with their recent outings, and the internet is having a field day trying to figure out what’s really going on between them.

It’s now only a few months until the “John Wick” franchise is back on the big screen — this time, with the Oscar-nominated Ana de Armas in the lead.

The new trailer for “Ballerina” shows de Armas in action as Eve Macarro, a Russian ballerina-turned-assassin with an eye for vengeance against the men who killed her family. But de Armas isn’t alone, as Keanu Reeves makes his anticipated return as John Wick.

“Ballerina” takes place in between “John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum” and “John Wick: Chapter 4,” expanding the assassin role originally played by Unity Phelan with de Armas’ take on the character. The film comes two years since audiences saw Reeves in the fourth entry, which became the highest-grossing installment in the series with a worldwide gross of over $440 million. Altogether, the first four “John Wick” films grossed over $1 billion worldwide.

If you want to take full advantage of the legendary Hong Kong action star's talents, well, you hire him as the director of your action franchise.

That easily takes the title for the most exciting news of the day, courtesy of Collider.

General Hospital spoilers and updates reveal heartbreaking news; as viewers watched Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) fictitious home destroyed by fire, it happened to actor Cameron Mathison. Cameron, of course, plays Drew Quartermaine, and in a cruel twist of fate, as Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) wished Drew would lose everything, his portrayer did in real life!

General Hospital Spoilers – Sad Real Life Coincidences

The episode where Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) fictitiously is caught in a fire and burned was ironically and sadly pre-empted for news of massive fires in California.

One of the areas that burned included Cameron Mathison’s real-life home, but unlike what happened fictitiously to Michael, neither Cameron or anyone in the house was hurt.

He took to Instagram to tell what happened and to assure his fans that he’s okay. Many of his fans were worried and he took the time to take a video of...

The first segment of “The View” on Monday ended in a heated clash between Whoopi Goldberg and Ana Navarro, as the ABC hosts debated just how panicked people should be about Donald Trump’s second term.

The discussion started as the women broke down the president-elect’s weekend appearance on “Meet the Press,” where he made more threats against various institutions and people he dislikes, specifically saying that the Jan. 6 investigative committee should be thrown in jail.

When pressed on whether he’d specifically direct his choice to lead the FBI to send them to jail, though, Trump said he wouldn’t.

“He’s telling them to do it through ‘Meet the Press,’ if he hasn’t done it in private already,” Navarro argued. “And he’s appointing people who are 100% loyal to him, and who know that if they want to keep their jobs, they have to do what he wants them to do.

Jason Statham has made a name for himself in the action genre, and his films grossed millions of dollars at the box office. Although the British actor is usually typecast in the action-thriller genre, one of his underrated sci-fi films has become a new hit on streaming platforms.

In 2008, Statham starred in Death Race, which was a remake of the 1975 classic Death Race 2000. The sci-fi, high-octane action thriller has recently switched platforms, and it's already a hit on social media, taking over the Top 10 and positioning itself in the eighth position, ScreenRant reports. The film bested Megamind and Ninja Assasin, making a strong debut on the streaming platform.
