John Boyega, who played Finn in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, has been vocal about his disappointment with Lucasfilm for several reasons, primarily centered around the handling of his character and the broader treatment of diverse actors in the franchise. Below, I’ll break down the key reasons for his frustration, using simple language and drawing from his own words and relevant sources, while keeping the tone casual but clear.

Boyega felt that Finn, a former Stormtrooper introduced as a major character in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), was sidelined as the trilogy progressed. He believed Finn was set up to be a central figure, possibly even a Jedi, but his role shrank in The Last Jedi (2017) and The Rise of Skywalker (2019).

In a 2020 interview with British GQ, Boyega said, “What I would say to Disney is do not bring out a Black character, market them to be much more...

Kingdom Box Office Collection Day 4 Update!(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Kingdom was expected to end the bad spell of Vijay Deverakonda at the box office. Unfortunately, our Rowdy is in for another disappointment as the graph continued its downward trend throughout the extended first weekend. Scroll below for the day 4 report!

How much did Kingdom earn in its opening weekend?

The opening day set new milestones for Vijay Deverakonda as he recorded his biggest opening day in history. This was followed by an unexpected 58% crash on Friday. As per Sacnilk, Kingdom minted 7.06 crores on day 4, witnessing another 12% dip compared to 8 crores on Saturday.

The net earnings in India come to 40.56 crores. Including taxes, the opening weekend of Kingdom concludes at 47.86 crores gross.

José María Cravioto’s “Wheels, Weed & Rock n’ Roll: The Legend of the Mexican Woodstock” and Victoria Franco’s “Twelve Moons” feature in the Mezcal Mexican competition at this year’s Guadalajara Film Festival.

Its other main competition, focusing on Ibero-American fiction movies and doc features, takes in two of the biggest hits this year from Spain, Portugal and Latin America: Brazilian Gabriel Mascaró’s “The Blue Trail” and Spaniard Eva Libertad’s “Deaf,” both big hits at Berlin.

As importantly, the Ibero-American Competition also highlights tales which deserve far more attention: a highly thoughtful first feature from Gerard Oms, “Away” (“Molt Lluny”), with a career-high turn by star Mario Casas; “Martina’s Search,” led by the frequently magnificent Argentinian player Mercedes Morán, and Puerto Rico’s “This Island,” part of a new Caribbean cinema which is ever more frequently scoring top fest berths.

Now on its 14th edition, the Guadalajara Film Festival’s (Ficg) Premio Maguey sidebar celebrates LGBTQ+ cinema with the addition of series and an animated feature for the first time.

“If we’re talking about inclusion, then we have to practice it ourselves, right? So naturally, it’s also about creating space for diverse content — stories and perspectives that enrich our program in meaningful ways,” said Premio Maguey programming director Pavel Cortés.

10 core films in competition are joined by six others from the other competitive sections, as in the case of toon “Lesbian Space Princess,” which also competes in the animation sidebar.

The series debuting at Premio Maguey are “Amor de papel,” “La Engañada,” shot in Jalisco, and Gabriel Ripstein’s crime dramedy “Mentiras,” which will be honored with a Gala, said Cortés.

“Amor de papel,” directed by Edu Cortés, turns on Christian, a man immersed in his books and fantasies,...

The Guadalajara International Film Festival (Ficg) is proudly celebrating its 40th edition with a milestone: Mexico’s first-ever stop-motion animated feature, “I Am Frankelda” (“Soy Frankelda”), which opens the festival.

Running June 6-14, the country’s most prominent film festival launches a new genre section that features five pics led by Pablo Stoll’s zombie dramedy “Summer Hit” (“El tema del verano”) and Emilio Portes’ “Don’t Leave the Kids Alone.” This new by invitation only sidebar would be the 10th competitive section of the fest.

“It’s never been easy to put on a festival in Mexico – there are a lot of people who don’t really understand the work that goes into it. But what truly matters is that, for 40 years, through changing tides, shifting governments and opposition from both inside and out, we’ve kept the festival alive. And what we’ve come to realize is that...
