Lionsgate has just released the official trailer for The Long Walk, a new dystopian horror film based on Stephen King’s 1979 novel, written under his pen name Richard Bachman. The film is directed by Francis Lawrence, known for The Hunger Games series, and it’s set to hit U.S. theaters on September 12, 2025.

The story takes place in a grim future where the U.S. is controlled by a brutal regime. Every year, a group of teenage boys is forced to take part in a walking contest. It sounds simple, but there’s a deadly twist: if they drop below three miles per hour for too long, they’re killed. The walk only ends when one boy is left standing.

The cast is packed with rising stars and familiar faces. Cooper Hoffman plays the lead role of Raymond Garraty. David Jonsson takes on the role of Peter McVries, and Mark Hamill...

The first trailer for The Long Walk has just been released during Sdcc, giving fans a chilling look at the upcoming Stephen King adaptation that’s set to hit theaters on September 12, 2025. Directed by Francis Lawrence, the film is based on King’s 1979 novel written under his pen name Richard Bachman.

It’s a tense, dystopian horror story set in a version of the U.S. where freedom is gone and survival is everything.

The movie follows a group of teenage boys who are forced to take part in a brutal walking contest. The rules are simple, but deadly, you must keep walking at a speed of at least three miles per hour, and if you slow down too much or stop, you’re executed on the spot.

Only one walker is allowed to survive, and the last one standing wins. It’s a test of endurance, fear, and pain,...

Lionsgate’s The Long Walk marched into Hall H with a mission: to make a tough subject matter too enticing to resist.

The Comic-Con panel not only revealed the newest trailer for the adaptation of the Stephen King novel, that has at its heart a downer of a conceit, but it also showed the first 22 minutes of the movie. The story focuses on an annual contest in which 100 teen boys set out on the titular journey under the watchful eye of hard-driving army commander played by Mark Hamill. The walk ends with just a single survivor.

The assembled crowd of over 6,500 fans was given plenty of warning from the moderators that the some scenes may not be suited for all audiences, on top of the usual warnings of curse words. How intense was the open section? Well, the audience never truly found out because the scene showing the first death was blacked out.

"I don't have much to lose, but I have everything to gain – that's why I'm here." Dang, this looks fantastic! Lionsgate has marched out the second trailer for The Long Walk, an extremely intense new thriller from filmmakers Francis Lawrence & Jt Mollner about a dystopian America. Based on storyteller Stephen King’s first-written novel, and Francis Lawrence, director of The Hunger Games films, comes this grueling story of boys out on a never-ending walk. In the near future, where America has become a police state, one hundred boys are selected to enter an annual contest where the winner will be awarded whatever he wants for the rest of his life. The brutal game is simple - maintain a steady walking pace of three miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings, and you're out – forever. It's win or die, on this walk. Starring Cooper Hoffman + David Jonsson (from Alien: Romulus), Garrett Wareing,...

The first 22 minutes of the Stephen King adaptation “The Long Walk” debuted at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, following the debut of the new red-band trailer and a panel featuring the cast, including Mark Hamill, David Jonsson (“Alien: Romulus”), Tut Nyuot and Garrett Wareing (“Manifest”).

The film is adapted from King’s 1979 novel (first written when he was 19!), set in an authoritarian America in which 50 young adult men join a televised contest to walk continuously at a pace of at least three miles per hour — or they’ll be killed. Hamill plays a man only known as the Major, the military commander who oversees the Walk and gives the walkers their literal marching orders. In the panel, Hamill said that when director Francis Lawrence approached him about playing the part, it immediately evoked his teenage years in Japan, where he went to school next to a U.S. military base.

Today, Lionsgate released the new trailer for The Long Walk at San Diego Comic-Con, where the studio also screened the first 22 minutes of the film. The September 12 release is based on the 1979 novel by Stephen King.

The Long Walk is an intense, chilling, and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go?

From the highly anticipated adaptation of master storyteller Stephen King’s first-written novel, and Francis Lawrence, the visionary director of The Hunger Games franchise films.

The cast includes Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, and Josh Hamilton, with Judy Greer and Mark Hamill.

The thriller, which features a screenplay by Jt Mollner, was produced by Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping), and Cameron MacConomy.

Lionsgate (The Strangers – Chapter 2) is presenting, in association with Media Capital Technologies,...

Fresh out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, the brand new trailer for Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk has shambled its way online. Watch Official Trailer 2 down below.

Based on Stephen King’s 1979 novel of the same name, The Long Walk arrives in theaters on September 12 from Lionsgate. Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, Constantine) directed.

The story follows Raymond Garraty, a 16-year old who takes part in an annual contest in which 100 teens must journey, nonstop and under strict rules, until only one is left alive.

Jt Mollner (Strange Darling) wrote the film’s screenplay.

Cooper Hoffman (Licorice Pizza), David Jonsson (Alien: Romulus), Garrett Wareing (“Manifest”), Tut Nyout (“Witcher: Blood Origin”), Charlie Plummer (The Clovehitch Killer), Ben Wang (Karate Kid: Legends), Roman Griffin Davis (Jojo Rabbit), Jordan Gonzalez (“Pretty Little Liars: Origin Sin”), Joshua Odjick (Welcome to Derry), Josh Hamilton (“Walking Dead”), Judy Greer (Halloween), and Mark Hamill (The Life of Chuck) star.

The movie adaptation of Stephen King's The Long Walk will reportedly not be toned down for the big screen, staying true to the King of Horror's bleak foray into dystopian fiction. Published in 1979 under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, The Long Walk has been in development for decades, and is finally making it to movie theaters on Sept. 11, 2025.

The Long Walk depicts a group of teenage boys who participate in the titular competition and must walk as long as they can, as they will be killed if they fail to keep pace; this goes on until there is only one left standing. Thus, it is certainly a dark and disturbing book, but this has not always remained the case with movies adapted from such source material.

However, while The Long Walk movie is not yet officially rated, it seems to be leaning towards an R rating. At the movie's panel...

The new trailer for The Long Walk reveals a better look at the Stephen King adaptation at San Diego Comic-Con. The dystopian film is based on the novel of the same name by King (originally published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman). The film focuses on a group of teenage boys competing in an annual last-one-standing contest where they must keep walking or die.

Adaptations of The Long Walk were attempted and shot down for years, but the first completed version will finally be released in theaters this year and is helmed by Francis Lawrence. The cast is set to include Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Mark Hamill, Ben Wang, Charlie Plummer, Judy Greer, Garrett Wareing, and Roman Griffin Davis.

At Sdcc, Lionsgate has released a new trailer for The Long Walk. The trailer opens with a brief moment of levity, as Jonsson's Peter McVries notes that he was warned not...

The latest trailer for Stephen King’s “The Long Walk” has the 50 contestants struggling to find meaning for why they compete.

The film follows 50 boys from around the country who are selected (or volunteer) to compete in the annual Long Walk. The rules are simple: keep up a pace of 3 miles per hour and you’re good, slow down enough to get three warnings and you “punch your ticket” — aka, get killed. The killing happens right on the road as the rest of the contestants have to keep walking until there is only one left.

“I keep hoping that part gets easier,” Pete McVries (David Jonsson) says in Friday’s trailer after a kid is taken out. “That’s what I’m afraid of,” Ray Garraty (Cooper Hoffman) responds.

The Walk takes place in a vaguely dystopian version of America. Most things are as normal as expected, but the event...

It’s time for marching orders. Lionsgate dropped a new trailer for The Long Walk today during the pic’s Hall H San Diego Comic-Con presentation Friday. Author of the novel that inspired the film Stephen King introduced the clip via video message, alluding to the Vietnam War and drawing attention to how this story came out long before The Hunger Games and Squid Game.

“It’s got some hard bark on it,” King added of the adaptation.

Based on King’s 1979 dystopian horror novel of the same name, The Long Walk takes place in a disillusioned America that is entertained by a competition called The Long Walk— a challenge in which 50 teenage boys walk continuously without rest. As the journey continues, each competitor must keep walking faster than three miles per hour nonstop or risk being killed. The last boy remaining will earn a prize of their choosing.

“I...

At San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that Stephen King was very involved in the casting behind The Long Walk. The story is a dystopian novel that King originally published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. It focuses on the story of a group of boys made to participate in a competition called The Long Walk, where they must continuously walk or risk being shot.

Over the years, The Long Walk has gone through multiple adaptation attempts. First, Night of the Living Deaddirector George A. Romero was approached to direct a version of the book, but that never came to fruition. Over 15 years went by before the rights were secured by Frank Darabont in 2007.

Darabont's rights eventually lapsed when his project never came to fruition, and control over the story went to New Line Cinema in 2018. New Line even announced a director in 2019, marking the third attempt to make the film.

Last year, an adaptation of the Stephen King novel The Long Walk (which was, like The Running Man and Thinner, published under the pen name Richard Bachman) went into production, with director Francis Lawrence, whose previous credits include Constantine, I Am Legend, Water for Elephants, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Parts 1 and 2, Red Sparrow, Slumberland, and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, at the helm. Lionsgate will be releasing the film on September 12th – and today, the film was promoted with a panel at San Diego Comic-Con! Although a trailer was just recently released , Sdcc attendees got to see a new trailer, which was introduced by a video of Stephen King (he’s not at Sdcc). JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray said it’s a “very cool trailer, has the shocking image of seeing Mark Hamill use the F-word. Does a good job...

The Karate Kid is an ’80s icon. It was an underdog story which used the burgeoning martial arts movement in the US to capture the fight to survive adolescence and enchant the imagination of a generation.

We love The Karate Kid here on HeyUGuys, and recently looked back at the franchise as it endured through the decades, with sequels, a reboot and a stunningly successful TV show in Cobra Kai. With this year’s release of Karate Kid: Legends the stage has been set for a new generation. Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han teams up with the original Karate Kid Daniel Larusso (a welcome return to the big screen for Ralph Macchio) to blend their distinctive styles to guide Ben Wang’s Li Fong in a combative, coming of age blockbuster.

As the Home Premiere of Karate Kid: Legends has arrived there has never been a better time to dive...

Fans are now able to watch the latest installment in the Karate Kid franchise at home with Karate Kid: Legends releasing on digital July 8. The film both looks forward to the future of martial arts with Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan teaching Ben Wang’s Li Fong, but also looking back as Mr. Han (Chan) seeks out Daniel Larusso (Macchio) to learn Mr. Miyagi’s way of Karate. Mr. Miyagi, Daniel’s original Sensei, has been a legacy presence during the entire run of Cobra Kai, and on into Karate Kid: Legends.

Now Collider is unveiling an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, Honoring the Miyagi Legacy, with Macchio celebrating the legacy of Pat Morita, who played Mr. Miyagi. Morita passed away in 2005, long before the Netflix spin-off series, Cobra Kai, that brought back Macchio’s Daniel La Russo. In the featurette, Macchio along with Ming-Na Wen, who plays Dr. Fong, reflects on...

HBO’s Welcome to Derry series has finally received a major update for the highly anticipated horror prequel to Warner Bros.’ blockbuster It franchise, based on the classic 1986 novel by Stephen King.

In a new poster shared by HBO Max, it has been confirmed that It: Welcome to Derry will officially make its long-awaited debut sometime in October 2025.

Prior to its HBO premiere, fans attending the show’s San Diego Comic Con panel on July 26 will get a chance to watch an exclusive sneak peek from the first episode. Executive producers Andy and Barbara Muschietti will be present at the event, where attendees will also get free ice cream.

The Long Walkgets a set of overtly ominous character posters reminding audiences to "Walk Or Die."

As seen on the Upcoming Horror Movies, the upcoming feature film adaptation of Stephen King's The Long Walk has just received a whole set of character posters for nine members of the film's core cast. Each poster features its respective star standing just in front of the word "Walk," while the words "Or Die" dominate the foreground in front of them. Among the stars to receive this particular character poster treatment are Garrett Wareing, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, David Jonsson, Cooper Hoffman, Ben Wang, Charlie Plummer, Mark Hamill, and Roman Griffin Davis.

Based on King's 1979 novel of the same name, The Long Walkis directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by writer Jt Mollner. The Long Walk takes place in a dystopian version of the United States, wherein the ruling totalitarian regime submits...

Lionsgate will be releasing the film on September 12th – and today, a batch of character posters have been unveiled! You can check them out at the bottom of this article.

Horror is taking over Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con later this month, with Bloody Disgusting’s The Toxic Avenger notably becoming the first Unrated movie in history to host its own Hall H panel. It’s being joined by the Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk, which we’ve learned will be hosting its own Hall H panel at Sdcc on Friday, July 25th from 3 to 4 Pm.

The Hall H panel, moderated by Eric Vespe and Anthony Breznican, hosts of King podcast The Kingcast, will include stars David Jonsson, Tut Nyuot, Garrett Wareing, Charlie Plummer, and Mark Hamill, along with producer Roy Lee and screenwriter Jt Mollner.

While you wait, Lionsgate has unleashed a series of character posters today. Find them below.

Based on Stephen King‘ 1979 novel of the same name, The Long Walk arrives in theaters on September 12 from Lionsgate. You can also watch the previously released trailer below.

"Karate Kid: Legends" is a legacy sequel that bridges the gap between the most disparate corners of the franchise. The film follows O.G. star Daniel LuRusso (Ralph Macchio) and the sensei from the 2010 "Karate Kid" reboot, Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), as they combine their veteran expertise in kung fu and karate to prepare young Li Fong (Ben Wang) for the ultimate martial arts competition. The film offers a prototypical "Karate Kid" story about a young underdog having to overcome the odds, and it's entertaining viewing if you're a fan of flicks of this ilk.

Unfortunately, "Karate Kid: Legends" wasn't a mammoth box office success, earning just $104 million on the back of a $45 million budget. This suggests that the millions of fans who discovered the property through Netflix's hugely successful "Cobra Kai" spin-off series weren't as excited about a new movie set in this universe. However, some viewers will...

Karate Kid: Legends brought together multiple generations of fighters from across the world — and in this deleted scene released exclusively to Screen Rant, they all come together for family. The clip focuses on Victor Lipani's pizza shop in New York City, where Ben Wang's Li Fong regales everyone with a story of how Jackie Chan's Mr. Han and Ralph Macchio's Daniel faced off with O'Shea's men when they tried to attack Li during the Five Boroughs Tournament.

They're soon greeted by Li's mother Dr. Fong, who joins them for the impromptu evening at the restaurant. Dr. Fong is played by Ming-Na Wen, playing an important supporting role as the reason Li needs to move to New York City and serving as an emotional conflict for Li to confront.

Cobra Kai, the TV series continuation of the Karate Kid film franchise, just wrapped up its six season run back in February, but we’ve already gotten another follow-up with the feature film Karate Kid: Legends, which reached theatres at the end of May. As we reported earlier today, Karate Kid: Legends has now received a digital release, with a physical media release (including a 6-movie Karate Kid film collection on 4K) to follow in August. Now, to mark the occasion of the digital release, we’ve gotten our hands on an Exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette that focuses on cast member Joshua Jackson and the character he plays. To hear Jackson discuss fighting and portraying fathers, check out the featurette embedded above.

Directed by Jonathan Entwistle from a screenplay written by Rob Lieber, Karate Kid: Legends has the following synopsis: After a family tragedy, kung fu prodigy Li Fong is uprooted...

Ashley Benson, Emily Alyn Lind, Madelaine Petsch and Sadie Stanley have been tapped for the lead roles in “Pretty Babies,” an indie female friendship drama written and directed by Tyler-Marie Evans, who makes her feature debut.

Set to enter production later this summer, the film follows two teenage girls who run away to Hollywood, chasing stardom, but their dreams lead them into prostitution, trapping them in the dark underbelly of the sex work industry as they travel from Texas to California.

“’Pretty Babies’ is a love letter to Old Hollywood. We’re pushing into something new with this script, and

that excitement has been palpable from the start, and something felt by every collaborator,” said Evans.

Christine Vachon from Killer Films is producing, alongside Jordan Wagner from Wagner Entertainment. Benson will produce. Amanda Larney of Killer Films is associate producing.

“When I first met Tyler-Marie, I knew immediately there was something special about her.

Millions Hunt. One Runs. Everyone Watches. The upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's The Running Man has unleashed its gripping first trailer. Starring Twisters and Top Gun: Maverick star Glen Powell, The Running Man is set to be released in theaters on November 7, 2025. The first footage from the dystopian action movie promises all manner of high-stakes sprinting and evasion as Powell takes the lead as a man fighting for his life on a deadly show on prime-time television.

The Running Man is a new reimagining of the 1982 novel of the same name by King, which was already adapted in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger as the lead. The story takes place in a future dystopian society where audiences have become obsessed with a new game show called The Running Man. In the game, the contestants must find a way to escape from hunters who are out to kill them on live television.

Asturias se convierte en la arena de los Quincuagésimos Juegos del Hambre. © Lionsgate

Ya es oficial: el Parque Natural de Somiedo, en pleno corazón de Asturias, será uno de los enclaves de rodaje de Los juegos del hambre: Amanecer en la cosecha. Y no es para menos. Con sus frondosos bosques y su lago rodeado de imponentes montañas, el paisaje parece hecho a medida para recrear la estética de las arenas vistas en anteriores entregas de la saga basada en las novelas de Suzanne Collins.

Pero, ojo, no será el único paraje asturiano que sirva de escenario para la película. La vecina Teverga también formará parte del itinerario de rodaje, concretamente el Hayedo de Montegrande, próximo al puerto de Ventana, considerado uno de los pulmones verdes más espectaculares del suroccidente asturiano.

Y es que, según ha adelantado el diario La Nueva España, la superproducción internacional de Lionsgate ha iniciado...

It's probably not a great sign when a franchise movie grosses less than a third at the box office than its predecessor, but that's unfortunately the fate that has befallen Sony's Karate Kid: Legends. Even as the studio enjoys the success of Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later, which is only a week old and already the highest-grossing installment of the series, Karate Kid: Legends is hobbling towards the finish line with a smaller haul. The movie didn't even come close to challenging the 2010 reboot starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. But ahead of its digital debut, the film passed its first (and what will likely be its final) global box office milestone.

With around $51 million each domestically and from overseas markets, the movie's cumulative global haul now stands at $102 million. The good news is that it costs only around $45 million to produce, which means that it's probably already profitable,...

Netflix’s Cobra Kai might have ended after 6 seasons, but that doesn’t mean the dojo doors are closed for good, especially not when there’s still so much untapped potential in the Karate Kid universe. We’re bound to see Daniel Larusso, Johnny Lawrence and, maybe even, Mr. Miyagi again somewhere down the line. Now, a new poster for a Netflix spin-off based on Mr Miyagi is making the rounds on social media, and fans are super hyped for the origin story. Now, before you get too hyped, let’s clear something up. No, Netflix hasn’t officially greenlit a Mr. Miyagi spinoff. The viral poster doing the rounds is total fan-made fakery. Yet that hasn’t stopped Cobra Kai fans from begging Netflix to make it. And maybe the idea isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds. Just a few weeks ago, actor Shiro Nobunaga revealed on social...

"Karate Kid: Legends" is a whole lot of movie. More specifically , this "Karate Kid" legacy sequel is two different movies awkwardly stitched together. Directed by John Entwistle, "Legends" serves as a sequel to both the 1984 "The Karate Kid" and the 2010 reboot/remake of the same name starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan.

In "Legends," the new "karate kid" is not actually a complete underdog; in fact, he has a lot of experience in kung fu. Ben Wang stars as Li Fong, who moves from the big city to a smaller place, gets a crush on a girl, and makes an enemy out of her violent karate-enthusiast ex-boyfriend. Except, there's more to this movie than that, and that includes a bizarre subplot about Li coaching his new girlfriend's dad to utilize kung fu in a boxing match.

Of course, Li also enters a karate tournament himself because it wouldn't be a "Karate Kid" movie without one.

When auditioning for the role of a younger Haymitch in the upcoming Hunger Games prequel film, Sunrise on the Reaping, Joseph Zada had some competition.

In an interview with People magazine, Zada’s We Were Liars costar Emily Alyn Lind recalled talking to him when he was auditioning for the coveted role.

“So, I was FaceTiming him because he was like, ‘I’m in L.A.’ And I’m like, ‘What are you doing in L.A., loser? Let’s hang out,’ ” Emily Alyn Lind said. “And I FaceTime him and he is at this hotel and he’s being Joe. And he’s like, ‘Yeah, I’m out here. You can’t tell anyone but it’s down to me and a couple [other] people for this Hunger Games thing.’”

“And I was like, ‘Oh, no fucking way. That’s so sick,’ ” Lind added. “And he’s naming names that...

Karate Kids: Legend Worldwide Box Office: Set To Hit This Major Milestone ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Karate Kid: Legends is performing decently at the box office and will soon hit a major milestone worldwide. The movie is just a whisker away from hitting the $50 million mark at the North American box office. Jackie Chan’s film received mixed negative reviews, and this has also affected its box office collection. Keep scrolling for more.

It introduces Ben Wang as the main lead and is the sixth film in the Karate Kid franchise. It is a continuation of The Karate Kid and the TV series Cobra Kai. The critics gave it just 51% on the Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer, but the audience gave it an amazing 91%. The viewers say, “With fun choreography that blends Kung Fu and Karate and a moving story that weaves the old and the new, it makes for a winning entry in the franchise.

Suzanne Collins gave her readers a huge gift in returning to the world of The Hunger Games series, the first three books of which she wrote in 2008, 2009 and 2010, for the prequel story of one Haymitch Abernathy.

Haymitch, portrayed by Woody Harrelson in the quartet of films based on Collins’ original book trilogy, was Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark’s (Josh Hutcherson) mentor for their two Hunger Games — the 74th and 75th.

Ralph Fiennes is no stranger to iconic villain roles — he’s arguably best known for portraying Voldemort in the Harry Potter films — but he’s finally broken his silence on his next antagonist role. Fiennes has been tapped to play President Snow in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, which is due to begin filming next month and will be released on November 20, 2026. He takes over the role from the late Donald Sutherland, who portrayed the character in all four Jennifer Lawrence-led films before his passing last year. Fiennes caught up with The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet for his new movie, 28 Years Later, and he was asked what it felt like taking over the role from Sutherland, who was universally lauded as one of the best performers in the Hunger Games movies:

"Look, I'm a Donald Sutherland fan. I'm not going to try and be Donald Sutherland,...

After Cobra Kai’s success, Karate Kid: Legends was supposed to be the movie that kept the franchise’s hype alive. It was the much-anticipated sixth installment, headlined by Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan, who reprised their fan-favorite roles in the movie. While everyone expected something refreshing like the Netflix series, Legends didn’t deliver a solid punch, and that has reflected in its box office numbers.

It felt so underwhelming that even Jaden Smith’s 2010 remake has emerged more successful among the two films. So, why did the multi-starrer feature fall behind? What could they have improved, and learned from Chan and Smith’s movie?

Karate Kid: Legends hits a crucial box office milestone in less than a month in theaters. The martial arts franchise has relaunched with its first movie installment since the 2010 reboot that starred Jackie Chan as Mr. Han. Following the six-season success of Cobra Kaion Netflix, Legends collides the worlds of Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) and Mr. Han, as they attempt to train the next karate kid, Li Fong (Ben Wang). The sequel debuted with a modest $21 million domestic opening and has since been slowly climbing the franchise's box office charts.

According to Deadline, Karate Kid: Legends has already passed the $95 million global milestone in less than a month. The sequel is expected to conclude the week with a $98.3 million global total, which consists of $49.3 million domestically and $48.8 million internationally. The movie is currently sitting as the third-highest-grossing Karate Kid movie after overtaking the original 1984 installment earlier last week.

Why The...

While the summer movie season has already delivered a string of hit movies, two heavy hitters have surprisingly fallen short of expectations. Joining From the World of John Wick: Ballerina on this list is Karate Kid: Legends, the latest installment in the long-running sports franchise. The movie serves as a legacy sequel of sorts to both the original series and the 2010 reboot starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. However, it has grossed less than a third of that movie so far, and is unlikely to generate much more as it finds itself being tackled by new competition week after week.

With a hair under $50 million domestically and around $48 million from overseas markets, Karate Kid: Legends is essentially neck-and-neck with Ballerina. The movie has grossed a cumulative total of $99 million worldwide, compared to Ballerina’s running global haul of over $100 million. However, the John Wick spin-off cost around twice as much as Karate Kid: Legends,...

A new crop of tributes are entering the arena. Laura Marcus, Percy Daggs IV, Rada Rae and Jhaleil Swaby have joined the cast of Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on The Reaping.”

They join previously announced ensemble members Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin, Elle Fanning, Ralph Fiennes, McKenna Grace, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Maya Hawke, Whitney Peak, Jesse Plemons, Billy Porter, Lili Taylor, Ben Wang and Joseph Zada.

Laura Marcus stars as Silka, the career tribute from District 1. Later in 2025, Marcus will star in Netflix’s “Death By Lighting” as former U.S. president James Garfield’s daughter Mollie Garfield. She can currently be seen in the Hulu/Disney+ series “Andor” as Beela. Marcus previously starred as Elisabeth in “The Serpent Queen” for Starz, Jinx in BBC’s “Bad Education”, BBC’s “The Jetty” as Caitlin, Amazon Studios “The Devil’s Hour”, and her film starring roles include “The Great Escaper.”

Karate Kid: Legends continues to ascend the franchise's box office rankings and is now nearing a major global milestone. Directed by Jonathan Entwistle, the latest installment in the long-running Karate Kid franchise follows kung fu prodigy Li Fong (Ben Wang) as he becomes a student of Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) and Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) in order to train for a major karate competition. Karate Kid: Legends reviews have been mixed from critics, but the film has been more popular with audiences, opening with $20.3 million at the box office.

Now, dew data from The Numbers reveals that Legends has now grossed a worldwide total of $91.4 million, meaning it has beaten the original 1984 movie's total of $90.8 million (not adjusted for inflation). The new film's worldwide total comprises $45.7 million domestically and the same figure internationally, bringing it one step closer to the major $100 million milestone.

What This Means For Karate Kid: Legends...

Exclusive: Jhaleil Swaby (The Lake) has been cast in Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping as Panache, a crude and aggressive career tribute from District 1, known for his arrogance and ruthlessness, sources confirm to Deadline. The film is set to premiere on November 20, 2026.

Based on the bestselling novel by Suzanne Collins, the latest installment of the Hunger Games dystopian YA franchise revisits the world of Panem 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. The story centers on 16-year-old Haymitch (Joseph Zada), a clever and resourceful boy from District 12, who’s unexpectedly chosen for this edition of the games, featuring a deadly twist: twice the number of tributes, with 48 children sent into the arena to battle for their lives.

In addition to Zada, the previously announced cast includes...

Jeremiah Fraites, co-founder and songwriter of the Grammy-nominated alternative folk band The Lumineers, has composed the score for The Long Walk, Variety has learned.

Based on Stephen King‘ 1979 novel of the same name, The Long Walk is directed by Francis Lawrence and written by Jt Mollner (Strange Darling).

“Francis [Lawrence] and I had a really great initial phone call that helped inform what instrumentation we thought would work,” commented Fraites. “Strings and piano felt right in servicing the expected horror you’d find in Stephen King canon. The real challenge for me was going to be writing music that would properly represent the deep relationships these boys were forming while on this brutal walk.”

“We met years ago when the band the Lumineers did a song for the [The Hunger Games] Catching Fire soundtrack — Jeremiah and I had remained friends after that, and stayed in contact,” added Lawrence. “He’d send me vinyl versions...

Written by “Late Night with Seth Meyers” writer Mike Scollins and starring Ben Wang, “Brian” follows an “acerbic, accident-prone high school student” (Wang) who runs for class president “in an attempt to get closer to his teacher.” William H. Macy plays Brian’s therapist while Colley plays a new friend.

The cast also includes Thomas Barbusca, Rightor Doyle, Jacob Moskovitz, William H. Macy’s daughter Sophia Macy, Jack Alberts, Randall Park, Natalie Morales and Edi Patterson.

The movie, which wrapped production in May in Oklahoma, marks Ropp’s feature directorial debut. Ropp previously directed “Kodar: The Primordial God of Light and Ether,” a dramedy short he also co-wrote that stars Maddie Ziegler and the film’s co-writer Nick Skardarasy.

“Brian” is executive produced by Seth Meyers,...

Jeremiah Fraites, co-founder and songwriter of the two-time Grammy Award-nominated band The Lumineers, has composed the score for Lionsgate’s “The Long Walk,” the upcoming film from director Francis Lawrence based on the first novel by Stephen King. The film will be released in theaters nationwide on Sept. 12.

“The Long Walk,” is billed as an intense, chilling and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go?

Lawrence directs from a screenplay by Jt Mollner, based on the novel by Stephen King, and produced by Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Lawrence and Cameron MacConomy. The film stars Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick and Josh Hamilton, with Judy Greer and Mark Hamill.

Of the score, Fraites says, “Francis and I had a really great initial phone call that helped inform what instrumentation we thought would work.

Can a movie be classified as both underwhelming at the box office and still successful? Karate Kid: Legendsrecently hit the $90 million mark at the worldwide box office, which means that it has now officially broken even, considering its reported budget of $45 million. It will also likely pass the coveted $100 million mark this weekend, cementing its status as a hit. But in comparison to its predecessor, the 2010 reboot The Karate Kid, it's a massive letdown. That movie made over $350 million globally, and featured an unusually restrained dramatic performance from the megastar Jackie Chan. He returned for Karate Kid: Legends, which has now overtaken several of his past movies.

Most recently, Karate Kid: Legends leaped past Chan's Shanghai Knights, the 2003 sequel to Shanghai Noon. Directed by David Dobkin, the movie made $88 million worldwide against a reported budget of $50 million. Shanghai Knights featured Owen Wilson alongside Chan, and received mixed reviews from critics.

Three-time Tony Award winner Billy Porter and eight-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close are the latest stars to sign on to The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Lionsgate announced Close will play Drusilla Sickle, the cruel escort to the District 12 Tributes. Porter is on board as Magno Stift, her estranged husband and the Tributes’ uninspired designer.

“Glenn Close is a dream Drusilla. She brings so much of her intellect and imagination to each role, creating characters who are unforgettable and iconic. I think Glenn and Francis [Lawrence] will have a ball bringing Drusilla from the page to the screen,” stated producer Nina Jacobson.

Jacobson had this to say about Billy Porter’s casting: “Billy is one of those rare performers who can dazzle and devastate in equal measure on stage and screen. He made an indelible impression on me...
