TV’s reboot and revival craze is showing no signs of slowing down — they have to run out of old shows to redo at some point, right? Right?!? — and ABC’s new take on The Wonder Years ups the ante by offering a double dose of nostalgia: a wistful remembrance of an ’80s TV show that was itself a wistful remembrance of life in the ’60s. That’s a lot of wistful remembering!

This new Wonder Years — premiering next Wednesday, Sept. 22 at 8:30/7:30c; I’ve seen the pilot — does have big shoes to fill: The original series was a TV trailblazer,...

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is in the middle of being lightly reprimanded. One of the lounges located in Atlantic Records’ Manhattan office is shrouded in pungent weed smoke and filled with the laughter of the Highbridge rapper, and the light clacking of his jewelry. “You got Hr calling me,” an Atlantic employee says, complaining of the weed smoke, as she barges in on the seated rapper. “It’s bad?” Boogie asks with an air of faux innocence. Only a few minutes earlier, he admitted he knows this isn’t the designated smoking room.

The Thai original was a theatrical hit locally and in China.

Thailand’s Gdh 559 has sold the Chinese-language remake rights of Friend Zone, the biggest Thai film in 2019, to China’s Enlight Pictures at Afm.

The deal was concluded by Gdh 559’s Ruedee Pholthaweechai and Enlight Picture’s Helen Xing.

After a successful February release in Thailand which grossed $7.3m, the romantic comedy rolled out theatrically in 18 territories, including North America, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, Southeast Asia and China where it took $7.4m.

As China gears up for a big political anniversary and national holiday, its box office has been dominated by innocuous animal films and local fare capable of keeping censors happy but unable to make that huge of a splash. None of the top four weekend titles has scored more than 7 out of 10 on the key user-review platform Douban.

“Little Q,” a heartwarming dog film from Hong Kong, led China’s weekend box office with a $9.6 million debut, despite a delayed release date and continued tensions between the mainland and the special administrative region.

The film was directed by Wing-cheong Law, a longtime collaborate of Johnnie To and winner of a 2002 Golden Horse Award for best editing on “Running Out of Time 2,” and stars veteran Hong Kong actor Simon Yam. The movie is based on a true story retold in a Japanese novel by Ryohei Akimoto and Kengo Ishiguro, which was adapted into “Quill,...

Thailand’s Gdh 559 has closed a raft of territory deals for its latest box-office hit Friend Zone, which Maoyan Entertainment has acquired for China, Edko Films for Hong Kong and Macau, and Westec Media for Cambodia.
