#DunePartThree has had the 3 best trailers of the year. While awards season is beginning no conversation can be had about frontrunners until this movies gets in front of people. If these trailers are any indication we are in for a ride!! Dec 18th is about to be an all timer!!
Watch the final trailer for Denis Villeneuve's #DunePartThree.
In theaters on December 18.
Just a little over a month away from the one half of the main event!!! #avengers #AvengersDoomsday
Doomsday is fast approaching.
Tickets for #AvengersDoomsday are on sale now at Fandango. Coming to theaters December 18. fandan.co/AvengersDoomsday
While studios like Universal & Sony have been having a very successful 2026, I think A24 now has to be put up on that list. Their hits of this year include Backrooms, The Drama, The Invite, Primetime & now YCSE. I think this film is going to have a big increase next weekend!!
BOX OFFICE: A24’s YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING opens w/ $15M. Some stats:
- Biggest opening for a non-music doc in over two decades
- 2nd biggest opening ever for a non-music doc
- The biggest domestic opening for a 2026 film in fewer than 900 theaters
- Among Top 5 biggest domestic openings ever for A24
- It’s the first time A24 has delivered three $15M-plus domestic opening weekends in a single year
- Lance Oppenheim has now directed or co-directed two @A24 movies that are among its Top 5 biggest domestic openings (and both opened less than a month apart)
First trailer for Narnia!! This definitely looks to demand a big screen treatment. Excited to see what Gerwig has up her sleeve for this franchise and I’ll be seated day one for it!!
Was not expecting much but gotta say this first trailer really impressed me. Seems like it’ll mix the best of what this franchise does be with some Seven elements sprinkled throughout it! #TheExorcist
Check out the rest of what was said in the segment link below! @SquawkCNBC

“The Skydance era is officially underway in Hollywood,” @JoeSquawk said on “Squawk Box” this morning. Ellison is “adding new members to the board, including investor and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs and former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. Former UK prime minister Tony Blair will also become a board advisor.”
Powell Jobs is also the majority owner of The Atlantic and a prominent Democratic donor. @andrewrsorkin said he interpreted the Powell Jobs appointment as “an effort to try to calm the waters.”
“Of course,” guest @MattBelloni said, adding: “Remember, one of the first things David Ellison did when he took over Paramount was he put Sherry Lansing on the board. She’s the former chairwoman of Paramount Pictures. Amazing relationships within Hollywood. And that was a message to the community that ‘I’m one of you.’ This is the exact same thing. ‘We’re done with the deal, let’s move on.’ ”
Thank you to @MattBelloni for coming onto the show to talk about a new era in Hollywood with the formation of Skydance!
"They have the assets, and now all they have to do is execute and walk this extremely tightrope," says Puck's @MattBelloni of Skydance following the completion of its merger. cnb.cx/4yAPC5Q

“He was reasserting himself as CEO,” says former $DIS CEO Bob Chapek on his relationship with Bob Iger. Chapek explains why he wrote his new memoir: cnb.cx/3VDenQe

WOW 👀 The year of Anne Hathaway continues in the most surprising way!! Very excited to see her work alongside Cruise and how that dynamic plays out on screen. If I had to guess I think we might be in for another matchup of Stitch v Cruise on MDW 2028…
Such a rewatchable ending (not just because of the Linkin Park song). One of the best parts of all the Transformers films (sometimes the only good parts) were the last lines from Optimus Prime. RIP to the legend Peter Cullen.
To us…Our X-Men!!! We FINALLY get some casting and for the first time since Disney acquired Fox we have some real momentum into the new era of this franchise. Excited for this young cast and can’t wait for this one in 2028!!! #D23

What a weekend and what a Summer Season it’s been so far!! #SpiderManBrandNewDay is just inches away from beating EndGame and we’ll see how the Monday actuals play out. Either way what a W for Sony and everyone involved in making this film!! Will this record change again by Dec??
