Hollywood has long been a reflection of shifting cultural tastes, technological advancements, and financial priorities. Yet, some of the highest-grossing films that were released last year in 2024 have brought to light a troubling trend within the film industry: an over-reliance on familiar franchises, reboots, and sequels, instead of embracing original narratives.

While these films continued to dominate the global box office, they raised important concerns about the diminishing creativity and risk-taking in Hollywood’s blockbuster approach.

Despite their financial success, these films highlighted the industry’s reluctance to invest in new, innovative ideas.

Hollywood’s box office success in 2024 was driven by sequels

Were Lindsay Lohan’s rehab costs crazy?(Photo Credit –Instagram)

In the early 2000s, she was the queen of teen comedies with hits like Mean Girls and Freaky Friday, but behind the scenes, Lindsay Lohan struggled with addiction. Her run-ins with the law and multiple stints in rehab became a tabloid fixture, with the actress often in the headlines for the wrong reasons.

The cost of rehab and the toll it took on her career were staggering. Not only did Lindsay face rehab expenses that skyrocketed, but her ongoing troubles caused her to lose out on major roles, including high-profile films and endorsement deals. As she tried to regain control of her life, her once-bright future seemed clouded by her personal battles, leaving many to wonder what might have been.

Despite being heralded as one of the most iconic scream queens of all time after playing Laurie Strode in the Halloween franchise, Jamie Lee Curtis once claimed that she didn't like horror movies. However, she sure loves being part of them!

Not only did Curtis return for Blumhouse's Halloween reboot trilogy, but she also recently joined the cast of new film Return to Sender with Late Night with the Devil star David Dastmalchian. Next, Deadline reports that the actress will executive produce a television show for Blumhouse based on Marisha Pessl's bestselling novel Darkly.

Released in November 2024, Darkly is a YA mystery thriller novel published by Penguin Random House. It is about a girl named Arcadia "Dia" Gannon and her obsession with a series of intriguingly terrifying games and toys designed by the Darkly empire. She looks up to the lead game designer, Louisiana Veda who suffers a mysterious death,...

It’s been exactly 20 years since Harvey Weinstein exited Miramax in 2005, but the studio is returning to the Weinstein-produced film roots to mine IP for new TV series. Jonathan Glickman, who became the head of Miramax in 2024, confirmed to Variety that the studio is developing shows or limited series based on films like “Gangs of New York,” “Chocolat,” “The English Patient,” “Cop Land,” and “Shall We Dance.”

While the “Gangs of New York” series was already announced, with director Martin Scorsese executive producing and directing the first two episodes, it is clear that the 2002 feature is just one of the many early 2000s films that Miramax is looking to adapt into episodic viewing. The original feature that was produced by Weinstein infamously led Scorsese to contemplate quitting Hollywood due to its Billy Butcher-ed production. Yet Glickman is looking to take the Weinstein of it all out of Miramax’s history,...

The 2025 summer movie season is nearly upon us, and it's quite stacked. The first quarter of the year had its ups and downs, but mostly, it was disappointments littering the road as Hollywood faced another rough start in the pandemic era. Fortunately, things have turned around in recent weeks, with the likes of "A Minecraft Movie" and "Sinners" posting big numbers. But now we ask the question: What will come out on top and be the biggest movie of the summer? There are plenty of options and no easy answers.

Marvel's "Thunderbolts" is due to kick the summer season off with a $70 million, give or take, opening the first weekend of May. That's going to be much better than "The Fall Guy" ($28 million) last year, but it's also far below the MCU blockbusters of pre-2020, which would sail to $100 million domestically without blinking. Marvel also has "Fantastic Four: First Steps" in July,...

There's a new Mighty Ducks movie just waiting to be made by the original star, too! Too bad Disney doesn't want to make it!

The Mighty Ducks may be one of the odder franchises in Disney history. It all started with 1992's movie of the same name starring Emilio Estevez as Gordon Bombay, a cocky hotshot lawyer. After a DUI arrest, Gordon is forced to do community service coaching a junior hockey league.

Gordon hates this as he's loathed hockey ever since he failed to score a winning goal in a championship game when he was a kid. It's not helped that the team (who he nicknames the Ducks) is the worst in the league.

Slowly but surely, Gordon builds these misfits (which included a young Joshua Jackson) into a team that ends up winning the championship. Released in October of 1992, the movie turned into a sleeper success with a...

If this sounds like old news, it's because you're probably thinking of a different Peacock "Clueless" series that was announced back in 2020 and slated to star Stacey Dash, reviving her role as Cher's ride-or-die bestie Dionne. Well, that series is no longer happening, and this series currently has Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage attached to write, along with Jordan Weiss. The trio will executive produce alongside Silverstone, and they'll be joined by the original film's producer, Robert Lawrence, and writer/director Heckerling as executive producers as well.

It’s being developed by CBS Studios in association with Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, for Peacock.

Writers and executive producers on the series are Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage through their Fake Empire banner. They previously teamed on “The O.C.” and “Gossip Girl.”

Jordan Weiss, who created the Kat Dennings Hulu series “Dollface” and scripted upcoming Disney sequel “Freakier Friday,” will also serve as writer and EP.

Get a clue! Peacock is developing a sequel series based on the ’90s favorite “Clueless,” and Alicia Silverstone is attached to star in the series reprising her role as Cher Horowitz, IndieWire has learned.

The Peacock show is described only as a follow-up sequel show to the 1995 cult favorite film from director and writer Amy Heckerling (who will EP the series), and while there have been some rumors about the exact focus of the show floating around, creative details are being kept under wraps for now. The series is currently in development for the streamer.

Silverstone is set to reprise her signature role as Cher in the sequel series, from CBS Studios in association with Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.

CBS TV Studios owns the TV rights to the Paramount feature classic which starred Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy and Paul Rudd.

Six years ago, the studio developed a different Clueless series reboot centered around Dash’s Dionne character, which also went to Peacock for development.

The excitement surrounding Lindsay Lohan's comeback to mainstream acting is the gift that keeps on giving.

Count My Lies...

Looks like Willian Levy is taking a page straight out of Lindsay Lohan’s 2007 playbook. The Resident Evil actor was recently arrested on charges of public intoxication, disor derly conduct, and trespassing on private property – an incident that feels all too familiar to anyone who’s followed Lohan’s chaotic mid-2000s headlines.

While Lohan has turned her life around, this recent situation with Levy has got the fans worried. They’re wondering if this is just a one-time incident or if the actor is heading towards a more controversial path.

Either way, his name on the internet is now showing up for all the wrong reasons. Let’s dive deeper to understand what actually happened and why it is giving serious déjà vu to Lindsay Lohan fans.

Is William Levy headed down a Lindsay Lohan-style spiral?

Looks like William Levy is stepping into the kind of headlines that were once owned by Lindsay Lohan.

Lindsay Lohan is set to topline her first scripted TV series.

The actress is set to star in Count My Lies, a drama that’s in development at Hulu. The project comes from 20th Television and former This Is Us showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger and is based on a novel by Sophie Stava. Lohan will also executive produce.

Jamie Lee Curtis might not be stepping back into the shoes of Laurie Strode again anytime soon, but the Oscar-winning actress is far from being done with the horror genre. Curtis will star in Sender, a psychological horror film based on the award-winning 2022 short film, shares Deadline.

Russell Goldman is set to direct the movie in his feature directorial debut. He previously directed the indie short Return to Sender, on which the film will be based, and then adapted his short into a 2023 Black List contender.

Sender is already in development. Apart from Curtis, the film stars Severance's Britt Lower, David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil), and Anna Baryshnikov (Love Lies Bleeding).

It follows a woman entangled in a mysterious and dangerous e-commerce scam that quickly becomes very personal, leaving her determined to find out who the anonymous sender is and stop their harassment.

Return to Sender starred Allison Tolman...

If you were to compile a list of the best parody movies ever made, you would be hard pressed to find one that doesn't include "The Naked Gun" on it. The hilarious riff on procedural cop shows initially started out as "Police Squad!," a hilarious six-episode television comedy series from David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker whose only crime was being ahead of its time. Although the triage had no such luck making it play to audiences on the small screen, the short-lived series proved to be incredibly successful in movie theaters in the form of 1988's "The Naked Gun," which brought back Leslie Nielsen to reprise his role as the bumbling Detective Lt. Frank Drebin.

The David Zucker-directed film not only jumpstarted Nielsen's comedy career after his memorable role in "Airplane!," but it also led to two sequels: "The Naked Gun 2 ½: The Smell of Fear...

Britt Lower has been cast in the lead role of Sender, a psychological horror film currently in production and produced by Jamie Lee Curtis through her banner Comet Pictures. The film will also feature performances by David Dastmalchian, Anna Baryshnikov, and Curtis.

The project marks the feature directorial debut of Russell Goldman and is based on his 2022 short film Return to Sender, which won awards on the festival circuit. Goldman later adapted the short into a feature-length screenplay that appeared on the 2023 Black List. The story centers on a woman who becomes entangled in a personal and unsettling e-commerce scam, triggering an obsession with uncovering the identity of the anonymous sender.

Curtis is producing the film alongside Molly Hallam and Jake Katofsky. Executive producers include Akshay Shah, Lower, and Goldman. Co-producers on the film are Thomas Grabinski, Eric Baird, Cesar Vega, and Mireia Vilanova. Verve Ventures is representing the film for North American sales.

It is two years since Warner Bros’ Discovery boss David Zaslav made it clear that one big push he wanted to see happening at the studio is to draw out more content from some of their biggest IPs. Since then, a Harry Potter TV series has become a reality, a new Lord of the Rings movie is in development over a decade after the release of The Hobbit, and several other well-known properties are set for expansions. In a recent interview with Deadline, Warner Bros Pictures co-chairman/CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy shared a little insight into some other projects on the horizon. De Luca shared:

“Drew Goddard [is] writing and directing The Matrix. Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Jay Roach, with their Ocean’s Eleven prequel; Matt Reeves as producer, working with Marvel’s Werewolf By Night director Michael Giacchino on a remake of our library title Them; Andy Serkis directing Gollum.

In the wake of A Minecraft Movie's record-breaking opening weekend, another classic video game of the early 2010s is returning to the big screen as Angry Birds 3 has a new release date, a new studio, and a new cast...with some returning favorites. Released in 2009, Angry Birds was a mobile game that took the world by storm and became one of the most downloaded games in history. Two feature films were made to capitalize on the phenomenon: 2016's The Angry Birds Movie and 2019's The Angry Birds Movie 2. The franchise will return to the big screen eight years after the last film and almost twenty years after the game's launch.

Deadline reports that The Angry Birds Movie 3 will be released on Jan. 9, 2027. While the original two films in the franchise were released through Sony Pictures, Paramount Pictures is now taking over the distribution of the third entry. Original cast members Jason Sudeikis,...

This summer is going to get freaky, with Jaime Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan-led Freakier Friday. Fans have seen a teaser trailer for the film that brings back familiar characters along with some new ones as we get a peek into the lives of Ana (Lohan)and Tess (Curtis). The highly-anticipated sequel to the hit 2003 body switch comedy unveiled some exclusive footage during the recently held CinemaCon where the stars teased an "aggressive teenage makeover.”

“We can't begin to tell you how amazing it's been to be back in Ana and Tessa's shoes,” Lohan said. Like the original movie, Freakier Friday will see our main characters swapping bodies, but this time in a multigenerational setup. Curtis teased, “Yes, but we don't spend that much time in those shoes actually since this Friday is even freakier because this time we have doubled the swaps.” Directed by Nisha Ganatra, the movie...

After a two-decade wait, Disney’s Freaky Friday is finally receiving its long-awaited sequel.

Well, if we had a nickel for every dropped jaw we witnessed during Disney’s CinemaCon 2025 panel, we’d probably have enough to snag tickets to every Disney flick for the next decade. And honestly, that’s no exaggeration. The studio didn’t just show up at CinemaCon this year; they leveled up.

From reboots to thrilling new sequels, the magic-makers at Walt Disney Studios came out swinging with a collection of future cinematic treasures that would make even the most seasoned movie buffs sit up straight. We got a taste of Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, Avatar: Fire and Ash, Zootopia 2, Elio, and—let’s not even get started on Tron: Ares.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the most mind-boggling moments from Disney’s CinemaCon 2025 panel—complete with all the spectacle, sass, and surprises you’ve been waiting for.

Lindsay Lohan is being honored at CinemaCon 2025!

The 38-year-old actress was honored with the Vanguard Award during the Big Screen Achievement Awards during closing night of the movie convention on Thursday (April 3) held at Omnia Nightclub at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

“Thank you so much for this award. It means more than you know to me,” Lindsay said in her acceptance speech, via People. “I have grown up in this industry, and I’m so proud to still be doing what I love. There’s nothing like the magic of cinema.”

Keep reading to find out more…She then on to recall seeing herself act on the big screen for “the first time” in 1998′s The Parent Trap when she was 12-years-old, saying, “It was so surreal, but I felt right at home.”

Lindsay also shared with thanks to Disney for “always” believing in her, to her husband Bader Shammas...

Walt Disney once said that a man should never neglect his family for business. Disney has long explored the theme of family in many of its shows and movies. For example, Lilo & Stitch is a film that explores this theme with its iconic line: ‘Ohana means family.’

The upcoming Disney film Freakier Friday continues this tradition of exploring family dynamics by examining the relationship between a mother and daughter. Speaking of family, National Siblings Day is on April 10, which means social media will be flooded with social posts with #National SiblingsDay tags on pictures and videos that people post of their brothers and sisters.

National Public Radio even did its own reporting discussing the impact of National Siblings Day. Disney Channel has its fair share of exploring the dynamic of siblings in its shows. Here are 6 Disney Channel shows featuring iconic sibling duos that helped define the 2000s.

Over two decades after Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis hilariously swapped bodies for Freaky Friday, they're doing it again for Freakier Friday. The two actresses, who lead the sequel that hits theaters on August 8, recently appeared at CinemaCon, giving attendees an exclusive look at footage from Disney's upcoming feature. The hit 2003 comedy saw Lohan and Curtis as mother-daughter duo Anna and Tess, who mysteriously swap bodies after bickering at a Chinese restaurant and enjoying magical fortune cookies.
