Refresh for latest…: Disney/Fox’s Dark Phoenix came in below pre-weekend projections with an international box office opening of $107M in 53 markets. Combined with a heavily singed domestic bow, the global debut is $140M. The Simon Kinberg-helmed pic is currently running behind both of the last installments, X-Men: Apocalypse (-27%) and X-Men: Days Of Future Past (-19%). It’s No. 1 worldwide, and No. 1 in 36 offshore markets, but audiences essentially gave it the bird.
China leads all play with $45.6M which in today’s rates is 28% bigger than Days Of Future Past, but 15% less than Apocalypse, each of which had three-day bows. Dark Phoenix opened in the Middle Kingdom on Thursday, looking to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival. It had a decent hike on Friday, the first full day of the holiday, but then saw a 30%+ drop on Saturday, and was down again today, by about...

Disney has announced that three previously untitled live-action movies slated for 2022, 2024 and 2026 will be new, untitled “Star Wars” films.
Following the release of “Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker” in December of this year, Disney will release three more “Star Wars” films on Dec. 20, 2022, Dec. 18, 2024 and Dec. 18, 2026, respectively.
“The Last Jedi” director Rian Johnson and “Game of Thrones” creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were reported to have been working on their own trilogies of “Star Wars” films, but it’s unclear whose trilogy these three films are associated with.

The news came in a massive announcement in which Disney mapped out films up through 2027 now with the addition of the Fox slate. Among the changes, Disney delayed all four “Avatar” sequels by one-to-two years each, pushed back “The New Mutants” and completely removed “Gambit” from the development slate.

Moviegoers will have to wait a little longer to return to Pandora.
James Cameron’s long-awaited and oft-delayed follow-up to “Avatar” has been pushed back another year. “Avatar 2” will hit theaters on Dec. 17, 2021 instead of Dec. 18, 2020 as originally planned. Its move means that “Avatar 3” will open on Dec. 22, 2023 as opposed to Dec. 17, 2021 while “Avatar 4” will bow on Dec. 19, 2025 instead of Dec. 20, 2024 and “Avatar 5” will launch Dec. 17, 2027.
The news comes as part of a larger shift in release dates unveiled by Walt Disney Studios. The company is changing the debuts of various films it inherited after buying the bulk of 21st Century Fox’s film and television assets in a $71.3 billion mega-merger.
As part of the great release date shake-up, Disney announced that a trio of untitled “Star Wars” entries that will come after “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” brings the Skywalker spinoff saga to a close this December.

In the sixth-year running of Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament, it’s Anthony and Joe Russo who get to climb the ladder and cut the net after directing 2018’s most profitable movie. Disney-Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War earned $500M after a $1.27 billion global B.O. take. It won’t come as a surprise if we see the duo here again this year with all the recent buzz of how their sequel Avengers: Endgame is expected to tear up all of Infinity War‘s records roughly two weeks from now. Jon Favreau’s The Lion King has yet to roar, but there’s every reason to imagine Endgame outpacing Infinity War.
Already, Endgame owns the all-time 24 hour record for a film’s first day pre-sales, and wild optimists forecast that the sequel could get as high as a $1 billion worldwide in its first weekend.

For this week’s home media releases, we have a ton of indie horror on tap, with both Wild Eye Releasing and Gravitas Ventures leading the pack with a variety of titles. Probably the most intriguing movie coming home this week has to be Caroushell, but Wild Eye is also putting out a few other films under both of their labels, including House of Ravens, Beaten to a Pulp, and Open Wound. From Gravitas, we have both Arcadia and Beast of the Water to look forward to, and Unearthed Films is bringing the disturbing Dis to both Blu-ray and DVD as well.
Rounding out January 22nd’s releases is the cult classic Kiss of the Tarantula, Strangers Within, and 10 to Midnight.

Normally I would construct a synopsis of sorts for a review but in the case of Dis, the 60 minute avant-garde horror film by Writer/ Director Adrian Corona, I think there is magic to be had in going in blind and experiencing the film in all its peculiar glory.
The only slither of plot you should know is this: Bill Oberst Jr (in another commanding and outstanding performance) plays Ariel, an ex-soldier with a past, who is hiking through the woods when he encounters figures both demonic and surreal and seemingly straight out of a Stanley Kubrick film.
Some readers may know Dis as the city nestled between sixth and nine circles of Hell in Dante’s Divine Comedy. It was a city of sexual perverts, blasphemers and other such sinners. And trust me, that’s just the beginning of the hidden meanings throughout this strange little film.
