Disney and Pixar’s long-awaited Incredibles 2 soared past expectations to a record-shattering $180 million at the weekend box office. It easily makes the superhero sequel the best animated debut all time, beating Finding Dory’s $135 launch in 2016. Incredibles 2 didn’t just break animation records, the film also secured the eighth-best domestic opening for any film, not adjusted for inflation, and landed the title of best debut for a PG-rated film, surpassing Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast remake, which opened to $174.6 million in 2017.
Warner Bros. began their Aquaman marketing push last week, kicking off with a number of first look images in EW including a cover story. Jason Momoa returns in the title role alongside King Orm (Patrick Wilson), Aquaman’s mentor Vulko (Willem Dafoe), Queen Atlanna (Nicole Kidman), Meera (Amber Heard), and Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II). Aquaman is set to perk up our winter doldrums on December 21st 2018.
Marvel Studios announced the new composer for Captain Marvel and it’s composer Pinar Toprak. She is the first woman to write and score a movie for Marvel. Toprak is a bit of a fresh talent, working on a number of smaller scale thrillers and horror movies before breaking out in a big way last year as the composer for Syfy’s Superman prequel series Krypton and the immensely popular video game Fortnite.
Bloomberg reports that, as part of Apple’s push into original programming, the company is making plans for an original animated feature film produced through Cartoon Saloon. Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon has been around for nearly 20 years, though their most famous feature titles have come in the last decade. The studio counts Oscar-nominated films The Secret of Kells (2009), Song of the Sea (2014), and The Breadwinner (2017) as their only three major feature releases, but that might be about to change thanks to a possible deal with Apple, Inc.
According to our very own Jeff Sneider, up-and-coming filmmaker Janicza Bravo has signed on to direct Zola for A24. The project is based on David Kushner’s Rolling Stone article “Zola Tells All: The Real Story Behind the Greatest Stripper Saga Ever Tweeted.
