Episode 8 of the Skywalker Saga tanked at the Chinese Box Office, debuting to a disappointing $28.7 million, and had one of the worst second-weekend declines in Chinese box office history. After a 92% drop in its second weekend, Star Wars: The Last Jedi has already been pulled from Chinese theaters. Avengers: Infinity War will be the culmination of 18 movies over the course of 10 years; and will introduce Thanos as the villain to end all villains. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo have assembled the biggest group of Marvel characters ever to appear on screen thus far and fans are ready. So how many comic book characters will appear in Infinity War? No exact number has been confirmed yet, but previous reports confirm that it will be more than 60. Now, according to Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, that number is actually 76. OPENING THIS WEEK AGREE OR DISAGREE THR is reporting that Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer are reuniting for the first time since their Oscar nominated/winning roles in The Help. The trade reports that Chastain and Spencer have signed on to star in an original script about two women attempting to make it home for Christmas; in a movie that is being described as in the vein of Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The first trailer has been released for the upcoming thriller Beast of Burden starring Daniel Radcliffe. Radcliffe stars as Sean Haggerty, a pilot forced to make one last delivery of cocaine across the U.S.-Mexico border and, during the troubled flight, finds himself caught between the cartel and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
