Summer Box Office Breaks All-Time Record With $4.67 Billion
“Need proof the movies are really, truly back? The summer box office was already the biggest since COVID upended the industry in 2020 — and now the season has become the highest-grossing of all time. Domestic ticket sales from May 1 through Labor Day on Sept. 7 stand at $4.76 billion, according to Rentrak.” variety.com/2026/film/box-of…

Ethan Hawke on #Oscars snubs this year:
"At 55, I’ve spent so many of these kind of mornings disappointed throughout my life, so it’s hard for me not to think of all the people who did great work, even in my category alone. There were so many people: Jesse Plemons is absolutely brilliant in 'Bugonia.' Lee Byung-hun was staggeringly great in 'No Other Choice.' Dwayne Johnson was phenomenal in 'The Smashing Machine.' George Clooney in 'Jay Kelly.' Oscar Isaac in 'Frankenstein.' My brain does flips over how many people deserve it."

Timothée Chalamet is officially the king of the Christmas box office.
It’s the third consecutive holiday season where the A-list star has dominated at the box office, a reign that began with 2023’s family-friendly musical “Wonka” and continued with 2024’s Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown.” This year’s ping pong adventure, #MartySupreme, extended the trend, serving up a stellar $27 million over the four-day frame. variety.com/2025/film/box-of…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
“Marty Supreme” took third place in the domestic box office this weekend, out-dominated by “Avatar: Fire and Ash” in its second weekend and “Zootopia 2” in its fifth weekend.

When Lawrence was asked whether she’d co-star in the film with her long-time friend Stone, she teased, “I think so. We have to… It’s fucked up [that we haven’t done a movie together].”
