Challengers is one of the most highly-anticipated movies hitting the theaters this spring – and it’s living up to the hype! Luca Guadagnino’s tennis drama knocked it out of the park during its opening weekend and served its way to the top of the domestic box office.

Challengers centers on a former tennis protégé Tashi Duncan who turns to coaching after suffering a career-ending injury, helping her husband Art (Mike Faist) rise to prominence and become a Grand Slam champion. They must face the ghosts of their past during a low-level Challenger event, where Art finds himself across the net from his former BFF and Tashi’s ex Patrick (Josh O’Connor).

Challengers topped the box office with $15 million grossed domestically, during a particularly slow week in North America. It also earned $10 million overseas.

These numbers are pretty impressive considering it’s an original film with an R-rating, and its star and producer Zendaya is hoping its success will inspire studios to give more original titles a wide release.

“We need to make more movies like this. It’s kind of scary because this is an original screenplay and those can be difficult to get people out to see. I hope that we can continue to have more variety (in Hollywood) and get people engaged with different kinds of films,” she told US Today.

There was a lot of buzz surrounding the release of Dune: Part Two, and this highly-anticipated sequel lived up to the hype. Denis Villeneuve’s space epic easily topped the box office with a $178.5 million worldwide opening, scoring the highest opening weekend of 2024.

The release date of Dune: Part Two was pushed to March 1, 2024, in the face of strikes in Hollywood, and this proved to be the right decision. With $81.5 million grossed domestically and an additional $97 million in other territories, Dune: Part Two knocked it out of the park during its opening weekend with a worldwide total of $178.5 million.

Dune: Part Two did exceptionally well on IMAX, with $18.5 million of the domestic ticket sales coming from the IMAX screenings. Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX, said that the only reason why that number wasn’t higher is because they ran out of seats.

“The lesson is that if you take a beautiful visual experience, a good story and you put it in the hands of a brilliant filmmaker with an IMAX camera, you’re going to get very good results,” said Gelfond in a statement to CNBC.

Dune: Part Two had the largest opening weekend of 2024 so far, and it almost doubled the domestic gains of the first film. Villeneuve is currently plotting the third film in the trilogy, based on Frank Herbert’s novel Dune Messiah.

The 96th Academy Awards are coming our way fast, and the first group of presenters has finally been unveiled! Former Oscar winners Michelle Yeoh, Lupita Nyong’o, and Matthew McConaughey will present at the upcoming ceremony alongside Zendaya and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Mahershala Ali (Moonlight), Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas), Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once), Brendan Fraser (The Whale), Jessica Lange (Tootsie), Al Pacino (Scent of a Woman), Ke Huy Quan Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once), and Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) have also been added to the presenter lineup, and they all have one thing in common.

With the exception of Zendaya and Michelle Pfeiffer, all the newly announced presenters are previous Oscar winners, and that’s not a coincidence. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming Oscar ceremony will feature a “Field of Dreams-like format”, which will see five past acting winners introduce the five current nominees for each award.

The 96th Academy Awards will return to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 10, and the rest of the presenters will be announced in the coming days. Oppenheimer will enter the ceremony with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things with 11 and Killers of the Flower Moon with 10.

Challengers is one of the most anticipated new films coming our way this spring, and MGM just added some more fuel to the fire! The new trailer for Luca Guadagnino’s sports dramedy is here, and it stars Zendaya as a former tennis player stuck in a complicated love triangle.

Challengers centers on a former tennis player Tashi (Zendaya), who turned to caching after a career-ending injury. She used her skills to transform her husband Art (Mike Faist) into a world-famous grand slam champion, but they’re forced to deal with the ghosts of their pasts once he finds himself in the middle of a career slump.

“To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play a “Challenger” event – close to the lowest level of pro tournament – where he finds himself standing across the net from his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend (Josh O’Connor),” reads MGM’s official logline.

Challengers hails from the acclaimed director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name), who co-wrote the script alongside Justin Kuritzkes. This creative duo also joined forces for the upcoming adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ short novel Queer starring Daniel Craig.

Challengers was supposed to serve as the opening film at last year’s Venice Film Festival before being hit by several major delays in the face of dual strikes in Hollywood. It’s now set to arrive in theatres on April 26.

Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers is one of the most hotly-anticipated films of 2024, and Zendaya just made us even more excited for its release. The Emmy-winning actress treated her fans to a new poster of this upcoming sports drama to mark the start of the New Year.

Challengers follows a former tennis prodigy Tashi Duncan (Zendaya), who turned to coaching after experiencing a career-ending injury. She helped her husband Art (Mike Faist) become a Grand Slam champion, but they must face their biggest challenge yet when he’s set to face his former best friend and Tashi’s ex Patrick (Josh O’Connor) at a challenger event.

2024 is shaping up to be somewhat of a comeback year for Zendaya, and Challengers isn’t the only film she has on the way. She’ll also return as Chani in Dune: Part Two and is expected to go back to work on her HBO series Euphoria, which won her two Emmy Awards.

Challengers hails from writer Justin Kuritzkr and director Luca Guadagnino, and it will hit the theatres on April 26, 2024. The film was initially picked as the opener of the 80th Venice International Film Festival but MGM Studios had to shift its release date in the face of the SAG-AFTRA strike.

It’s been a while since the last time Zendaya performed in front of her fans, but her love for music was reignited at Coachella. She surprised the audience during Labrinth’s set at this festival and performed the two final songs by his side.

From Billie Eilish to Sia, Labrinth brought out several performers during his Coachella set, but Zendaya’s appearance was the biggest shocker. Everyone went crazy when she hit the stage to perform  “I’m Tired” and “All for Us”, two songs previously featured on her hit HBO show Euphoria.

Zendaya later took to Instagram to reflect on her experience performing at Coachella and thank Labrinth for welcoming her on stage.

“I just wanted to say thank you again for such a magical, beautiful night. Thank you to Lab for inviting me and making all this happen so last minute. I have never heard screaming like that in my entire life… It was so special and everyone was singing along and it was so cool,” said Zendaya in one of her Instagram stories.

This marked Zendaya’s first live performance in seven years, as she shifted focus from singing to acting over the course of the past decade. In addition to working on the Euphoria soundtrack, she also did some singing in The Greatest Showman and recorded the hit song “Rewrite the Stars” with Zac Efron.

Spider-Man: No Way Home has been breaking one box office record after another since its release, and its latest might just be the most impressive one yet. After about a month in the theaters, the latest installment in the MCU became the sixth-highest grossing movie of all time.

No Way Home managed to earn $1.69 billion at the worldwide box office, passing Jurassic World with $1.67 billion and The Lion King with $1.66 billion to secure its latest record. It’s highly unlikely it will soar any higher because the top five films—Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, Titanic, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Avengers: Infinity War—all crossed the $2 billion mark.

We still wouldn’t count No Way Home out since it’s been breaking one box office after another since its release in mid-December. Needless to say, it’s the highest-grossing pandemic-era film, and the first to gross over $1 billion since COVID-19 started. It’s also the fourth-highest-grossing film in the United States and Canada, with $721 million at the domestic box office so far.

No Way Home explores the aftermath of Spider-Man: Far From Home, where Peter Parker’s secret identity was revealed to the world. He asks Doctor Strange to help him reverse the past, but his botched spell ends up opening up the multiverse and inviting old villains into Peter’s world to dire consequences.

Zendaya and John David Washington are two of Hollywood’s shiniest young stars right now, and it turns out they can shine just as bright by each other’s side. The first trailer for their Netflix original Malcolm & Marie is here, and it’s a perfect showcase of their acting talents.

This intriguing romance drama centers on a pair of star-crossed lovers forced to face unexpected revelations about their relationships after returning home from a celebratory movie premiere.

Malcolm & Marie reunites Zendaya with the Euphoria showrunner Sam Levinson, who wrote the script during the COVID-19 lockdown and filmed it under safety protocols with a small cast and crew. Several major studios expressed interest in the project, but Netflix managed to outbid them all and acquired distribution rights for $30 million.

“We felt privileged to be able to make this film together and we did so with a lot of love. We are all thrilled that it has ended up with Netflix which is unparalleled in allowing filmmakers the freedom to tell their stories that reach audiences all over the world,” said Levinson in an official statement.

Before premiering on Netflix on February 5th, Malcolm & Marie will be shown in selected theaters later this month.

HBO gave us one of its most groundbreaking teen dramas to date with Euphoria, and we still haven’t seen the last of it. The network renewed their latest smash hit for another season.

Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO Programming, broke the news in an official statement and thanked the creator Sam Levinson for building an incredible world with an extraordinary cast.

“We are so grateful that he chose HBO as the home for this groundbreaking series. We look forward to following these complex characters as their journeys continue through the challenging world they inhabit,” said Orsi.

Euphoria caused quite a stir since it premiered on HBO and already attracted over 5.5 million viewers across HBO’s platforms. It offers an unfiltered look at the lives of a group of teens grappling with serious issues and stars some of Hollywood’s most promising young actors, including Zendaya, Maude Apatow, Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira, Hunter Schafer, and Sydney Sweeney.

Challengers hails from writer Justin Kuritzkr and director Luca Guadagnino, and it will hit the theatres on April 26, 2024. The film was initially picked as the opener of the 80th Venice International Film Festival but MGM Studios had to shift its release date in the face of the SAG-AFTRA strike.

It’s been a while since the last time Zendaya performed in front of her fans, but her love for music was reignited at Coachella. She surprised the audience during Labrinth’s set at this festival and performed the two final songs by his side.

From Billie Eilish to Sia, Labrinth brought out several performers during his Coachella set, but Zendaya’s appearance was the biggest shocker. Everyone went crazy when she hit the stage to perform  “I’m Tired” and “All for Us”, two songs previously featured on her hit HBO show Euphoria.

Zendaya later took to Instagram to reflect on her experience performing at Coachella and thank Labrinth for welcoming her on stage.

“I just wanted to say thank you again for such a magical, beautiful night. Thank you to Lab for inviting me and making all this happen so last minute. I have never heard screaming like that in my entire life… It was so special and everyone was singing along and it was so cool,” said Zendaya in one of her Instagram stories.

This marked Zendaya’s first live performance in seven years, as she shifted focus from singing to acting over the course of the past decade. In addition to working on the Euphoria soundtrack, she also did some singing in The Greatest Showman and recorded the hit song “Rewrite the Stars” with Zac Efron.

Spider-Man: No Way Home has been breaking one box office record after another since its release, and its latest might just be the most impressive one yet. After about a month in the theaters, the latest installment in the MCU became the sixth-highest grossing movie of all time.

No Way Home managed to earn $1.69 billion at the worldwide box office, passing Jurassic World with $1.67 billion and The Lion King with $1.66 billion to secure its latest record. It’s highly unlikely it will soar any higher because the top five films—Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, Titanic, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Avengers: Infinity War—all crossed the $2 billion mark.

We still wouldn’t count No Way Home out since it’s been breaking one box office after another since its release in mid-December. Needless to say, it’s the highest-grossing pandemic-era film, and the first to gross over $1 billion since COVID-19 started. It’s also the fourth-highest-grossing film in the United States and Canada, with $721 million at the domestic box office so far.

No Way Home explores the aftermath of Spider-Man: Far From Home, where Peter Parker’s secret identity was revealed to the world. He asks Doctor Strange to help him reverse the past, but his botched spell ends up opening up the multiverse and inviting old villains into Peter’s world to dire consequences.

Zendaya and John David Washington are two of Hollywood’s shiniest young stars right now, and it turns out they can shine just as bright by each other’s side. The first trailer for their Netflix original Malcolm & Marie is here, and it’s a perfect showcase of their acting talents.

This intriguing romance drama centers on a pair of star-crossed lovers forced to face unexpected revelations about their relationships after returning home from a celebratory movie premiere.

Malcolm & Marie reunites Zendaya with the Euphoria showrunner Sam Levinson, who wrote the script during the COVID-19 lockdown and filmed it under safety protocols with a small cast and crew. Several major studios expressed interest in the project, but Netflix managed to outbid them all and acquired distribution rights for $30 million.

“We felt privileged to be able to make this film together and we did so with a lot of love. We are all thrilled that it has ended up with Netflix which is unparalleled in allowing filmmakers the freedom to tell their stories that reach audiences all over the world,” said Levinson in an official statement.

Before premiering on Netflix on February 5th, Malcolm & Marie will be shown in selected theaters later this month.
