In addition, the studio has dated the Brian Henson-directed comedy The Happytime Murders for Aug. 17, 2018.
Happytime Murders is set in the underbelly of Los Angeles where puppets and humans coexist. Two clashing detectives, one human (McCarthy) and one puppet, are forced to work together to try to find out who is brutally murdering the former cast of “The Happytime Gang,” a beloved classic puppet show. Henson, Jeff Hayes, Ben Falcone, and McCarthy produce.

Aaron Sorkin’s feature adaptation of Molly Bloom’s memoir Molly’s Game will open the Wednesday before Thanksgiving on Nov. 22, STX Entertainment announced.
Molly’s Game tells the story of Bloom (played by Jessica Chastain), once an Olympic-class skier who, following an injury, ran the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe. STX acquired Sorkin’s feature directorial debut for an estimated $9M. The pic finished shooting during the early spring with the studio showing off some great footage at CinemaCon. Pic also stars Kevin Costner, Idris Elba, Michael Cera, Jeremy Strong, Chris O’Dowd and Bill Camp. Entertainment One (eOne) and The Mark Gordon Company financed the feature, and Mark Gordon is producing with Amy Pascal via her Pascal Pictures banner. Leopoldo Gout and Matt Jackson serve as EPs.

As an Academy member told us, the Academy is telling the animation branch that it no longer trusts them to nominate animated features.
— Cartoon Brew (@cartoonbrew) June 29, 2017Starting this year, the majority of people selecting nominees for the Feature Animation Oscar no longer have to be from the animation branch
— Cartoon Brew (@cartoonbrew) June 29, 2017It's unprecedented—imagine telling the costume designers that the rest of the Academy is better qualified than they are to judge costumes.

Kristopher Tapley's Midway Oscar forecast is up, and while most of it is just "here's the contenders," there's a nice little trinket of info about Detroit.
QuoteWill Poulter is said to be the stand-out as a sadistic police officer, but John Boyega is called on to anchor the proceedings in lead.

Okay seriously, that's enough. Nobody likes giant bold, and nobody likes seeing the same joke repeated again and again. It's a bitch to scroll down on just my laptop. Can't imagine how it is on mobile. You two are the only people who still think it's funny. Stop for the benefit of everyone.

Despite its problems, #Valerian needs to be experienced in 3D on the biggest screen possible. I want to experience more of this world.
— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) June 29, 2017#Valerian: Inventive world-building and some awesomely unique set pieces. Runs out of steam eventually, but overall a fun, worthwhile romp.
— Angie J. Han (@ajhan) June 29, 2017#Valerian embargo is up. I really liked it. A fun, visually stunning sci-fi adventure. We need more space operas that are this colorful.
— michelle buchman (@michelledeidre) June 29, 2017Dug opening sequence of #Valerian, has amazing 3D look. Flavor of FIFTH ELEMENT but not the same payoff. Luc Besson fans are gonna luv it.

Sony-TriStar/Media Rights Capital’s Baby Driver is heading toward an opening day in the low to mid $5M range as of this minute. With evening shows occurring on the East Coast currently, and West Coast business yet to click, we could see a slightly higher figure tomorrow morning.

Why does the CGI look like a PS1 game?

Also of note:
Even to this day, over 27 years later, Home Alone is still the highest-grossing Christmas movie of all time, both domestic and worldwide. (Well, unless you count Iron Man 3 as a Christmas movie.
)
Regardless, it's amazing how the film is still the victor even after years of other competitors.

Beauty and the Beast also had some significance within animation history. While Little Mermaid did become the first worldwide animated blockbuster, BatB became the first domestic animated blockbuster. Jeffrey Katzenberg, head of Disney Feature Animation at the time, believed Little Mermaid would break the $100M mark domestically and become an animated landmark. Mermaid, unfortunately, didn't hit that number, but it wasn't until two years later that Beast managed to do it, largely thanks to festival buzz and awards attention, as well as just being a fantastic film in its own right. Much like the other films in the Disney Renaissance, Beauty and the Beast was able to homage the animated classics of the past while also successfully modernizing the film for today's audiences (well, 1991's audiences, but you get the point). And of course, it soon became one of Disney's biggest franchises with massive home video and soundtrack sales, heavy theme park presence, two successful re-releases, a long-running Broadway musical and of course its recent live-action remake.
I liked it quite a bit as a kid, and much like Disney's other films it has aged like wine, getting better and better as time goes on, and is still one of my all-time favorites, both in animation and film in general.
