The short answer: No. November will likely be flat, or close. While October 2021 box office represented 79 percent of 2019 (the last normal year), November looks unlikely to even hit 70 percent ($671 million). October was a step in the right direction, but the top players’ uneven performances mutes its positives. Only “Venom” (now at $190 million) can claim to have performed at a pre-Covid level. “Halloween Kills,” “The Addams Family 2,” and “Dune” all grossed over $40 million last month, and presumably concurrent home play reduced their theatrical performances....

“This is not a movie that we expect you to sit down and take a moral from the story,” star Daniel Radcliffe told IndieWire of the unapologetic biopic spoof. “But if there is something to it, it’s about leaning into your own weirdness and that being a way of finding your own happiness.” Written by Appel and Weird Al himself, the semi-“true” story of Yankovic’s rise from a polka-playing outcast to a pop culture satirist selling out stadiums began as a fake trailer for FunnyOrDie....

The Daniel Radcliffe-led film about the legendary parody artist takes a deliberately loose approach to the facts, combining truth and fiction in its quest to make a mockery of the music biopic genre. Yet despite the cartoonish elements, the film is still largely set in the music industry and conveys the beats of Yankovic’s career (even if it exaggerates quite a few of them). But as it turns out, the film came close to taking things in a very different, Marvel-inspired direction....

The gruesome culmination to a season-long arc that saw the obedient errand boy embrace his lineage as a vampire hunter is revisited right away, as Season 3 sees everyone up to their enticing, atypical shenanigans. New jobs are obtained. Kickball is played. A weekend getaway brings everyone closer together (kind of). But amid the power struggles, sexcapades, and bloviated bickering, this undead horde and their humble hanger-on also confront parts of themselves shaken to the forefront by their recent scare....

Kravitz cast Tatum in her directorial debut “Pussy Island,” with Tatum set to play a sinister tech mogul who invites an unsuspecting cocktail waitress (Naomi Ackie) to his private island. The “Magic Mike” star was Kravitz’s “first choice” to portray the villain. “I wanted to find someone who hadn’t played a dark character before, because I think that’s exciting to watch someone who’s mostly played boy next door, good guy, love interest, all of that,” Kravitz told The Wall Street Journal Magazine of “Step Up” and “She’s the Man” icon Tatum....

A middle-aged white man shaped like an empty shotgun shell stands on his lawn and speaks directly into a home video camera: “A lot of people think I’m kind of stupid for doing, but if there’s just one knucklehead out there who this will make a difference to — who sees this and says ‘maybe I will get one of those’ — then it’s worth it.” At which point he presses a pistol against his chest and shoots himself in the stomach....
