The film, which has grossed about $23 million in theaters, received a PVOD release just after its third weekend in theaters. That’s the Universal/Focus model. This quick transition came against the backdrop of a Memorial Day weekend in which “A Quiet Place Part II” (Paramount) and “Cruella” (Disney) led theaters to their strongest weekend in over a year.

Both the trailer and Abdul-Mateen II’s Morpheus confirmation stirred up “The Matrix” fandom, with many asking why Fishburne is absent from “Resurrections.” The new film brings Reeves and original co-star Carrie-Anne Moss back to their iconic roles of Neo and Trinity, so why not Fishburne? In a new interview with British GQ, Abdul-Mateen II hinted there’s a difference between playing a character called Morpheus and playing a character who actually is Fishburne’s iteration of Morpheus....

Last Year’s Winner: Julia Garner, “Ozark” Still Eligible: Yes. Hot Streak: There hasn’t been a repeat winner in the past five years, and four different networks were represented in the Best Supporting Actress (Drama) category during that time. (Netflix won twice.) The last back-to-back champ was Anna Gunn for “Breaking Bad” in 2013 and 2014. Before her, Blythe Danner was the last consecutive winner back in 2005 and 2006 for Showtime’s “Huff....

However, the festival season brought forth Steven Spielberg’s TIFF-winning, semi-autobiographical “The Fabelmans” (Universal); Sam Mendes’ wistful ode to the cinema in “Empire of Light” (Searchlight Pictures); Sarah Polley’s thought-provoking “Women Talking” (UA); James Gray’s semi-autobiographical “Armageddon Time” (Focus Features); Martin McDonagh’s black comedy about a turbulent bromance, “The Banshees of Inisherin (Searchlight); Todd Field’s psychological drama, “TÁR” (Focus Features); and Ruben Östlund’s Palme d’Or-winning social satire,”Triangle of Sadness” (Neon)....

On the evening of June 14, 1997, Walt Disney Animation Studios took over Manhattan’s Times Square for a larger-than-life launch for their 35th animated feature. Amid dance numbers and celebrity arrivals, “Hercules” premiered at the New Amsterdam Theater, then newly reopened to serve as the home of “The Lion King” musical. Right outside, the Main Street Electrical Parade made its way along the famed 42nd Street. Transported from Disneyland in California to New York City for the occasion, this procession of floats — illuminated by thousands of lights — debuted two new vessels in honor of the film that everyone had gathered to celebrate....
