Of course, it should be noted that Anna Mastro’s “Secret Society of Second-Born Royals” might skew a bit younger than any of those films — if your child can say its tongue-twister of a title without struggling, they’re already too old for it — but it’s hard to tell if it’s deliberately targeting a certain demographic or just too sloppy and unsophisticated to work on anyone who’s learned to tell the difference in quality between “Cars” and “Planes....

The official “Spencer” synopsis from Neon and Topic Studios reads: “December, 1991: The Prince and Princess of Wales’ marriage has long since grown cold. Though rumors of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at Sandringham Estate. There’s eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game. This year, things will be a whole lot different.” “It’s only three days of her life,” Larraín previously told Deadline about the movie’s structure, “and in that very small amount of time, you’re able to get into a wider, bigger perspective of who she was....

That still stung nearly 30 years late when Lee returned to Cannes in 2018 with “BlacKkKlansman,” which won the Cannes Grand Prix as well as his first Oscar, for Best Adapted Screenplay. “Cannes can be brutal if you don’t get the right reception: ‘Shit, why did I come?’ It’s good to get the flip side,” he said. “I’ve been doing this for three decades. Making a good film is a miracle....

Fifteen years later, the film — which literally ends with its equine hero riding off into the sunset, the point of the entire movie — inspired a strange followup: a computer-animated Netflix series about a plucky tween girl who befriends a wild mustang named Spirit and basically folds him into her (domesticated!) life on the American frontier. The series, entitled “Spirit Riding Free,” is readying for its ninth season, to say nothing of the specials, spinoff series, and short-form selections that have accompanied it....

Premiering February 16, “Picard” debuts a new starship, the U.S.S. Titan, and brings the original “Star Trek: The Next Generation” crew from the U.S.S. Enterprise-D back together to save Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden). The teaser for Season 3 launched during Paramount+’s “Star Trek Day” on September 8. The 10-episode season of “Picard” marks Stewart reprising his iconic role of Jean-Luc Picard after seven seasons on “The Next Generation” and two previous “Picard” seasons....

“We’re taping this just a little while after Donald Trump walked into the White House briefing room and tried to poison American democracy,” Colbert said. “That’s why I’m not sitting down yet. I just don’t feel like it yet. That’s also why I’m dressed for a funeral. Because Donald Trump tried really hard to kill something tonight.” Colbert said Trump’s claims are made up of “just nonsensical stuff about illegal vote dumps and corrupt election officials and secret Democratic counting cabals and, I don’t know, long-form birth certificates, probably....

That seems to be the logic that’s driving the Disney and Warner Bros. strategies to provide virtually no performance data for these two major releases. As a PVOD title, there’s no guarantee of any “Mulan” results. Warner Bros. does plan to provide a “Tenet” number, singular: One total, on Sunday, that accounts for 12 days’ release in Canada and August 31 – September 6 in the U.S. For many reasons, these films are outliers....
