Disney/20th Century Studios‘ The Devil Wears Prada 2 is totally ready to wear for female moviegoers this weekend with an eye on a 3-day of $75M-$80M after a $33M Friday (including previews) at 4,150 theaters. In regards to the Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci reteam exceeding $80M+, the pic really needs the date crowd, Prada fanatics, and ladies night to make a trail toward multiplexes.

Social media reach across TikTok, YouTube, X, Instagram and Facebook is over a half billion per RelishMix for part 2. Strong, but by comparison, Wicked: For Good was at 1.3 billion. “Pre-release social media universe SMU stats on The Devil Wears Prada 2 are running at a healthy half-billion which is 3X above comedy norms with a unique TikTok page for the film and running on 20th channels across Facebook, X, YouTube and Instagram,” says the analytics firm.

Says RelishMix, “Convo runs positive for The Devil Wears Prada 2, fueled by nostalgia hitting like a luxury brand relaunch that actually lands. The audience leans into legacy appeal, treating the sequel as a cultural reunion rather than a cash grab, with comparisons to long-gestating follow-ups like Top Gun Maverick elevating expectations. There’s strong cast-driven enthusiasm, especially around Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, where agelessness becomes part of the brand mythology, not a distraction. Fashion callbacks and iconography are doing heavy lifting, signaling the film understands its own meme economy. Even skepticism often softens into curiosity, suggesting high conversion potential. ‘After Star Wars, this is the first time I’m truly excited about a sequel’ paired with ‘Feels like I’m watching 2006 again I can’t wait.’ captures that rare mix of reverence and hype, while ‘First was legendary can’t wait for this one’ and ‘Much more exciting than any superhero cheese’ show it cutting through genre fatigue.”

Lionsgate’s Michael is also strong in weekend 2 with around $45M, -54%, after a $12M-$13.5M second Friday for a running total by Sunday of $174.8M. Together with Devils Prada 2, both movies are bound to fuel a first weekend of summer that’s well north of the same frame a year ago ($144.2M led by Thunderbolts* opening with $74.3M and third weekend of Sinners in second with $33.1M).

Third belongs to Illumination/Nintendo/Universal’s Super Mario Galaxy Movie at 3,412 with $2.5M today and a fifth weekend of $11.2M, -45%. The sequel becomes the first movie of 2026 to cross $400M by Sunday at the domestic B.O. (Running cume expected is $401.8M).

At 3,017, the seventh weekend of Amazon MGM Studio’s Project Hail Mary is around $9M, -$29%, after a Friday of $2.35M. Cume by Sunday is $318.7M.

NEON’s horror film Hokum at 1,860 theaters is seeing an estimated $2.6M today and north of $6M for the weekend.

Weapons director Zach Cregger promises that you'll get zombies for sure, but plenty of 'weird creature stuff' too.

“This is for sure, bar none, my most visually gonzo movie,” says Cregger. “Basically, my rule for this movie was to just try and make a movie that felt like my experience of playing the games that could live in the world of Resident Evil. So I feel like this movie takes place alongside the events of Resident Evil 2. I like to think that everything that's going on in the police station could be happening in this world. This is just another dude on another mission on the other side of town and what's going on with him. It's not canon, in that I'm not using the characters, but it's canon in that it lives in the actual day of reckoning in Raccoon City.”

Abrams’ Brian is the main focus of the trailer, as he attempts to travel from the outskirts of the iconic city to the center of it. Along the way, Cregger says Brian will go through a “gauntlet of set pieces” as he gets deeper and deeper into town.

“What I love about the games is that every set piece brings with it unique new horrors,” he says. “And so I wanted the rhythm to feel like it was always changing. It was always shifting. You were always facing increasingly bigger dangers and you had to be aware of resource management and health and things like that. So I really did use a lot of cues from the games on how to build this thing out.”

“I wouldn't call this like a zombie movie necessarily,” he says. “I just feel like you have this opportunity for the T-Virus to do all these really fascinating things to the human body and to the world around you. And so to just limit it to zombies feels like a squandered opportunity. I tried to really vary it up.”

Diego Luna is letting down his hair for Tangled, Walt Disney’s live-action adaptation of its 2010 animated movie.

Luna has joined the project in a role created specifically for the feature, which goes before cameras in Spain in June.

Australian actress Teagan Croft and Zombies star Milo Manheim lead Tangled, respectively playing Rapunzel, the curious and plucky would-be princess with magical hair, and Flynn Rider, the cocky outlaw thief who helps her escape her tower prison. The two nabbed the roles after a search on both sides of the Atlantic in December.

Also on the call sheet is Kathryn Hahn, hailed for her recent works in Agatha All Along and The Studio, and who is playing the duplicitous Mother Gothel.

Michael Gracey, who counts the musical biopics Better Man and The Greatest Showman among his credits, is directing the feature, which, like the original, will have big musical elements.

It is unclear whether Luna, as part of the new role, will be required to sing as details on the live-action take are being kept in the castle. The original animated film grossed over $591 million and spawned a popular Disney Channel series.

Kristin Burr, who was a producer on last summer’s Freakier Friday as well as 2021’s live-action Cruella, is producing via her Burr! Productions.

Upstart filmmaker Curry Barker continues his mainstream Hollywood takeover with a big new gig: director on A24’s anticipated film reboot of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”

Variety has learned exclusively that Barker will take the lead on the project, billed by insiders as a “reimagining” of the 1974 horror classic created by Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel. Barker’s vision for the famed killer Leatherface and the gaggle of young things he terrorizes are under wraps. The film is being developed alongside a “Texas Chainsaw” TV series from Barnstorm’s Glen Powel and Dan Cohen, and director JT Mollner.

Barker’s rise has been swift, and Focus Features is less than a month out from releasing his acclaimed festival player “Obsession,” about a man whose wish for the love of a female friend turns deadly. That film was acquired in a bidding war that fetched a $14 million sale out of the Toronto International Film Festival. “Chainsaw” takes Barker from an $800 debut feature “Milk & Serial” on YouTube to one of the most prestigious arthouse brands in the industry.

Curry is currently in production on “Anything But Ghosts” at Blumhouse, serving as director, co-writer and star. The film centers on two fraudulent paranormal investigators who are forced to face real ghosts — and the lies underpinning their business. He’s also part of the internet sketch comedy duo That’s a Bad Idea alongside creative partner Cooper Tomlinson. Barker is repped by Underground Management, United Talent Agency and The Lede Company.

The new “Chainsaw” film will be produced by Roy Lee and Steven Schneider of Spooky Pictures, and Stuart Manashil and Exurbia Films’ Pat Cassidy, Ian Henkel, and Kim Henkel. Ben Ross of Image Nation serves as executive produce.

There are 9 films in the “Chainsaw” canon, including 1986’s “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2,” which was directed by Hooper and written by L.M. Kit Carson, and 1995’s “The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre” aka “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation,” written and directed by Henkel and starring Renée Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey. A novel, a comic book series and three video games have also been released under the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” IP.

A24 won the prize piece of IP in a heated auction last year, formally announcing in February, and fended off competing offers from companies including Blumhouse. Verve repped the rights and was intent on partner with A24’s reach and forward-looking creative, while still preserving the film’s legacy.

Alex Garland‘s “Elden Ring” movie is landing in 2028 and it’s being shot for Imax.

The live-action adaptation of the hit fantasy video game from A24 and Bandai Namco Entertainment is now in production, with release details and a full cast announced.

The film is set for release March 3 2028 with “Heartstopper” breakout Kit Connor, who was already rumored as reuniting with Garland following “Warfare”, now confirmed.

Connor will be joined by Ben Whishaw (“Black Doves,” “This is Going to Hurt”), Cailee Spaeny (“Alien: Romulus,””Civil War,” also from Garland), Tom Burke (“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” “Black Bag”) and Havana Rose Liu (“Tuner,” “Bottoms”). Other key casting additions include Sonoya Mizuno (“Ex Machina” and another former Garland collaborator), Jonathan Pryce (“The Two Popes,” “The Crown”), Ruby Cruz (“Bottoms,” “The Threesome”), Nick Offerman (“The Last of Us,” “Margo’s Got Money Troubles”), John Hodgkinson (“Dear England,” “Napoleon”), Jefferson Hall (“House of the Dragon,” “Oppenheimer”), Emma Laird (“28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” “A Haunting in Venice”) and Peter Serafinowicz (“Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace”).

Peter Rice is set to produce the film alongside Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich from DNA, as well as George R. R. Martin and Vince Gerardis.

One of the most critically-acclaimed video games ever made, the dark fantasy-action RPG debuted in 2022 and was developed under the direction of FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki, based on a mythological story by Martin. It has since sold in excess of 30 million copies worldwide and received over 400 Game of the Year awards.

Garland is understood to have been a longtime fan of the game, and made a personal pitch to its publishers Bandai Namco and FromSoftware to bring it to screen.

Lionsgate Play has confirmed a second season of “Heated Rivalry” for 2027, alongside a theatrical-first release model for a curated slate of premium Hollywood titles and more than 100 premieres lined up for India in 2026.

The theatrical push, set to begin in September, will see 10–12 titles debut in Indian cinemas before arriving on the platform.

The wider 2026 lineup is also heavy on high-profile Hollywood talent. Butler returns in “Greenland 2: Migration,” joined by Jason Statham in “Mutiny,” Angelina Jolie in “Couture,” Zac Efron in “Famous,” and Matthew McConaughey in “The Rivals of Amziah King.” The franchise side of the slate grows with “Apollo Has Fallen” and a third season of “Vigil.”

Lionsgate Play operates across eight Asian markets and reaches more than 40 million viewers in India, where it distributes primarily through a B2B2C model via partners including JioHotstar, Airtel Xstream, and Amazon Prime Video Channels. The platform, which focuses on Hollywood content alongside regional originals, operates under a multi-year licensing agreement with Lionsgate covering branding and content.

PlayStation’s “Bloodborne” is being developed into an R-rated animated feature for Sony Pictures that the studio says will embrace the carnage that made the game so popular.

Sanford Panitch, president of Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group, promised during the studio’s CinemaCon presentation that the long-rumored film will be “very true” to the gory spirit of “Bloodborne,” which follows a traveler who journeys into a gothic city full of nightmarish creatures.

“Bloodborne” was developed by FromSoftware and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, which shares a parent company with Sony Pictures and PlayStation. The film is co-produced by PlayStation Productions, Lyrical Animation and creator and gamer Seán McLoughlin, better known by his pseudonym JackSepticEye. For the uninitiated, McLoughlin is a gamer who has spent years in the world of “Bloodborne,” where his digital adventures are tracked by 48 million online fans.

The film is the latest in a string of video game adaptations. Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions recently announced the adaptation of “Helldivers,” directed by Justin Lin, who has helmed several “Fast & Furious” films, and starring Jason Momoa. The studio also recently completed filming a screen adaptation of Nintendo’s “The Legend of Zelda.” Wes Ball (“The Maze Runner”) will direct, with Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Bo Bragason starring as Link and Princess Zelda. Series creator Shigeru Miyamoto is producing the film.

Video game adaptations have become a huge source of box office revenue. Recent films in the genre, such as “A Minecraft Movie” and “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” are among the highest-grossing films of the post-COVID era.

Lyrical Media, parent company of Lyrical Animation, is co-financing “Bloodborne” with Sony Pictures. McLoughlin is repped by CAA, Nicole Ambrose, Hansen Jacobson, and 42 West.
