For much of the past two decades, if not longer, Hollywood relied on PG-13 fare to rally the masses. Slapping a big-budget event pic with a PG rating could alienate older kids, teens and young adults (the latter are the most frequent moviegoers). Case in point: Remember the choice to change the rating from PG to PG-13 for the fourth and fifth Harry Potter movies? The franchise saw a spike in grosses for films that had the more mature rating. The past year upended this long-held theory, with PG fare — including Universal’s smash hit Wicked — accounting for as…

It was, as Tilda Swinton would say — gazing across the table one Saturday afternoon in November at the Soho House’s Luckman Club in West Hollywood — a room of “scorching glamour.” Amid the heat of all that charisma, there were three cute canines sniffing around: Zendaya’s mini black schnauzer, Noon; Demi Moore’s micro chihuahua, Pilaf; and Mikey Madison’s chihuahua puppy, Jam. The occasion for the gathering of Oscar frontrunners and the dogs who love them was THR’s annual Actress Roundtable, which this year convened Angelina Jolie (Maria), Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez), Madison (Anora), Moore (The Substance), Swinton (The Room…

Little progress has been made for women and people of color as directors in Hollywood, according to a new study by USC‘s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. In a year that was hoping to signal recovery following the 2023 writers and actors strikes, 2024 saw no major changes for women directors of top-grossing movies, according to the study. Of 112 directors, 13.4 percent were women, nearly equivalent to 2023’s 12.1 percent. However, there has been some progress since 2007, when 2.7 percent of directors were women. “The film industry has demonstrated that it can increase the percentage of women directors and hold…

Kieran Turner, a documentary filmmaker best known for producing and directing 2012’s Jobriath A.D., has died after a battle with cancer. He was 56. Turner died Dec. 23 in West Hollywood.  Throughout his career, Turner put a spotlight on gay artists who passed before their time. In Jobriath, he focused on the pioneering ‘70s glam-rock musician and first openly gay rock star, who died in 1983 at age 36 of AIDS complications. The film is said to have helped renew interest in Jobriath and inspire the re-release of his catalog. Jobriath A.D. also amassed accolades at festivals including the Dublin Gay…

James Gunn, the co-chief of DC Studios, is defending the delay of The Batman sequel to 2027. Warner Bros. announced on Friday that the release date for Matt Reeves‘ follow-up to 2022’s The Batman would be pushed to Oct. 1, 2027, which led some fans to share their disappointment on social media. But Gunn attempted to calm their worries, noting that large gaps between movies are “fairly common.” “To be fair, a 5 year gap or more is fairly common in sequels,” Gunn wrote on Threads. “7 years between Alien and Aliens. 14 years between Incredibles. 7 years between the…

The 2024 global film festival circuit featured something for every taste — from celebrated Lithuanian art house fare, such as Locarno winner Toxic and Drowning Dry, to such audience favorites as Sean Baker’s Anora and Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez, from the highs to the lows, all garnished, of course, with a big serving of star power. Some film events, such as Poland’s Camerimage, were hit by controversy, while others boosted their prominence, with Switzerland’s Locarno, for example, cementing its role as a top-tier global fest, and Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic showed once again why it is known as…
