12 hours ago
Justice League is just about a year away from arriving in theaters. The movie has a lot on its shoulders, given the lukewarm response to the movies in the DC Extended Universe so far and the fact that it will be the first time the team will be seen together in live-action.

Chewbacca Actor Slams Shatner in Hilarious Star Trek Vs. Star Wars Tweet
14 hours ago
There has always been a perceived divide in fandoms between Star Wars and Star Trek. Which is better? Well, that may ultimately come down to which franchise has had the worse moment, and William Shatner recently took a shot at Star Wars and the lowest of the low moments in a galaxy far far away. Yes, Captain Kirk decided to throw some shade at the much-maligned Star Wars Holiday Special.
Even George Lucas has done everything he can to erase the legacy of the Star Wars Holiday Special from the face of the planet. Somewhat unsuccessfully. It is considered to be truly awful and makes The Phantom Menace look like a masterpiece. The special recently celebrated its 38th anniversary, and William Shatner decided to take to his Twitter account to commemorate the event, by taking a shot at Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Chewbacca himself, Peter Mayhew.

As most fans already know, Easter eggs are one of the truly fun and distinguishing elements of movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

AMC is about to become the largest theater operator in the world and that means they have a lot of power. They will also be making a lot of money, but they aren't content with a lot, as they are looking to add some more revenue to their stream. The problem?

The Hollywood Reporter was present at the recent Mkm Partners Entertainment, Leisure and Consumer Technology Conference. During the conference, AMC Entertainment CFO Craig Ramsey spoke and talked about potentially doing "variable pricing in the U.S." Here is what he had to say, according to THR.
