Dwayne Johnson is carving out more territory.

Universal and Legendary have set a June 12, 2020 release date for Johnson's Red Notice, an action-thriller the two companies picked up after a bidding war last month. So far, it has the date to itself.

The film is from director Rawson Marshall Thurber, the filmmaker behind Johnson’s Central Intelligence and upcoming Skyscraper. The Hollywood Reporter reported last month it has a proposed budget between $125 million and $150 million and sees Johnson's salary cross $20 million for the first time.

Johnson plays an Interpol agent after the most wanted art thief in the world.

Alicia Vikander’s “Tomb Raider” ran off with $2.1 million on Thursday night.

Fox’s comedy-drama “Love, Simon,” meanwhile, made $850,000 from 2,125 sites during Thursday previews. It’s expanding to 2,402 venues Friday.

“Tomb Raider,” Warner Bros. and MGM’s adaptation of the popular video game, has been projected to take in about $25 million from 3,842 locations this weekend. That will challenge the fifth weekend of Disney-Marvel’s mega-hit “Black Panther,” which will likely finish in the same territory domestically.

Vikander stars as archaeologist Lara Croft, who embarks on a journey to solve the mystery of her father’s disappearance. Based on the 2013 game, the film is directed by Roar Uthaug and written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons, from a story by Evan Daugherty and Robertson-Dworet. The cast also includes Dominic West, Walton Goggins, and Daniel Wu.

Reviewers have been split on “Tomb Raider,” which has a 50% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Is Adam Rippon doing “Dancing with the Stars”? The figure skater is keeping his lips mostly sealed for now.

“I would think that, like, it would be, like, such as, umm, the Americas and such as,” the Olympic bronze medalist told “Entertainment Tonight” when asked, invoking Miss South Carolina Caitlin Upton infamous answer at the Miss Teen USA 2007 pageant. (This means he’s totally doing it, right?!)

One of the breakout stars of the Winter Olympics, Rippon seems like an ideal candidate to hit the hardwood for “Dancing”’s upcoming all-athletes season. (Plus, his BFF Mirai Nagasu has been angling for a spot already.) Rippon has been living his best life in the Olympic afterglow, doing everything from attending the Oscars to accepting the Visibility Award from the Human Rights Campaign.

Actor and producer Irrfan Khan, known around the world for his roles in such films as “Slumdog Millionaire,” “Life of Pi” and “The Darjeeling Limited,” has been diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor, a rare kind of growth that can metastasize into cancer.

One of India’s most popular and bankable stars, the 51-year-old Khan revealed the diagnosis Friday, after having divulged earlier this month that he was suffering from an unspecified disease.

“The unexpected makes us grow, which is what the past few days have been about,” Khan tweeted to his 2 million followers. “Learning that I have been diagnosed with NeuroEndocrine Tumour as of now has admittedly been difficult, but the love and strength of those around me and that I found within me has brought me to a place of hope. The journey of this is taking me out of the country, and I request everyone to continue sending their wishes.

In the age of the Internet, there’s no shortage of people who love Nintendo games, jokes, and puzzles, and have the free time to pursue all three. Today, that combination has blessed the world with the (estimated) size of the cartoon genitalia that belongs to Super Mario’s brother, Luigi. This extremely societally important measurement is the result of recently-released preview images from the upcoming Mario-branded game, “Mario Tennis Aces.” One of them shows Luigi, Mario’s taller, green-clad brother, reaching for a swing that breaks his tennis racket. And thanks to the shift of his shorts as he twists to make the...

Stormy Daniels’ lawyer says that at least some of the wrongs President Donald Trump committed against his client took place after Trump became president. During an interview with CNN Friday, Michael Avenatti, Daniels’ attorney, was asked by Jake Tapper whether any of the “litany of accusations” happened while Trump was president. “Yes,” Avenatti replied, though he refused to elaborate any further.

As “Scandal” wraps up its final season, the ABC drama’s stars are left looking for new work. Enter: “Guardians of the Galaxy.” Tony Goldwyn, at least, seems to have an open invitation to appear in another James Gunn movie after previously collaborating with the “Guardians” director on the 2016 horror movie “The Belko Experiment.” “As you know, @tonygoldwyn, I’ll work with you again Any Time,” Gunn tweeted, retweeting a post from Goldwyn responding to a fan asking about his next projects. “Back at you @JamesGunn !!! Wait, was that an offer?” Goldwyn replied. Also Read: 'Htgawm' Creator Knows You're Here for More...

“Scandal” may not air its final episode for another month, but the cast is already learning to let go, as Friday was the last day of filming on the Shondaland series. And as they are starting to say goodbye, they’re sharing their feels with their fans aka Gladiators. Showrunner Shonda Rhimes and cast members like Kerry Washington (Olivia Pope), Joshua Malina (Attorney General David Rosen), Darby Stanchfield (Abby Whelan) and Jeff Perry (Cyrus Beene) took to Twitter to commemorate the all important day in “Scandal” history.

Ariadne Getty says FX has defamed her family by depicting her brother, J. Paul Getty III, as complicit in his own kidnapping in the network’s upcoming drama series “Trust.” The letter, dated March 15 and signed by Getty’s attorney Marty Singer, calls the show a “wildly sensationalized false portrayal of the Getty family” for the way it depicts the 1973 kidnapping of her brother, J. Paul Getty III. “It is ironic that you have titled your television series ‘Trust’,” the letter read. “More fitting titles would be ‘Lies’ or ‘Mistrust,’ since the defamatory story it tells about the Gettys colluding in...

Fox Searchlight has released the first trailer to Melissa McCarthy’s fact-based dark comedy “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” Check out the trailer above. In the film, McCarthy plays Lee Israel, a once-successful biographer and magazine writer who became one of the most notorious forgers in recent American history. Israel’s career stagnated in the 1980s amid rapidly changing public tastes, but she turned turned things around in the early ’90s when she unearthed several never-seen letters from icons like Dorothy Parker and Noël Coward. The problem is that they were fakes, and she was quickly caught. Also Read: Melissa McCarthy to Star as...

Before Air Bud, before Beethoven, there was Benji, one of the most beloved (and financially successful) canine characters in cinema history — and yet, oddly enough, a name unfamiliar to an entire generation of kids who haven’t seen a new installment since 2004’s “Benji: Off the Leash!” That’s 14 long years ago, which means there’s no one in this film’s target audience (unless you count “kids at heart”) who was alive when the last film came out.

Now, thanks to Netflix, the shaggy mutt returns to the screen (although not the big one, alas) for a “Benji” reboot that proves this particular dog has more lives than most cats, more charm than most humans and more earnings potential than the proverbial golden-egg-laying goose — which might explain why Blumhouse (the low-budget genre shingle best known for horror films like “Get Out” and “Paranormal Activity”) got behind what is essentially a remake of the 1974 original,

People are saying that Wu-Tang Clan’s “People Say” is a ripoff. At least, three people are saying it in a lawsuit filed by Wu-Tang producer Mathematics. In a suit filed Friday in federal court in New York, Samuel Culley, Thomas Price and Ervan Waters, of the 1960s group The Diplomats, say that the 2017 track from the hip-hop group infringes on their 1969 song “I’ve Got the Kind of Love.” According to the suit, “People Say’ reproduces, and constitutes a derivative work based upon, Plaintiffs’ composition ‘I’ve Got The Kind of Love.'” Also Read: Wu-Tang Affiliated Rapper Posts Penis Pic to Clear...

Video game movies have a bad reputation because, well, there are very few that we’d call “good.” At their best, at least so far, the big screen versions of video games have been fun and trashy entertainment. At their worst, however, they’re as bad as anything else we’ve ever seen in a movie theater. So let’s rank ‘em! 41. “Postal” (2008) The pinnacle of director Uwe Boll‘s string of horrendous video game movies (he has five that qualify for this list by getting theatrical releases somewhere), but to be fair it’s probably still a better work of art than the game it’s based...

Cardellini will play Capone’s long-suffering wife Mae, Dillon will depict his closest friend Johnny, MacLachlan will portray his doctor Karlock,

Sci-fi fans and quirky comedy fans unite! Former “Doctor Who” star David Tennant has been announced for a role opposite former “Alias” star Jennifer Garner in “Camping,” a new eight-episode HBO comedy from “Girls” masterminds Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner. The series is based on a British program of the same name about a man’s camping trip with his wife and friends that goes awry. Tennant and Garner will play the central husband and wife.

Jimmy Buffett, the singer-songwriter behind the new Broadway musical “Escape to Margaritaville,” seems to have caught the theater bug — and he’s not throwing away his shot. In a joint interview with Tony-winning “Hamilton” composer-star Lin-Manuel Miranda that aired on Sirius Xm Friday, Buffett said that he really would like to play King George in Miranda’s hit hip-hop musical about founding father Alexander Hamilton. “I can get some high-heel boots and then there we go,” Buffett said, after performing a few bars of the British monarch’s Act 1 number “You’ll Be Back.” Also Read: 'Escape to Margaritaville' Broadway Review: Jimmy Buffett Kicks...
