-Marvel’s 2-part Infinity War get’s new title

It’s Monday which means it’s time for the weekend box office report brought to you by our friends at AMC theatres. Jason Bourne dominated the weekend box office, opening at No 1 with $60 million dollars. The movie delivered its second largest domestic opening in the Bourne franchise behind only The Bourne Ultimatum, which opened with $69.2 million back in 2007.

It looks like Spider-Man: Homecoming is shaping up to be an Avengers type event movie of the season. We already know that Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man will be appearing in the movie, now it appears that Black Widow may also be stopping by for a chat with the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

We’ve still got some ways to go before we’re the epic two-film showdown known as Avengers: Infinity War – Part I and Avengers: Infinity War – Part II. They’ve been slated for a May 4, 2018 release, and a May 3, 2019 release respectively, and that hasn’t changed in the slightest. What is new, however, is an official name change from Disney and Marvel Studios. Avengers: Infinity War – Part I will now be known simply as Avengers: Infinity War.

The Uncharted movie is still alive at Sony with Variety now reporting that Joe Carnahan has come aboard the project as its new screenwriter, although he won’t be directing due to scheduling conflicts with his Bad Boys 3, which is his next film. Carnahan told Variety he’d love to take a crack at directing the film, saying that in a perfect world he’d do both.

Back in 2012, The Fifth Element filmmaker Luc Besson took some flack for his sci-fi film Lockout, which he co-wrote and executive produced (but didn’t direct), with fans pointing out how similar the film’s plot was to John Carpenter’s 1981 classic Escape from New York. One person who also found the similarities too on the nose was Carpenter himself, who sued Besson in court over the alleged similarities.

With the Suicide Squad junket underway in New York, director David Ayer took to social media to answer some fan questions and in the process, dropped some news about the one-time possibility of a King Shark-equipped Suicide Squad. At the time, it was Killer Croc who almost sat this one out in favor of the King Shark character.

In a new interview with Variety, Jeff Bridges was at a recent press event for his Hell or High Water movie, the neo-Western that he stars in alongside Chris Pine and Ben Foster. Variety asked him about his opinion on John Turturro‘s comments about a movie based around his Jesus character from The Big Lebowski. Bridges said that Turturro’s story was a “great idea,” and that he would love to make a cameo in the film, but he also added his own idea for a sequel.
