If theaters were told they needed to close one weekend a year, Super Bowl Sunday would be a strong contender. Normally it’s the worst grossing, or very close; studios avoid the date and often the weekends around it. While box-office performance has been weak for nearly a year, this one is worse than usual: The total is around $7.4 million for the top 10, and $8.5 million overall from approximately 2,500 open theaters in North America.

One likely reason is the proliferation of parallel home viewing. Seven of the titles, and nine of the top 12, are available on non-theater platforms.. The parallel 2020 calendar weekend grossed $156 million; the Super Bowl was the previous weekend, and took in $81 million. Even from that more apt comparison, ticket sales are down about 90 percent.

It didn’t help that “The Little Things,” repeating as #1, was down 55 percent. It faced a lack of audience enthusiasm (it had a weak...

Sunday Am Final: On one of the most difficult box office dates on the calendar, Super Bowl weekend, and also during a pandemic, Warner Bros.’ second weekend of its Denzel Washington-Rami Malek-Jared Leto thriller The Little Things made $2.1M at 2,206 theaters, -55% from its first weekend. That puts the pic’s running domestic total through ten days at $7.8M. As would be typical during any Super Bowl Sunday, don’t count on a lot of business today, especially for an R-rated movie aimed at older men.

Little Things’ second weekend drop is a bit more steep than the second weekend of Open Road’s Liam Neeson movies The Honest Thief (-43%) and The Marksman (-35%); in regards to the latter, that movie was coming off of MLK weekend. However, on a dollar basis, Little Things’ second weekend is in line with what those movies did in their second go-rounds,...

Sunday Am Final: If you’re looking for any exciting financial action to come out of the movie business, it’s not at the box office, but rather the stock exchange, especially in last week’s boom for No. 1 exhibitor AMC.

The continued closure of movie theaters during Covid-19, with only 45% of all 5.8K US and Canada movie theaters opened, yielded Warner Bros. Denzel Washington-Rami Malek thriller The Little Things this past weekend, which only opened to $4.8M at 2,171 theaters, the best for an R-rated movie and older guy fare during the pandemic. Worldwide, The Little Things made $7.6M, with money from 20 markets, including Russia, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and United Artists Emirates.

However, even though there’s not a lot of people coming through movie theaters, including No. 1 chain AMC, that exhibitor capped off a wild week, seeing its market cap mushroom to $4.5 billion and its closing stock price...

“Morbius,” a Marvel movie starring Jared Leto as a biochemist who becomes a vampire, has seen its release date pushed back two times due to the coronavirus. As Sony Pictures is waiting for movie theaters to open again, the comic book film now has a release date set for January 2022.

In an interview for Variety’s Actor on Actors, presented by Amazon Studios, Leto talks about playing Morbius, the “Spider-Man” foe, which Sony hopes will score at the box office in the same way 2018’s “Venom” did.

“It’s a big, fun movie filled with action,” Leto says. “It’s a brilliant doctor, a researcher, who starts off trying to find a cure for a very rare disease that he has and about 1,000 other people in the world have. I was interested in this role because he goes on this journey from dying to finding a cure for this disease and becoming incredibly healthy,...

The box office is in a fallow period, but Liam Neeson prevails. He opened two films at #1 over the last four months; a few weeks ago, a decade-old Neeson title topped Netflix’s movie chart. Not bad for a 68-year-old actor who was Oscar nominated for “Schindler’s List” but is now one-man action/thriller brand.

“The Marksman” knocked “Wonder Woman 1984” from the top spot; the DC title spent three weeks there while also showing on HBO Max. Directed by longtime Clint Eastwood producer Robert Lorenz, “The Marksman” stars Neeson as an Arizona rancher who becomes the unlikely defender of a Mexican boy pursued by cartel assassins. It ticks all the boxes for the Neeson brand: a lone wolf-turned-vigilante in pursuit of justice.

Neeson opened “Honest Thief” in October with $4.1 million on its way to $14 million in theaters. “The Marksman” opened to just over $3.2 million. With fewer theaters available, its...

Sunday Final Am: In a continuing pandemic marketplace such as this, with 57% of all movie theaters still closed, whether you’re a distributor or an exhibitor, you have to be thankful for any amount of money you can get your hands on. Open Road has released the second Liam Neeson movie during the pandemic, The Marksman, over the MLK 4-day holiday, and it’s opening to $3.7M. It’s the third Neeson movie to hit No. 1 for Open Road after October’s Honest Thief and their first wide entry ever, The Grey.

Open Road Boss Tom Ortenberg tells Deadline this morning, “It’s a universal truth that even in a depressed market lies opportunity. And there are plenty of people who want to go to the movies. Not everyone wants to go theaters, and cinemas aren’t open everywhere. But there are a lot of people who are looking for broad-based entertainment,...

WarnerMedia will be closing its Hong Kong theatrical office, with films from Warner Bros to be released by Universal Pictures in the market beginning January 1, Deadline has confirmed. Layoffs are expected in Hong Kong, though an exact number is not yet clear.

A typically solid market, Hong Kong’s cinemas shuttered for the third time in early December, amid a fourth wave of rising coronavirus cases. Earlier this week, the government extended social distancing measures until at least January 6, 2021, which includes the continued closure of movie theaters.

Warner Bros’ Tenet did $7.1 million in the market after releasing September 10. Wonder Woman 1984 had originally been scheduled for release there on December 17, but was forced off the date due to the ongoing closures. It is understood to now be awaiting an update on movie theater reopenings for WW84. The first title on WB’s domestic slate in 2021 is John Lee Hancock’s The Little Things starring Denzel Washington,...

Agency will engage with Warner Bros on film-by-film basis until clients’ needs are met.

Endeavor executive chairman Patrick Whitesell has entered the fray over the controversial Warner Bros / HBO Max distribution strategy, claiming it will “torpedo the traditional waterfall of economics that make movies profitable in the near and long-term for the studio and for our clients”.

Writing to staff on Friday (December 11), Whitesell addressed the recently announced policy whereby each film from Warner Bros’ 2021 slate will debut on HBO Max for one month on the same day it opens in US cinemas.

The move has drawn the censure of directors Christopher Nolan,...

Patrick Whitesell, executive chairman of WME parent company Endeavor, has blasted WarnerMedia’s stunning plan to stream all 17 of its 2021 Warner Bros. theatrical releases on HBO Max at the same time as they play in theaters.

“Warner Bros. announced a strategy across an entire slate of 2021 movies without consulting with their partners (our clients), not only disregarding our clients’ feelings about the strategy but in many cases constituting a contractual violation,” Whitesell said in a note released Friday. “This is a blatant attempt to self-deal and use our clients work to build their HBO Max streaming service, which our clients have no financial interest in.”

“The simultaneous release on HBO Max will cannibalize the domestic box office and torpedo the traditional waterfall of economics that make movies profitable in the near and long-term for the studio and for our clients, a point our client Chris Nolan very articulately made this week,...

Endeavor executive chairman Patrick Whitesell says in a note to staff that the agency is rejecting Warner Bros.’ approach to releasing its entire 2021 slate on HBO Max the same day as in theaters.

The talent agency is meeting with the studio Friday to additionally negotiate “a solution that protects the creative and economic interests of our clients.”

“As I made clear to the Motion Picture group last week and will reiterate now: WME rejects their unilateral decision out of hand,” Whitesell said, adding that they were “disappointed” with the decision but also says that the studio is disregarding the feelings of WME’s clients, if not violating contracts. “This is a blatant attempt to self-deal and use our clients work to build their HBO Max streaming service, which our clients have no financial interest in.”

The upcoming Amazon series “Outer Range” has rounded out its main cast.

Lewis Pullman, Noah Reid, Shaun Sipos, and Isabel Arraiza have all been cast in the series, Variety has learned. They join previously announced cast members Josh Brolin, Lili Taylor, Tamara Podemski, Tom Pelphrey, and Imogen Poots.

“Outer Range” centers on Royal Abbott (Brolin), a rancher fighting for his land and family, who discovers an unfathomable mystery at the edge of Wyoming’s wilderness.

Pullman is set to take on the role of Rhett Abbott, the family’s younger, more rebellious son. He never thought much past his ambition to become a championship bull rider — until a shocking event, and a girl just returned to town, push him to reconsider everything he thought he knew.

Pullman will next be seen in the film “Top Gun: Maverick” opposite Tom Cruise. His previous credits include the Hulu limited series “Catch-22” and...

Wonder Woman: 1984 will be the first of many Warner Bros. movies heading to HBO Max on the same day they launch in movie theaters.

In an unprecedented move, Warner Bros. has announced that its entire 2021 movie slate will launch in a similar fashion to Wonder Woman: 1984.

The expansive 2021 slate includes projects such as The Suicide Squad, The Matrix 4, Dune, Godzilla vs. Kong, and Space Jam: A New Legacy.

The slate also includes Little Things, Judas and the Black Messiah, Tom & Jerry, Mortal Kombat, Those Who Wish Me Dead, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, In The Heights, Reminiscence, Malignant, The Many Saints of Newark, King Richard, and Cry Macho.

The move is in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has brought movie theaters to a halt in recent months, with several movies being delayed multiple times.

Warner Bros has just dated John Lee Hancock’s cop thriller The Little Things for a January 29, 2021 release. The distributor already had the date reserved with an untitled film. The movie, which starts Denzel Washington and Rami Malek, is now going up against Paramount’s animated monster-wrestling movie Rumble on that date.

The pic, written by Hancock, centers around Deke (Washington), a burnt-out Kern County, CA deputy sheriff who teams with Baxter (Malek), a crack Lasd detective, to nab a serial killer. Deke’s nose for the “little things” proves eerily accurate, but his willingness to circumvent the rules embroils Baxter in a soul-shattering dilemma. Meanwhile, Deke must wrestle with a dark secret from his past.

Jared Leto and Natalie Morales also star. Hancock and Mark Johnson produce, while Mike Drake is executive producer.

Overall on-location filming in Los Angeles dropped 5% from October through December, according to a report released by permitting agency FilmLA on Friday.

Officials said the decline in overall shoot days to 9,839 was due partly to record activity levels in 2018, which generated the highest level of local production activity of any quarter in 25 years, with 10,359 shoot days.

Most of the decline came from commercials and other categories outside features and television. Fourth-quarter TV activity edged down 34 days to 3,761, and feature films declined by 26 days to 1,052.

TV comedy production jumped 39.4% to 548 days, web-based TV increased 36% to 423 shoot days, and pilot production surged 33.3% to 64 days. TV drama production declined 9.7% to 1,345 days due to fewer shows and fewer production days for recurring shows, as several major recurring series such as “Ballers,” “Legion,” “Strange Angel” and “The Affair” ended production over the past two quarters. TV reality production declined 4.4% to 1,006 days.

Netflix has unveiled its most popular titles internationally with true-crime doc The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann topping the UK list and Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston comedy Murder Mystery leading in Australia.

In India, Bollywood romantic drama Kabir Singh was the most popular release, while the second season of gritty Indian crime drama, Sacred Games, topped the series list. There are also lists for France and Germany (below).

The streamer hasn’t officially revealed the methodology, but the list is thought to have been based on the number of accounts in each country that have watched at least two minutes of a title during its first 28 days on Netflix this year. For series, only the most popular season is counted and for shows and movies that have been released recently, the rankings are based on 28-day projections derived from the initial sampling.

Rami Malek is currently in negotiations to star in the upcoming cop thriller entitled Little Things, alongside Denzel Washington. John Lee Hancock, known for writing and directing The Blind Side, will be directing from the script he wrote for the film.

Washington is set to play a seasoned deputy sheriff, and if Malek is cast, he will play “a sharp young detective who teams with a seen-it-all deputy sheriff on the hunt for a serial killer. The sheriff has a nose for the ‘little things’ that are helpful in putting clues together, but he’s got baggage and a willingness to cut corners that bristles with his younger partners.”

Sounds very similar to Training Day! But that’s not a bad thing. I would love to see Malek in this type of role. It seems like he can pretty much play any part, and we haven’t really seen him do something like this.

Oscar-winning actor Rami Malek is in early talks to co-star with actor-filmmaker Denzel Washington in the crime thriller Little Things.

Deke's nose for the Little Things proves eerily accurate, but his willingness to circumvent the rules embroils Baxter in a soul-shattering dilemma. Meanwhile, Deke must wrestle with a dark secret from his past.

Denzel Washington is in talks to star in the John Lee Hancock-written thriller Little Things at Warner Bros, Deadline has confirmed.

The Oscar-winning actor will step into the role of Deke, a burned out Kern County sheriff who teams with La County Sheriff’s Department detective, Baxter, to reel in a wily serial killer. Deke’s nose for the “little things” (hence the title of the movie) proves eerily accurate, but his willingness to circumvent the rules embroils Baxter in a soul-shattering dilemma. All the while, Deke wrestles with a dark secret from his past. Hancock, who directed The Blindside and Highway Men, is circling the directing chair at Little Things.

Washington recently starred in The Equalizer 2 and is set to direct Journal for Jordan, Sony Pictures’ upcoming adaptation of Pulitzer-winning journalist Dana Cadendy’s bestselling memoir. Oscar-nominated Mudbound scribe Virgil Williams wrote the script while Michael B. Jordan...

Denzel Washington is in talks with Warner Bros. to join the cop thriller “Little Things,” a person with knowledge of the negotiations confirmed to TheWrap.

Washington would play Deke, a jaded Kern County police officer with the uncanny ability to spot the “little things” in an investigation and a willingness to break the rules. That unstable combination comes to a head when he must team up with an Lasd detective named Baxter to track down a serial killer.

Washington was most recently seen in the first sequel of his career, “The Equalizer 2,” which grossed $102 million domestically at the box office last summer and $190 million worldwide. He is also currently attached to direct Michael B. Jordan in the true-story military drama “Journal For Jordan” for Sony, which would be his fourth project as director.

Washington is repped by Wme. The talks were first reported by Variety.

NetflixThe concerns of a not-so-new couple have been portrayed realistically in this Netflix original series.Saraswati DatarAfter an extremely popular Season 1, Season 2 of the television miniseries Little Things released online recently as a Netflix original. The first five episodes produced by Dice media two years ago won hearts instantly with their realistic and refreshing take on love blooming between two youngsters over little things in the big city of Mumbai. Little Things 2, directed by Ruchir Arun, takes us back into the lives of Dhruv (Dhruv Sehgal) and Kavya (Mithila Palkar) who have been dating for almost five years now. Season 1 ended with Kavya deciding to quit her job and try her hand at something else, after getting tipsy at an impromptu wine tasting. Season 2 opens presumably a couple of years later. The pair is still in love, but the cutesy romance and cuddling has now given way to the concerns of a not-so-new couple.

Netflix has confirmed that 57 new original series, movies and specials will be debuting on the streaming service in October, including the second seasons of “Big Mouth,” “Castlevania” and “Little Things” as well as season 3 of “Daredevil.”

And there will also be new to Netflix seasons of some of your favorites from other networks, including the fourth season of two very different shows – Disney’s “Sofia the First” and Fox’s “Gotham.” Likewise, there will be plenty of movies making their first Netflix appearances including the red-hot Oscar contender “The Kindergarten Teacher.”
