Since its release on April 1, 2026, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie—the follow-up to 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie—is proving to be a huge success, quickly outpacing other films in theaters. After only two weeks, it has become a major challenge for Superman, earning $628 million worldwide – $10 million more than Superman has made. While The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hasn’t yet surpassed Superman‘s $354 million domestic earnings, it’s a massive hit internationally, bringing in $320 million compared to Superman‘s $264 million, and those numbers are still rising.

Anitta, a Grammy nominee, performed two songs from her new album, Equilibrium, which will be released by Republic Records on April 16th. This will be her eighth studio album. She’s been a huge star in Brazil for over ten years and is gaining popularity throughout Latin America, though she’s still working to achieve mainstream success in the United States.

This year, to celebrate its 30th anniversary, Pokémon is teaming up with the electronic dance music (EDM) scene with a new event called “Pokémon Night Out.” The Pokémon Company International is hosting in-person events in both Los Angeles and London.

Even though Strange New Worlds has been popular, it will conclude after a shorter fifth season which has already been filmed. When Paul Wesley joined the cast as James T. Kirk, many fans hoped the show might continue by focusing on Kirk’s early days as captain of the Enterprise. A continuation, potentially titled Star Trek: Year One, seemed like a logical next step given the show’s talented actors, but Paramount has decided to go in a different direction.

The newest trailer for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (available below) offers the best preview yet of the upcoming prequel film. It’s directed by Francis Lawrence, who has directed four previous Hunger Games movies, including the most recent one, 2023’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. This new installment appears to be a departure from earlier films, showcasing a brighter, more colorful, and modern aesthetic—even though the story itself remains dark and heartbreaking, as fans of the book already know.

Sergio Leone dramatically reshaped Hollywood filmmaking. He connected classic cinema with the modern blockbuster, played a key role in ending the strict rules of the Hays Code, and offered a new vision of the American West. While he’s often celebrated for his ‘Dollars Trilogy,’ many consider his later films to be his true masterpieces.

For nearly ten years, this singer has been releasing music reminiscent of Sade, including a few albums. Viewers in the US watching clips of SNL UK will get a glimpse into British perspectives and discover some new musical artists. Smith is one of those artists.

The character of Marshals is taking over from Monica Dutton, and is quite different from the late Monica, played by Kelsey Asbille. Luke Grimes is back as Kayce Dutton in this new series, which picks up a little over a year after the original Yellowstone ended. Since then, Kayce has faced personal tragedy with Monica’s death and has begun working with the U.S. Marshals. As he moves forward, he’ll likely meet new allies and enemies, and possibly find love again.

Steven Yeun, famous for his role in The Walking Dead, leads the voice cast of Invincible, which also features many recognizable actors from popular films and TV shows. The cast includes stars from Marvel and Star Wars, and that’s just a glimpse of the talent involved. While some of these actors are better known for on-screen work, they’ve all delivered fantastic performances bringing Robert Kirkman’s comic book to life. Many have even surprised those who doubted their casting, though not everyone was initially convinced.

As a huge action movie fan, I’ve definitely noticed a shift in how these films are made lately. Remember those super shaky, quickly-edited action scenes, like in Taken? They’re pretty much gone! Now, filmmakers are favoring longer takes, wider shots, and really letting you see the action clearly. Some are even doing entire sequences in one continuous shot – what they call an ‘oner’. And honestly, it all started with Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski’s John Wick back in 2014. That movie really changed the game.
