TRON: Ares Achieves Unexpected Success After Box Office Failure

Despite being a major box office failure in 2025, TRON: Ares might not be the end of the Tron story after all. The film, starring Jared Leto, was intended to revive the sci-fi series for a new audience, but it was the third Tron movie in a row to underperform in theaters. Surprisingly, recent streaming numbers show the film is gaining popularity, similar to previous Tron installments, and could potentially lead to another sequel.

Billy Bob Thornton Stole the Show in Yellowstone’s 1883

Viewers have recently enjoyed seeing Michael Thornton in Landman, but he actually started working with Taylor Sheridan on another project beforehand. He previously teamed up with Sam Elliott, his co-star from Tombstone, in the Western drama 1883. However, five years later, many are beginning to forget Thornton’s part in that Yellowstone prequel, likely because his role wasn’t very extensive.

Sorry, Demon Slayer – New Top 10 Movie Ranking Shows Anime’s $6M Box Office Club Is Bigger Than You Think

I was really digging through the latest box office numbers from Japan, and it’s fascinating! The Motion Picture Producers Association just released the official figures for last year (December 2024 to November 2025), and it turns out only 38 Japanese films managed to pull in over 1 billion yen. What’s even more interesting is that anime dominated – 14 of those big earners were actually anime movies! It really shows how popular anime is in Japan.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Egg’s Prophecy Explained

Throughout the series, the true identity of young Egg remained a mystery, but this episode confirmed what many viewers had guessed: he is one of the lost sons of Prince Maekar Targaryen I. He was forced to reveal himself when Aerion attempted to harm Dunk for protecting Tanselle the Tall. Before this reveal, Dunk and Egg encountered a mysterious fortune-teller whose words deeply disturbed Egg. Though A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has generally been seen as a story focused on action rather than magic, this prophecy suggests there’s more to the tale than meets the eye.

The Russo Bros.’ New Prime Video Movie Is Finally Resurrecting the Pirate Genre for the 2020s

Now streaming on Prime Video, The Bluff offers a fresh take on pirate stories, moving beyond traditional tales of treasure and battles at sea. Produced by and directed by Frank E. Flowers, the film trades in the usual lightheartedness for a more realistic and intense portrayal. With Priyanka Chopra Jonas delivering a powerful performance as a hardened female pirate, it reimagines the classic high-seas adventure for modern audiences.

‘Reacher’s Pile of Source Material Presents a Strange Problem

I recently read an interview with Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon Studios, and she pretty much confirmed what fans are hoping for: Alan Ritchson will continue playing Jack Reacher for as long as he wants! She told The Hollywood Reporter back in 2024 that there are no plans to end the series with him in the lead – she’s hoping for many, many more seasons. Ritchson himself has echoed that sentiment, saying he’s committed to the show for the long haul. As we get ready for Season 4, it’s fantastic to hear this, but honestly, it also makes me a little sad to think about a world without new Reacher episodes eventually!

Netflix’s Triple Frontier Still Deserves a Sequel

As a movie fan, I really enjoyed Triple Frontier. It stars a fantastic cast – Pedro Pascal, Charlie Hunnam, Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, and Garrett Hedlund – playing former Delta Force guys who decide to pull off a heist targeting a dangerous drug lord. It’s a thrilling ride because, naturally, things don’t go as planned and they’re forced to fight for their lives. It actually had a limited theatrical release in March 2019, but most people probably saw it when it hit Netflix shortly after.

Apple TV’s Horror Romance Was Perfect Until The Final 10 Minutes

Drasa and Levi must work together to keep dangerous, mutated creatures contained within a massive chasm called The Gorge. Though they aren’t allowed to speak to each other at first, they form a connection across the divide. Despite a promising story and strong performances from the leads, The Gorge doesn’t quite deliver, falling flat due to underdeveloped characters and an unexpected, disappointing ending.
