‘Pitch Perfect 3’ Hits A Low Note In The Franchise’s Box Office Performance By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 3, 2018 11:30 am EST Releasing a third Pitch Perfect movie is like singing to a choir — its built-in audience will propel the movie to the top of the box office charts no matter the Rotten Tomatoes score.

‘Stranger Things’ Originally Had A Much More Violent Eleven By Angie Han/Jan. 22, 2017 2:00 pm EST For a series filled with young stars and suffused with nostalgia for simpler times, Stranger Things goes to some pretty dark places. (Sometimes even literally dark places, like the Upside Down.) Even so, it’s largely a family-friendly show, provided you’re not watching with very young children. But series creators Matt and Ross Duffer revealed that their original vision leaned more R-rated, especially when it came to Eleven....

Speaking with Collider, Jackman said that while the prospect of Wolverine in the MCU was tempting to him in the past, his days of weird pointy haircuts and simmering mutant rage are at an end: While it’s potentially exciting to imagine Jackman’s Wolverine showing up in an upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film, it’s also worth acknowledging that very few actors have played one specific part for nearly 20 years....
