Another weekend in the books, another reason to be pessimistic about the state of the box office in 2024. We are just coming off of the worst Memorial Day weekend in decades in terms of ticket sales, thanks to weak performances by both "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and "The Garfield Movie".

Now? With no meaningfully big movies entering the marketplace, theaters were left to suffer β€” so much so that this past weekend now ranks as literally one of the worst weekends the summer box office has experienced in a quarter century. Send help!
Plenty of "Star Trek" gadgets may have gone from dream to reality in the years since the franchise began, but unfortunately, one of the show's creations just went from real life back to the realm of fiction.

It's "Alien" vs. "Predator" all over again. As the next installment of the classic horror franchise is set to arrive later this year with "Alien: Romulus," the rival "Predator" series is gearing up for a revival of its own.

Director Dan Trachtenberg's "Prey" injected fresh blood into the IP in 2022, stripping away all the flashy bells and whistles from Shane Black's messy sequel and instead taking things back in time to colonial America. In fact, the Hulu film earned such glowing praise that it led to a buzzy announcement earlier this year, when we heard the promising news thatΒ 20th Century Studios would be bringing Trachtenberg back for more movies to come.

At the time, all that was revealed was the title of the next planned feature β€” "Badlands" β€” but now we know which actor has been handpicked to lead Trachtenberg's new film.
