Its going up against Paddington in Peru - I wonder which will do better at the box office.

I've watched things solely because Anya Taylor-Joy was in them, but The Gorge won't be one.
Paddington is weird. It's gotten significant critical praise, but I just checked and the first one only pulled $300m at the box office and 2 did worse. For some reason I thought it flirted with the billion mark.
Furiosa was a bomb, Dune: Part Two had a decent haul (but ATJ wasn't in a significant role), Super Mario was huge (but it's a voice role), Amsterdam bombed, The Menu did okay, The Northman bombed, The New Mutants bombed (but ATJ was easily the best part of the film), Last Night in Soho bombed, Emma did okay relative to its production cost, Glass and Split were massive hits relative to production cost, and The VVitch was a financial success as well.
Outside of Super Mario she hasn't starred in a financially successful film since Glass in 2019.
TLDR: I would bet against an ATJ led film doing well at the box office.

The praise quotes in the trailer all
Describe it as a comedy and hilarious. The trailer itself is straight psychological horror. A24 might have played themselves.
I'm excited. I really liked the first one. And it looks like a good extension of the first and on first glance not to terrible of an up the stakes outrageously extension (outside of the obvious ridiculousness of the premise). I'd suggest catching the first one personally.

Yeah, I'll second that The Accountant was a pretty good flick.

I'm still waiting for a studio to release an Alien film where the hero is a Weyland-Yutani executive. Imagine the fan rage about that twist.

That’s basically the original Aliens vs Predator story. I still don’t understand why they didn’t just make a film of the damn book, instead of the abomination that we got.

Bit early to get hyped, but Spielberg is working on an as yet unnamed UFO film and Raimi is returning to horror(albeit "survival horror") with "Send Help". Both releasing in 2026.

For those of us with cat allergies, the most horrifying manga/anime is coming...
Nyaight of the Living Cat
Take the standard Zombie Apocalypse, but replace zombies with cats... and if the cat touches you, you turn into a cat.
Produced by Takashi Miike.

They'll have strong competition if they're looking for a Christmas release...

After watching Nic Cage star in a movie where he had no dialog and fought animitronic nightmares, there is nothing he cannot do.

IDK what it is, but there's something so incredibly encouraging seeing this series shape up like it's trying to be everything our edgy teen selves thought was badass and cool in early 00s. Like, if I had to peg what it is about Devil May Cry and keeps DMC3 in particular in my head even 20+ years later, it's that. That Dante embodied everything stupid teenager me thought was awesome.
Somehow, the trailer matches to capture that particular brand of nostalgia and not be utterly cringe inducing while sounding like an early youtube AMV XD

It's amazing how long DMC has been in production. The greatest Batman: Kevin Conroy, who passed away a while ago is listed in the credits.

The Last Starfighter 2 During a recent appearance at this year’s Indiana Comic Convention (via /Film), The Last Starfighter director Nick Castle confirmed he’s still working with the original film’s writer, Jonathan R. Beutel, on a sequel.

Honestly at this stage I'd do Last Starfighter remake because capturing the charm of the old film decades upon decades later is going to be freakishly hard to achieve.
Whilst I dislike the whole "reboot everything" if you're going to do it after this many years - sometimes - its better to just start fresh.
