For four nights at Madison Square Garden, Olivia Rodrigo unlocked the inner pop-rock rage queen in her tens of thousands-deep audience. Those shows brought the first North American leg of the Guts world tour to a close as the singer and songwriter gets ready to head over to Europe for nearly two full months of performances. In a recent Instagram post, Rodrigo reflected on the milestone accomplishment with a carousel celebrating special guests who joined her both on the stage and in the audience.

Up until recently I worked the night shift in a hotel, so I know how creepy it can feel at times, especially when you’re getting used to the place with all of the building’s odd little noises and quirks. That’s the position Gwen finds herself in.
Recently moved into the area and in need of money, she’s answered an ad for a temporary overnight position at the All Tucked Inn. The owner Teddy, who seems to be making his story up as he goes along, tells her the woman who regularly does the job has been sidelined with medical issues. He’d love to stay and help, but he has a date. But there’s nothing to worry about, this is a quiet, peaceful place where nothing ever happens.

Although Phoebe Tonkin was in the 2012 shark thriller Bait and the high profile 2022 flop Babylon, most viewers probably know her from her work in television: she has been on multiple episodes H2O: Just Add Water, Home and Away, The Secret Circle, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Westworld, Safe Harbour, and more. I just finished watching a Netflix series she was in, Boy Swallows Universe, which I thought was pretty great. Now Tonkin has the lead role in a thriller called Night Shift, which just received a VOD and limited theatrical release today, courtesy of Quiver Distribution. To help you figure out whether or not Night Shift is a movie you’d like to see, we have a clip and the film’s trailer embedded above.

Netflix has brought the curtain down on the Michelle Yeoh crime drama “The Brothers Sun” after one season.
The actioner revolving around Taiwanese organized crime and set in Southern California’s San Gabriel Valley bowed Jan. 4 on Netflix’s global platform. The series was created and executive produced by Brad Falchuk and Byron Wu.

The series had an eight-episode run. Chein played a Taiwanese mobster who heads to Los Angeles area to protect his estranged mother after his father is assassinated in Taipei.

Instead of shunning martial arts as cliché or stereotypical, many Asian creatives have leaned into that audience familiarity to help tell complex stories surrounding their experiences in this country and beyond. Michelle Yeoh has played a role in some of these recent efforts, including Disney+’s “American Born Chinese” and Marvel’s box office smash “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” Now the “Everything Everywhere All At Once” star and historic Oscar winner is back at it, bringing her Hollywood clout to “The Brothers Sun” on Netflix.

Michelle Yeoh is back! Not that she went anywhere, to paraphrase the Nicolas Cage comedy "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent." Still, we're undeniably in the midst of a renaissance (a Yeohnaissance?) for the Oscar-winning Malaysian superstar, one that arguably started with her role as the steely matriarch of the uber-wealthy Young family in 2018's "Crazy Rich Asians." Her latest project, "The Brothers Sun," once again sees Yeoh playing the determined head of a clan, this time portraying Eileen Sun, the wife of the recently assassinated head of a powerful Taiwanese triad.
The Sun family's connections to organized crime come as a real shock to Eileen's youngest son Bruce (Sam Song Li), who's been living a quiet life with his mother in Los Angeles when his older brother, Charles (Justin Chien), shows up to break the news ... and with a whole lot of dangerous people who want them dead on his tail.

Michelle Yeoh continues to fight for her family. Netflix released the trailer for the new action comedy series The Brothers Sun. The former Jackie Chan co-star is the matriarch of a crime family called “The Jade Dragons” and a new gang has set its sights on cutting the head off of the snake.

While Michelle Yeah only recently received an Oscar for her marvellous performance in Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, she has been at the top tier of the action film industry for decades, starring alongside the likes of Jackie Chan in Supercop, Cynthia Rothrick in Yes Madam, Jet Li in Tai Chi Master and Donnie Yen in Wing Chun.
And that was all before Tomorrow Never Dies and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the films that primarily put her on the map for western audiences.

There are a lot of Stephen King adaptations out in the world; some are fantastic, others are… not so great. One that lands in the not-so-great category is The Langoliers, the 1995 miniseries based on the novella by Stephen King. However, just because one adaptation failed doesn’t mean somebody can’t try again, and The Boogeyman director Rob Savage has previously expressed a desire to tackle a remake of The Langoliers.
Related King on Screen Review
While speaking with ComicBook.com, Rob Savage said that while the issue of the rights are still being dealt with, he thinks there’s a “good shot” he’s able to bring The Langoliers to life.
“There’s a bit of naughtiness when it comes to the rights, but I think hopefully we’ll be able to sort it out,” Savage said. “We’ve got such a great idea for developing that one out from the short story.

“Peace over pleasure,” Olivia Rodrigo told me one night in Los Angeles while serving herself a steamy, heaping plate of spaghetti and meatballs. “That’s my saying.” Getting to hear casual truth-bombs like this is part of the joy that comes from spending time with the wisest 20-year-old in pop, and for our October cover story, we spent quite a lot of it.

Seeing Olivia Rodrigo isn’t such a bad idea for Tate McRae, who dubs the Guts hitmaker her Bff.
“We’re just like best friends. She’s like one of my closest friends in L.A., So, um, we just chill. Hang out.”
The multi-platinum Canadian singer-songwriter — who recently starred in Rodrigo’s music video for “bad idea right?” — said the two love to hang out together when their busy schedules aren’t keeping them apart.
“We’re just like best friends. She’s one of my closest friends in L.A.,” McRae told Et Canada’s Carlos Bustamante about Rodrigo and making a cameo in her music video. “We just chill. Hang out.”

As 2022 proved to us over and over again, horror is just about the most reliable thing at the box office right now -- maybe even more than superhero movies in some ways. It's hard to have a flop as big as "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" when budgets are generally much, much lower. But they can't all be huge winners like "Smile" or "M3GAN." To that end, Disney's 20th Century Studios released "The Boogeyman" in theaters this past weekend, and the buzzy Stephen King adaptation had a middling debut amidst a sea of heavy competition. Even so, it would be hard to call this moderate disappointment a loss in any way.
Speaking of superheroes, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" made a staggering $120.5 million in its debut, taking the lion's share of attention from moviegoers over the weekend. With "The Little Mermaid" also in its second weekend, "The Boogeyman" had to settle...

From the mind of Stephen King, 20th Century Studios and 21 Laps’ The Boogeyman was unleashed in theaters this past weekend, debuting in the #3 spot on the domestic charts.
Here in the United States, The Boogeyman managed to scare up a $12.3 million debut weekend at the box office, while the film’s current worldwide total is $20 million.
The reported production budget for this latest Stephen King horror movie was $35 million, which means it has to reach roughly $100 million to hit the point of profitability. You may recall that The Boogeyman was originally scheduled to go straight-to-streaming on Hulu, however, so Disney is likely quite happy with the film’s $20 million box office haul this past weekend.

Stephen King’s short story The Boogeyman is about a man named Lester Billings, who visits a psychiatrist after his children have been killed by the title character. Director Rob Savage’s version of The Boogeyman, which is in theatres now, goes far beyond the story King wrote – but Lester Billings is in the movie, played by David Dastmalchian (The Suicide Squad). During an interview with Collider, Dastmalchian revealed that he initially turned down the offer to play Billings because he didn’t want to go as far into the darkness as the character required.
Dastmalchian said, “I read (the script) and I said, ‘Absolutely not. No interest in portraying Lester Billings. I don’t care to go there. I’ve done too much stuff in the darkness. I need a break, and I can’t do it.’ And then (producer Dan Cohen) is many things, a gifted producer, a wonderful human being,...

Host director Rob Savage makes his mainstream Hollywood debut The Boogeyman, a loose adaptation of a Stephen King short story from the co-writers of A Quiet Place. As such, it delivers some effective scares and is elevated by a trio of terrific performances, though the story itself ultimately feels a little derivative.
Yellowjackets star Sophie Thatcher plays Sadie Harper, a teenager whose family – younger sister Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair) and therapist father Will (Chris Messina) – are still grieving the tragic loss of her mother in a recent car accident. Their lives are swiftly upended when a strange man (David Dastmalchian) seemingly commits suicide in their house, after relating a dark tale to Will about a shadow monster that killed his children.

Vivien Lyra Blair played a child version of the iconic Star Wars character Princess Leia Organa in the six episode Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, and now she has a prominent role in the Stephen King adaptation The Boogeyman, which reaches theatres tomorrow, June 2nd. You shouldn’t expect to see Blair wielding a lightsaber in the film – but during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, director Rob Savage revealed that her character did carry a lightsaber around in the script… but Star Wars owners Disney didn’t want them to put a lightsaber in the movie.
Answering a question about the moon ball that Blair’s character actually has in the movie, Savage said, “It’s a real thing that you can buy from Amazon. So we bought a few of them, cracked them open and put a light inside that we could control and dial up and down. But the interesting thing about that,...

If the title feels familiar you would not be wrong. The word “boogeyman” has been the subject of numerous movies all using the same moniker, at least ten on iMDB database before I stopped counting, but all of them dated post 1973 when the horror master Stephen King first published his 8-page short story in a magazine, followed five years later by its inclusion in one of his classic short story collections, “Night Shift”. So in one form or another this now 50 year old tale has become shorthand for lots of Hollywood concoctions that had nothing to do with it, but hey a good title is a good title.
King’s “The Boogeyman” was basically a two hander between a disturbed patient and his therapist who indeed turned out to be his boogeyman. It was actually shot as a short by some entertprising filmmakers in 2012, but clearly there was not enough...

One of the summer's biggest horror movies is on the horizon in the form of "The Boogeyman," which is adapted from the Stephen King story of the same name. It hails from director Rob Savage, who made waves a few years ago with his made-for-nothing found footage horror flick "Host" during the pandemic. Now, Savage is back taking on source material from a master of the genre, and it sounds like he did a damn good job of translating the material (read our review here). The reveal of the monster at the center of this story actually scared the s*** out of audiences in early screenings to such a strong degree that they actually had to re-edit the movie to accommodate the reaction.
The filmmaker recently spoke with Empire in anticipation of the film's theatrical release this weekend. Savage explained that the reveal of the titular Boogeyman worked like gangbusters in test screenings.
