New Stephen King Movie’s Box Office Falls Short of Another 2025 Adaptation (Despite Better Reviews)

Over its opening weekend, *The Long Walk* made $11.5 million in the US, landing it at number four in the box office rankings. While a solid start, it didn’t quite reach the $14 million debut of *The Monkey*, which premiered in February. This is a bit unexpected, as critics generally liked *The Long Walk* more. Both films have positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes – *The Monkey* with a 77% rating, and *The Long Walk* also being ‘Certified Fresh’.

Demon Slayer Shows One of Its Biggest Villains’ Origins (And It’s Heartbreaking)

The new movie, *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle*, kicks off a series of major battles, starting with a showdown between Tanjiro Kamado, Giyu Tomioka, and the powerful demon Akaza (Upper Rank Three). The fight culminates in a surprising and deeply emotional reveal about Akaza’s past – a backstory that many fans will find even more heartbreaking than previous flashbacks in the series. Be warned: Spoilers ahead!

Every Upcoming Pixar Movie, Ranked by Our Excitement (& Toy Story’s Billions Can’t Win This One)

As a huge Pixar fan, I’ve been keeping a close eye on their upcoming films. It’s exciting, but also a little nerve-wracking – you always hope the next one will be amazing, but sometimes they miss the mark, like with *The Good Dinosaur* or *Cars 2*. So, I’ve put together my own ranking of the next five Pixar movies, listing them from the ones I’m most hyped about to the ones that feel a little less promising.

5 Most Over-Powered Villains the Avengers Still Beat (So Much for Thanos Being Inevitable)

For an Avenger to win a fight, they need to be mentally prepared. Entering a battle distracted, careless, or overly confident usually leads to trouble. However, sometimes the warnings about a dangerous enemy were exaggerated. While a villain might *seem* incredibly powerful, the Avengers’ teamwork and the villains’ own mistakes often made the fight much easier than expected. Here’s a look at some of the Avengers’ most unlikely victories – battles they probably shouldn’t have won, but somehow did.

4 Iron Man Armors That Would Have Changed the MCU (Including One They’ll Never Use)

As a big Iron Man fan, it’s amazing how many suits Tony Stark created in the comics that we *didn’t* see in the movies! I really think a few of them could have drastically changed things for Tony and the entire MCU. While I’m hopeful we might see some of those armors again, especially if a new actor takes on the role after *Avengers: Secret Wars* and the MCU resets, there’s one suit in particular that I just don’t think will ever make it to the screen.

The Conjuring Franchise Has a Major Continuity Hole (& I Just Can’t Get Over It)

Ed and Lorraine Warren are driven to risk their lives because they want their daughter, Judy, to have a normal, fear-free childhood. While *The Conjuring* films and related movies subject Judy to terrifying experiences, the character’s life isn’t easy even outside the films. In fact, the way the franchise unfolds creates a confusing and difficult-to-ignore inconsistency in Judy’s story.
