Thanksgiving weekend is typically an ideal moment for premiering a film, as people seek entertainment when their families are visiting or they have time off work. However, the period following Thanksgiving weekend can pose a challenge, as movies tend to see a significant decrease in viewership during these three days. Even popular and long-running films like “Frozen” can experience a 53% drop during this post-Thanksgiving weekend frame. This is because everyone tends to flock to the cinema over Thanksgiving weekend, but then gets sidetracked with other holiday activities afterwards.

Time is running short for Xbox Game Pass subscribers who wish to play a Tomb Raider game without charge, as it will be removed from the service on December 15.

I’ve been eagerly anticipating the latest revelations about Shoto Todoroki’s pro hero journey in My Hero Academia, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! The recent manga volume has shown us a glimpse into Shoto’s life post-time skip, hinting that there’s more on his mind than just being a hero. As a fan, I was thrilled to see Kohei Horikoshi return with an additional 30 pages of fresh content, adding depth and detail to the future hero world. It’s been a rollercoaster ride since it wrapped up earlier this Summer in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, but this concluding volume offers a much more satisfying resolution.

At The Game Awards 2024, CD Projekt Red unveiled The Witcher 4 as one of the highlights. However, the announcement has received mixed reactions, with some fans expressing dissatisfaction over the game’s protagonist, Ciri, taking over from Geralt of Rivia. Some are displeased with her character transformation, while others find her appearance in the game different from how she looked in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Additionally, there are concerns about potential plot inconsistencies and lore breaks due to Ciri being a Witcher herself.

The upcoming Hollywood remake of the 2012 action hit “The Raid: Redemption,” directed by Gareth Evans, has faced challenges in production. However, two exceptional martial arts movies have emerged that make a direct remake less necessary. In an interview with Kristian Harloff, actor Frank Grillo, who starred in both “Werewolves” and “Creature Commandos,” discussed the difficulties of bringing the Hollywood version of “The Raid” to life, a project he was previously connected to. Grillo also expressed his new thoughts that the original two “Raid” films are best left untouched, stating that if something is extremely hard to replicate, it might be suggesting something significant.

In the coming season this Fall, Part 3 of the anime adaptation of “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War” is approaching its conclusion. The latest episode featured one of the most exhilarating battles yet, as Nanao Ise revealed her concealed Zanpakuto after all these years. The battle scenes in “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 – The Struggle” have been intense, with the remaining Soul Reapers going up against Yhwach’s most powerful Sternritter. Each fight has surpassed expectations, and the clash between Shunsui Kyoraku and Lillie Barro stands out as particularly thrilling due to Barro’s transformation into a powerful new form.
