While Fire and Ash didn’t reach expectations, it still became the third-highest-grossing movie of 2025, after Zootopia 2 and Ne Zha 2. However, the future of the Avatar series could be shifting. Producer Rae Sanchini has confirmed plans for the fourth and fifth films, but there’s talk of making them with smaller budgets and shorter runtimes. Although understandable from a business standpoint, this approach risks losing what makes the Avatar films unique and captivating.

Between March 30th and April 5th, both the Madagascar and Despicable Me movie series had films in the top 10 most popular movies on Netflix in the U.S. The first Madagascar movie was third, and Minions: The Rise of Gru was fifth. Worldwide, Madagascar ranked eighth, and Despicable Me 4 was ninth.

Released in 2006, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon quickly became a beloved film among horror enthusiasts. This unique movie plays with the slasher genre, presenting it as a documentary following a killer and his victims, and referencing classic horror films. Now, fans are excited to hear that a sequel, Behind The Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon, is officially happening! The original director, Scott Glosserman, writer David J. Stieve, and stars Nathan Baesel, Angela Goethals, and Robert Englund are all returning. While a release date hasn’t been announced, the filmmakers plan to use Kickstarter to fund the project and bring the sequel to life.

The new series, Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, has been well-received, earning an 82% score from critics (based on 33 reviews) and a 75% audience score (from over 50 ratings).

Malcolm in the Middle appears to be one of the revivals that is successfully capturing the spirit of the original.

Scheduled for release on May 8, 2026, Mortal Kombat II is a much bigger and more ambitious film than the first. The story focuses on Emperor Shao Kahn (played by Martyn Ford) and his attempt to take over Earthrealm. This forces the heroes to fight through the entire tournament while dealing with dangers from all sides. To reflect this increased scope, the sequel features a wider range of villains from the Mortal Kombat games, bringing many of the most recognizable characters to the big screen.

Even though Pokémon started as a game you played alone, it’s always emphasized connecting with others. This is especially true in newer games like Pokémon Go, where you often need to team up with large groups to win challenging Raid battles. The series has always balanced solo play with social interaction, and that balance seems to have found its peak in Pokémon Champions.
