Despite being a classic, the original Anaconda film struggled to launch a successful series. We’ve ended up with seven movies, but they’re all quite different from each other. Luckily, that variety makes them fairly easy to compare. Let’s begin by looking at the three weakest installments.
As a long-time Xbox fan, I remember how important certain games were for the consoles themselves. Like, Halo: Combat Evolved wasn’t just a great game, it really helped launch the original Xbox! Then a few years later, Dead or Alive 4 did the same thing for the 360 – it was huge when it came out. Looking back after twenty years, it’s amazing to see just how successful that game was, how much it influenced fighting games, and how it ended up being a real high point for the original Team Ninja crew before things changed for them.
Streaming services are definitely impacting movie theater ticket sales. However, 2026 has a lot of exciting new movies coming out, and it could be a record-breaking year for the box office. So, which film will earn the most money? Let’s take a look.

Last year’s blockbuster, Despicable Me 4, continued its success by becoming a popular choice on Netflix after it was added in February.

This animated comedy is the sixth installment in the Despicable Me series and features Steve Carell reprising his role as Gru, a former supervillain turned secret agent, who must relocate his family and Minions when his old enemy, Maxime Le Mal, seeks revenge.
The movie A House of Dynamite centers around an unexplained missile attack on the United States, and the subsequent investigation to determine who was responsible and how to react. The film deliberately ends without revealing the President’s final decision, a choice director James Cameron strongly defends. He explained to The Hollywood Reporter that the ambiguous ending is essential, similar to how the story The Lady or the Tiger? leaves the reader uncertain of the outcome.
From the very beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios has brought iconic and powerful villains from the comics to life on screen. Characters like Thanos, Killmonger, and Loki have become well-known, but 2025 proved to be a particularly important year for MCU villains. We saw long-awaited villains finally appear, some getting a fresh start after previous attempts, and others surprising audiences with unexpected introductions. These new threats could impact the MCU for years to come.
The complete trailer for Doomsday likely won’t be released until Super Bowl Sunday, roughly five weeks from now, according to Trailer Track.

Now, a new rumor suggests a significant change: a major character may need to be recast for the upcoming season.
