Disney‘s feature take on its classic 1937 toon Snow White finally is hitting theaters this weekend after weathering a tormenting, blown-out-of-proportion tabloid controversy. Domestic is looking to land between a $45M-$50M opening with another $55M abroad.

The reported $270M feature production came under fire on social for the casting of Latina-Polish descent actress Rachel Zegler in the lead role. She pushed back against the criticism, in addition to the actress’ candid remarks about the original film and a slamming of Donald Trump and his supporters back in November. It’s believed that some of this sentiment is in the ether, which has pushed down on tickets sales. It also led Disney to pare down its world premiere on Saturday, which excluded mainstream press from the carpet — despite the studio putting on a full extravaganza pre-party with food, free candy, afternoon appletinis, faux gem digging and Zegler taking selfies in the crowd.

Stateside, the film is booked at 4,200 theaters with previews starting at 2 p.m. Thursday. (via Deadline)

Sony today unveiled the first trailer for I Know What You Did Last Summer, the sequel relaunching the horror franchise of the same name, which hits theaters on July 18.

For fans of the first three films, the plot here is familiar. The film sees five friends inadvertently cause a deadly car accident, covering up their involvement in a pact to keep it a secret rather than face the consequences. A year later, their past comes back to haunt them and they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: someone knows what they did last summer…and is hell-bent on revenge. As one by one the friends are stalked by a killer, they discover that this has happened before, and turn to two survivors of the legendary Southport Massacre of 1997 for help.

Original cast members Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt are back, even if it’s unclear which other prior members of this horror universe might pop up. Franchise newcomers include Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Lola Tung, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez.

Today’s trailer is the same one shown for exhibitors at CinemaCon earlier this month. Check it out: https://youtu.be/9QABNfDhSxs

Kings Row have made it to the final sixteen in the fencing championships, but they have a long way to go before they reach the finals—and Exton, where Nicholas and Seiji both have scores to settle.

Before they can think of that, however, Nicholas has to face off across the piste with Kyle, who doesn’t know Nicholas’s connection to the Coste family—and who believes Nicholas hasn’t earned his place on Kings Row’s team or as Seiji’s teammate. Can he pull off a victory and keep Kings Row in the running for championship gold?

“Rivalries and romances intensify, and Nicholas has his first real face off with his family,” said series creator C.S. Pacat. “I’m so excited for you all to read this one–get ready for the whole game to change!”

The first public look of Zach Cregger’s follow-up after Barbarian is here: Weapons. This is not the clip seen at CinemaCon, by the way, but rather pieces of it.

The voiceover as the camera swirls around a darkened kid’s bedroom here sounds like it’s from Toby Huss as he tells a concerned parent, “Mr. Graff, I can understand your passion, and I don’t mind having these conversations with you, because God forbid, if it was my child, I’d be demanding answers too.”

The set-up here — children are leaving their houses in the middle of the night — and it’s freaking parents out.

Originally set to come out over MLK weekend 2026, Warners got so excited about Weapons, they moved it to summer on Aug. 8 after excellent test scores. The notion is that we’re bound for another horror event film after Ryan Coogler’s Sinners opened to $48M this past weekend. (via Deadline)

Alan Ruck, fresh off HBO’s “Succession,” has been cast in the upcoming horror-thriller “Corporate Retreat.” He joins an ensemble that also includes Rosanna Arquette (“Pulp Fiction”) and Ashton Sanders (“Moonlight”).

Ruck portrayed Connor Roy on the Emmy-winning “Succession,” for which the show’s cast twice won the SAG Award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series. Ruck himself was nominated for a Golden Globe as well as a Primetime Emmy for his performance in “Succession.” He is also known for his roles in films like “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Speed” and “Twister” and the television series “Spin City.”

Indie producer and distributor GKIDS has boarded “100 Meters” (“Hyakuemu”), the upcoming animated feature from director Kenji Iwaisawa, as a producing partner and North American distributor.

Based on the manga by Uoto, author of “Orb: On the Movements of the Earth”, which also received a recent anime adaptation, “100 Meters” was first announced prior to its work-in-progress session at last year’s Annecy International Animation Film Festival.

Following a Sept. 19 release in Japan, GKIDS will release “100 Meters” in North American theaters this October, in original Japanese and a new English version. GKIDS — whose films have earned 13 best animated feature Oscar nominations — is the North American distributor of Oscar winner “The Boy and the Heron” and the Studio Ghibli library.

“100 Meters” follows Togashi, a naturally gifted track star. In sixth grade, he meets Komiya, a transfer student who is full of determination but lacks technique. In teaching him, Togashi gives Komiya a new purpose: to win no matter what. Years pass by, and Togashi and Komiya meet again as rivals on the track and reveal their true selves. (via Variety)
