Movie theaters across North America are investing $2.7 billion in major upgrades and innovations, including more heated reclining seats, expanded food and beverage services, and premium large formats.
“From the world’s largest circuits to independent theaters on Main Streets across this great nation, theater owners have shown how much they believe in the future of the big screen, and 2026’s strong box office proves that commitment is paying off,” said president and CEO of Cinema United. “When a theater reinvests in itself, everyone wins — moviegoers get a better experience, studios get a stronger platform, local businesses benefit, and contractors get the work that comes with it. Cinema United members are reaffirming that there is nothing like seeing a movie on a big screen. Every investment in a movie theater is an investment in the community it serves, which is why moviegoing will remain essential for generations to come.”

I fucking love people who become more themselves with age. Stranger taste. Clearer boundaries. Louder laugh. Less interest in impressing random people. Watching somebody slowly stop auditioning for the world is fucking beautiful.
We need to make filmmaking more affordable.
That’s exactly why non-profits such as the Millennium Film Workshop are so important.
Memberships start at just $80/year for unlimited access to cameras, workshops, and community screenings.
Because everyone should have access to the magic of filmmaking.
I was sad to find out earlier today that Kevin Smith, one of the ticket takers at AMC Lincoln Square, passed away. He always greeted everyone with a smile and, if we were about to see a movie he liked, mentioned we were in for a treat. He will be missed.
my new album XXXXX is out friday july 31st
holy though it seldom shows / you dance through the fire / eyes closed / breath in the flames with a smile / bathed in light
when you awaken from the nightmare you are reborn / only death knows / how real your love is
and to those who doubted your purity / you show compassion with no fear / the end is just the beginning / so stretch those wings wide, bitch / ascend / no end
eres sagrada aunque no lo puedan ver / bailando entre las llamas / sonriendo, respiras el fuego / bañada en luz
y cuando despiertas de la pesadilla / solo la muerte sabe / lo real que es tu amor
y a quienes dudaron de tu pureza / les muestras compasión, sin miedo / el fin es solo el comienzo / asi q abre bien esas alas, perra / asciende / sin fin
tune into the livestream thursday 23rd july at 21.30 CEST

“You, Me & Tuscany” producer Will Packer is responding to a viral X conversation sparked by filmmaker Nina Lee (@NinaSerafina) about what the film’s box office could signal for the future of original, Black-led rom-coms:
“It matters for the Nina Lee’s of the world and for audiences that want to see films like this get made,” Packer tells Variety. “Hollywood watches and then they react. Hollywood will react to the audiences more so than audiences realize; they have the power to dictate what’s made in Hollywood. You vote with your dollars.”
Universal’s “You, Me & Tuscany,” one of the few Black-led rom-coms from a major studio to hit theaters in recent years, releases this weekend.
“If the dollars make sense, then you’ll see more of it and Hollywood will change and adjust,” Packer explains. “So, I am trying to do my part to be successful in a language that Hollywood understands — which is not really the language of social justice, it’s really the language of economics.”
