With ‘Dragon Ball’ #1 at 21 Million, Anime Is a Box-Office Hero
“Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” (Crunchyroll) overperformed expectations at 21 million while “Beast” (Universal) at 11.6 million arrived slightly above its anticipated results.

The Lost City First-Look: Sandra Bullock And Channing Tatum Square Off Against Daniel Radcliffe
If you’re like me, you’ve probably missed seeing Channing Tatum’s chiseled mug on the big screen for the past four years, outside of his funny but too-brief cameo in “Free Guy.” It’s why I’m pleased to see the “Magic Mike” star has several films on the way, starting with his directorial debut on next year’s…
