Furthermore, Chambers notes that his film, titled “Neverland Nightmare, deviates significantly from the two previous Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey movies. Unlike those films which depict slasher killers in animal masks, this new project leans more towards psychology, drawing comparisons with Scott Derrickson’s indie horror success, “The Black Phone“.

After achieving great critical acclaim (with a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes) and a profitable box office performance ($31.3 million globally, making it Baker’s highest-grossing film), there has been a change of events in recent weeks. The once assured dominance of Anora seems less certain now. Madison has garnered numerous critics’ awards, and it is expected to receive several Oscar nominations. However, what was unexpected was its loss at the Golden Globe Awards, despite being a strong contender in the Musical or Comedy category where it was nominated, and having a total of five nominations.

Despite being seven years since the first Den of Thieves release, the weekend was dominated by O’Shea Jackson Jr.’s and Butler’s reunion in the sequel. The sequel’s earnings of $15.5 million were slightly higher than the original’s initial box office take of $15.2 million in 2018. Both films in the heist series received “B+” CinemaScores, but Den of Thieves 2 outshone its predecessor on Rotten Tomatoes with a 58% Tomatometer rating compared to the original’s 41%. In other words, while both films performed similarly at the box office, critics seemed to enjoy the sequel more.
In 2012, Statham starred in the movie “Safe,” portraying a grief-filled former cage fighter and ex-government assassin seeking vengeance against the mobster who murdered his wife. In this thriller, Statham demonstrated his action hero prowess, but the film received mixed reviews due to its predictable storyline and tired tropes. Despite these criticisms, fans of the charismatic actor might enjoy it more than its 59% Rotten Tomatoes score suggests.
