Only seven other films in history have topped $175 million in their debuts and only five have hit the $200 million mark. According to Deadline, Solo A Star Wars Story, though plagued with behind the scenes drama, will now be getting a very prestigious premiere as the second ever star wars spin-off is now set to premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival on May 15th, ten days before its domestic release. The first trailer has been released for The First Purge, the fourth movie in the Purge franchise that sees franchise creator James DeMonaco stepping away from directing, and Gerard McMurray (Burning Sands) taking over. Steven Spielberg snapped up the rights to Stephen King and Peter Straub‘s novel The Talisman before the book even hit shelves. Yet after 35 years, a film has failed to materialize. Now, Spielberg says he might finally be ready to bring The Talisman movie to the screen. Nothing can kill the Saw franchise. Bloody Disgusting reports that Jigsaw writers Pete Goldfinger and Josh Stolberg are working on yet another Saw sequel. Michael and Peter Spierig, who directed Jigsaw, will not be returning, which means this latest Saw sequel will need someone new at the helm.
