Disney has spent a decade remaking its animated classics. We put every film through the data — box office, budgets, critic scores, audience scores, and ROI. The numbers tell a story the studio probably doesn't want you to see.

We're halfway through summer and your streaming queue is either overflowing or collecting dust. I've been keeping up with everything so you don't have to — here's what survived, what peaked, and what quietly became the best thing on TV.

In 2015, Disney released a live-action Cinderella and quietly launched the most ambitious remake experiment in film history. Ten years and a dozen films later, we're still watching them do it — and the results are more complicated than you think.

Catherine Laga'aia steps into the biggest Disney live-action debut since Halle Bailey's Little Mermaid, Dwayne Johnson returns as Maui, and this is just the warmup — Nolan, Evil Dead, and Spider-Man are all coming before August.

Spielberg brought aliens to IMAX, Pixar asked if toys still matter, and A24 killed Robin Hood. June was the month I remembered why I built this database.

The Legally Blonde prequel hit Prime Video on July 1 and I watched all of it before the fireworks started. Plus five more picks for your long weekend — whether you've got three hours or three days.

The DCU's second film sent its lead to space with a dog and a teenager instead of giving audiences another Metropolis slugfest. James Gunn just made the most confident creative bet in superhero cinema this year.

This week brings Illumination's Minions & Monsters to the July 4th corridor, Angel Studios bets on Young Washington, and the holdover lineup — Supergirl, Jackass 5, Toy Story 5 — is still pulling crowds. Plus: July's upcoming slate might be the strongest of the entire summer.

After a long absence, all 10 seasons of Stargate SG-1 are back on Netflix. Here is what this means for the franchise's momentum ahead of the Amazon revival.

Announced over four years ago with a stunning cinematic trailer, Star Wars Eclipse was supposed to be the franchise's bold leap into the High Republic era. According to a new report from Insider Gaming, the game may be years away from completion — if it ever ships at all.

Three consecutive weekends. Three potential hundred-million-dollar openings. June 2026 just delivered the most concentrated box office battle in years — here's what the data reveals about who won, who got hurt, and what it means for the rest of the summer.

We dug into the spameri.cz database to find every Czech and Czechoslovak film we have indexed. Three Oscar wins, one of cinema's greatest directorial exports, and an average rating that consistently beats Hollywood averages. Here's what the numbers reveal about a century of Czech filmmaking.

June dropped an avalanche of new seasons. The Vampire Lestat, Vox Machina S4, Sweet Magnolias S5, Grantchester's final season, and more — I watched them all so you don't have to. Here are the verdicts.

Maul: Shadow Lord premieres today on Disney+, and the reviews are in. Critics are calling it the most visually stunning Star Wars animation ever made — but not everyone agrees it sticks the landing.

It's not a superhero sequel, a nostalgia reboot, or a Disney cash grab. The most overhyped movie of 2026 is a $19 million opening weekend from an Oscar-winning director — and we all saw it coming.

Pixar had the perfect ending. Toy Story 4 wrapped everything up with a bow so clean it made grown adults sob in parking lots. So why are we here again? Because Disney smelled money, Pixar found a theme worth chasing, and somehow — against all odds — there might be a reason this movie exists.

Two massive theatrical premieres and a Netflix drop that's about to take over every timeline. The week of June 22 doesn't mess around — here's everything hitting screens and what deserves your time.

Toy Story 5 asks whether tablets have made toys obsolete, A24 reimagines Robin Hood as a dark thriller with Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer, and Hayley Kiyoko brings her bestselling queer romance to theaters. Three films, three completely different vibes, one great week.

Meryl Streep proved she can still command a room, A24 turned a creepypasta into a real horror movie, and Star Wars went back to theaters. May was stacked.

Rain, laziness, or just a really good couch — whatever's keeping you inside, I've matched every mood to the perfect streaming pick. New releases and comfort classics, all in one guide.

In 1987, a dying studio spent $22 million making a He-Man movie nobody asked for. It became a cult classic. Now Amazon has spent $200 million on a reboot with Jared Leto under the skull mask. Here's what 39 years changed — and what it didn't.

Steven Spielberg returns to alien sci-fi for the first time in 21 years with Disclosure Day, John Williams comes out of retirement at 94 to score it, and Emily Blunt faces extraterrestrials on live TV. Plus: two series finales and a romance novel adaptation on streaming.

April 5th. The date Zefram Cochrane broke the warp barrier and changed humanity forever. On the 60th anniversary of the franchise that imagined it all, T'Nara Vex checks in on the state of Star Trek — from comics to streaming charts to a puppet episode nobody saw coming.

Every January, the prediction industry publishes its forecasts for the year ahead. Five months and billions of dollars later, the data tells a very different story. Here's how the 2026 box office predictions actually held up — and what the gaps reveal about the state of the industry.

Summer means time. Stop wasting it on six-episode limited series that leave you empty — these are the long-haul shows that will carry you from June through August.

A stacked cast, a proven director, and Amazon's billions. We've seen this exact pitch before — and it almost never works. Here's why He-Man might be the summer's biggest gamble.

May gave us Mario's record-breaking opening and Star Wars back in theaters. Now June arrives with He-Man, the Wayans family reunion, and a vampire rock star. Here's everything hitting screens the first week of June 2026.

Star Trek: The Original Series has claimed the number one spot on Apple's PVOD streaming charts in April 2026, six decades after Captain Kirk first sat in that chair. With seven Trek shows simultaneously charting and no new series in production, fans are boldly going... back to the beginning.
