LGBTQ character causes Saudi Arabia to ban new "Doctor Strange"

The introduction of the superhero America Chavez should be the reason why the long-awaited Marvel sequel is not allowed to be shown in the country's cinemas.


Saudi Arabia's film censorship has once again stopped a film from Marvel's universe. The Hollywood Reporter announces that "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness", which premieres in early May, will not be shown in cinemas in the country.
 
The ban will again have to do with the presence of an LGBTQ person in the film. "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" introduces the character America Chavez, played by Xochitl Gomez, who in the comic books has been confirmed to be a lesbian.
 
Even in some of Saudi Arabia's neighboring countries, it is starting to look like the audience will not get to see the long-awaited sequel. An official ban has not yet been confirmed, but it will no longer be possible to buy tickets for the film in Kuwait and Qatar.
 
Last year, the Marvel movie "Eternals" was also stopped from going to cinemas in several countries in the Middle East, partly because of its depiction of a same-sex love affair. Since then, big movies like Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story" have also been stopped in the region, due to its inclusion of a trans character, played by a non-binary actor.

Box Office USA: "Sonic 2" breaks opening record for video game adaptation

Paramount Pictures' streak in US cinemas is in full swing. The studio seems to gain momentum with each new title. "Sonic 2. Fast as lightning" won a sensational 71 million dollars for good morning. This amount is much higher than predicted before the weekend. And the best Paramount movie start since 2014 and "Transformers: Age of Extinction".

 

"Sonic 2" broke the same opening record for a video game adaptation. The previous one belonged to the first part of "Sonic" and amounted to 58 million dollars. The movie hit theaters just before the pandemic started, so its combined revenue ($ 149 million) does not reflect the franchise's true potential. The second movie should beat this result without any problems. The more so because it has fantastic ratings (A in CinemaScore).

After three days, "Sonic 2. Fast As Lightning" is Paramount's second highest-grossing title this year. It only needs $ 10 million to overcome The Scream.

A completely different mood prevails at Universal Pictures' headquarters. Michael Bay's "ambulance" was lost in theaters. Already in the forecasts no success was foretold. However, the actual result is much worse. Instead of $ 12 million, "Ambulance" won just $ 8.7 million.

Why such a bad result? Perhaps because the film is to be broadcasted just 17 days after its cinematic premiere. So the viewers have no incentive to go to the cinema, as soon as they see it comfortably at home.

However, "Ambulance" has a chance for small drops. Those viewers who decided to watch it gave it in CinemaScore A-.

"Morbius" is doing terrible. During the second weekend, the comic book show lost as much as 74% of its proceeds. So in total, it is only $ 57 million. The chance for a hundred million from American cinemas is nowhere to be seen.

On the other hand, "Everything everywhere at once" becomes one of the biggest box office hits of the A24 studio. After the distribution expanded to 1,212 theaters, revenues from a million dollars a week ago jumped to six million. In total, he has $ 8.4 million in his account.

Already on Wednesday, the film "Father Stu" about a boxer who became a priest, directed mainly to Christian audiences, will hit theaters. He starred in Mark Wahlberg and is accompanied on-screen by Mel Gibson. On Friday, the fairy-tale spectacle "Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore's Secrets" will appear. The film debuted in the world last week and after five days it has at least 58 million dollars to its credit.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon make films about Nike

Damon chases Michael Jordan, while Affleck directs, in the Oscar-winning duo's new project together.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have found their next joint project. The Hollywood Reporter reports that the duo, together with Amazon Studios, have begun work on a film about Nike's history, focusing on the company's attempts to get a deal with Michael Jordan in the mid-80s.


 
Affleck will play Nike co-founder Phil Knight, while Damon will play the central role of marketing manager Sonny Vaccaro, who struggled for a long time to make the partnership with the basketball star a reality. The plot will follow how Vaccaro is led to Jordan's parents, friends and former coaches, but the basketball player himself will not have a visible role in the film.
 
Damon and Affleck are both screenwriters and producers for the film, which still lacks an official title. Affleck will also be on the register, which means that it will be the first time he himself directs Damon in a film.
 
As a duo, Damon and Affleck have achieved the greatest success with "Good Will Hunting", for which they both starred and wrote the script, which in 1998 gave them a joint Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. The two were last seen on the big screen together this fall, in Ridley Scott's historical knight drama "The Last Duel".

First trailer for 'Thor 4' reveals Natalie Portman as new Thor

The first and long-awaited trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder is out, and it's just three months before its  cinema premiere on July 6, which is a full two days before the American premiere!

The trailer shows our title character in a search for the meaning of his life, after his role in Avengers: Endgame is over. As most of us remember, it was not the most well-trained Thor who helped defeat Thanos, but the god of thunder goes in the trailer in sharp training and looks more fit than ever.

As we also knew in advance, he has teamed up with Star-Lord and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy, just as Valkyrie is rebuilding Asgard, who suffered a sick fate in Thor: Ragnarok.

Finally, at the end of the trailer, we see a new Lady Thor in the form of Jane Foster, who as you know has been the original Thor's girlfriend in Marvel's cinematic universe.

Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Tessa Thompson and Natalie Portman all repeat their roles as Thor, Star-Lord, Valkyrie and Jane Foster.

Before Thor swings his ax (yes, the hammer belongs to Lady Thor now), however, we can experience another Marvel hero in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - the pre-sale for that movie starts in theaters on April 20th.

"Terminator 2" and several other movie classics will be shown in cinemas this spring

In addition to James Cameron's iconic action roll, cinema-goers can enjoy an uncensored version of the Swedish "Sökarna", as well as international classics such as "Ran" and "Old Boy".


In the coming months, several nice film premieres await, but why not take the opportunity to alternate the new with the old? During the spring and early summer, Filmstaden fills its program with a variety of classics, which will now be possible to relive in cinemas around the country.
 
Tomorrow, the Swedish gangster drama "Sökarna" from 1993 will be on the big screen again, this time in the form of a completely uncensored version. In May, there is an opportunity to see the Swedish 80's comedy "Leif", with the humor group Galenskaparna and After Shave in the roles.
 
Not least, "Terminator 2: Doomsday" reappears, almost 30 years after its original Swedish cinema premiere. For those who feel a little less action, however, there is the romantic comedy "Fever Pitch", and the viewer looking for non-English language titles can sit down in front of Akira Kurosawa's war drama "Ran", or Park Chan-Wook's masterful revenge thriller "Old Boy".
