New $75M Zombie Reboot Is Unstoppable Against Amazon's Action Sequel at the Global Box Office (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If 2026 has made anything clear, it may be that audiences never really had a problem with reboots so much as they had a problem with uninspired ones. This year has seen familiar brands get second and third lives with very different levels of care, and the box office has reflected those differences pretty clearly.

Amazon's New $200M Action Epic Gets Out-Powered at the Box Office by Sci-fi Action Film (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amazon has spent the last few years insisting it's serious about theatrical, and to be fair, it has occasionally backed that up. The $8.5 billion MGM purchase, the Bond stewardship, and a stated ambition to put a dozen-plus movies a year in cinemas all pointed toward a studio that wanted to be a real player. The issue is that some of Amazon MGM's biggest bets have made that pitch harder to fully buy into, and no bet looked bigger in 2026 than Masters of the Universe. The roughly $200 million He-
Robert Pattinson's New Thriller Is Blindsided by Brad Pitt's 101-Minute Action Hit at the Box Office (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Robert Pattinson and Brad Pitt have ended up on oddly parallel tracks for two stars a couple of decades apart.

Pitt has looked like the more reliable commercial draw in recent years, with F1 becoming the biggest hit of his career just last year, while Pattinson's post-Batman choices have tended to skew riskier and a little less obviously
Apple TV's Best Spy Thriller Is Dethroned by Matthew McConaughey's New 8-Part Series (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Apple TV has often operated a little differently from other streamers. While Netflix's top 10 can shift quickly as licensed movies and one-off documentaries surge and fade, Apple's rankings often look more stable, with the same in-house hits holding their places for weeks, months, or sometimes longer, with Ted Lasso clearly remaining one of the platform's most popular and enduring viewer favorites. However, a new Apple title is surprisingly climbing the streaming rankings. Brothers, the Matthew
Amazon's 140-Minute Action Epic Loses the Global Box-Office Crown to Another Major 2026 Reboot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There was a time when reboots looked like the safer bet, but 2026 has been a sweet reminder that familiarity alone does not guarantee much. Amazon MGM appears to have learned that the hard way with its long-gestating Masters of the Universe revival, a film that spent years in development across multiple studios before arriving in June with a reported $170 million budget that always looked difficult to justify.
