Weekend Box Office - Marvel's "Ant-Man" the tiny, yet mighty superhero was number one for the second week in a row with $24.8 million, "Pixels" the nostalgia inspired invasion movie starring Adam Sandler was a close number two with $24 million, and "Minions" the funny and lovable characters from the "Despicable Me" movies came in at number three with $22.1 million.

                                                                                

"Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation" opens this Friday. Based on what we've seen in the various trailers they have definitely upped the ante on the level of action in this installment. How is that even possible, you might ask, by having the IMF face a rogue version of themselves called The Syndicate.

                                                                                  


"SPECTRE" the latest installment in the "James Bond 007" franchise released a new trailer recently. The trailer reveals 007 still in pursuit of the organization he holds responsible for his troubles which began in "Casino Royale".

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay  Part 2" the final installment in "The Hunger Games" saga will open in theaters this coming November. Katniss is now accepts her role as The Mockingjay and is leading the charge to take the fight to the Capitol and President Snow.

                                                                            

"Justice League: Gods and Monsters" available in stores today on Blu-ray/DVD is a very dark alternate universe version of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. This original story from the mind of Artist/Director/Producer Bruce Timm marks his return to characters his animated series popularized.

Weekend Box Office - "Ant- Man" starring Paul Rudd as the tiny, yet mighty hero debuted at number one with $58 million, "Minions" the animated prequel to the "Despicable Me" franchise took the number two spot with $50.2 million, and debuting in the number three spot was "Trainwreck" starring comedian Amy Schumer which opened with $30.2 million.

                                                                              

"Fantastic Four" the upcoming big budget re-launch of the franchise featuring Marvel's iconic superhero first family debuts on August 7. Directed by Josh Trank who brought us the movie "Chronicle". This movie stars Miles Teller as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm/The Thing, Kate Mara as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Toby Kebbell as Victor Domashev/Doctor Doom. The latest trailer reveals more of what we can expect from this latest incarnation.

                                                                                
                                                               

"Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation" will open in theaters on July 31. This is the showdown or maybe startup of the IMF vs. The Syndicate, an organization who is in almost every way their equals with very opposite agendas.

                                                                                

"Hitman: Agent 47" is the upcoming movie based on the popular video game franchise. The latest trailer reveals more than the previous trailers and is very action packed and even more jaw dropping. Looks quite promising!

                                                                                    

"Justice League: Gods and Monsters" is already available for digital download and will be released on DVD/Blu-ray next week, Tuesday. The return of producer/director/artist Bruce Timm to an animated Justice League movie was big enough news by itself, but an all-new, all-different alternate universe version of the iconic characters Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman created a frenzy. This recent clip is an indication of what the fuss is all about.

                                                                                 

"Vixen" an animated off-shoot of "Arrow" and "Flash" premiere on August 25 on the CW. This animated series will feature actors from both shows providing the voices of the animated versions of their characters and actress Megalyn Echikunwoke will provide the voice of Mari McCabe also know as Vixen. I wonder if this presents the possibility of a live action appearance for the character on one or both of the shows at a later date. That would be amazing!

"Minions" featuring those funny and lovable henchmen from "Despicable Me" and Despicable Me 2" opens this Friday. They searched long and hard for a great villain to be their leader before they finally found Gru. This is the story of that search and whose henchmen they were previously.

Prepare to be surprised and amazed. Expect to be amused and entertained.

                                                                                 

"Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation" reunites the a handpicked team from previous movies plus a new femme fatale. This movie screams action and we can also count on Tom Cruise performing a few of his own hair raising stunts.

                                                                              

"LEGO DC Super Heroes: Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom" is a long title. However, the title tells you everything you need to know. LEGO versions of the Justice League facing off against LEGO versions of The Legion of Doom for the fate of the world, or something like that.
