The soft box-office opening for “Toy Story 4” follows a string of underperforming sequels including “Dark Phoenix” and “Men in Black: International.”

The new ‘Godzilla’ underperformed, opening with half the $93 million debut of the 2014 predecessor. Disney’s live-action ‘Aladdin’ fell to second.

Bong Joon-ho’s raucous social satire “Parasite,” about a family of hustlers, won Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or, a first for a Korean film.

Marvel’s superhero epic ‘Avengers: Endgame’ has obliterated everything that came before it, earning $350 million domestically, $1.2 billion globally.

Larry Cohen, the maverick B-movie director of cult horror films “It’s Alive” and “God Told Me To,” has died in Los Angeles, surrounded by loved ones.

Horror hit “Us,” Jordan Peele’s follow-up to “Get Out” starring Lupita Nyong’o, cost just $20 million to make, meaning it’s already a huge hit.

“Captain Marvel,” Marvel’s first female-fronted solo superhero movie, launched with $153 million, performing on the high end of expectations.

Iffy reviews hampered ‘Glass,’ the finale in M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Unbreakable’ trilogy, but it still ranks as 2019’s first hit at the box office.
