Princess Catherine and Prince William have a big decision to make!
29.02.2024 - 00:41 / deadline.com
Moving away from the crowded June 7 weekend which now has Sony’s Bad Boys 4 and Lionsgate’s The Crow, New Line‘s Ishana Night Shyamalan horror movie The Watchers is going a week later on Father’s Day weekend, June 14 which is where Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 resides.
It’s OK, an adult film and a Pixar movie can completely co-exist on the same weekend.
The feature directorial debut of M. Night Shyamalan’s daughter sparked a bidding war, resulting in New Line snapping it up. Pic is based on the 2021 gothic horror novel by A.M. Shine and follows Mina (Dakota Fanning), a 28-year-old artist who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland. When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers that are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night.
Pic also stars Georgina Campbell (Barbarian), Oliver Finnegan (Creeped Out) and Olwen Fouere (The Northman). M. Night Shyamalan produces with Ashwin Rajan and Nimitt Mankad. The executive producers are Jo Homewood and Stephen Dembitzer.
Meanwhile, that first weekend of June is a hot frame. It use to be years ago that major studios would sidestep the post-Memorial Day frame. However, the first weekend of June hit a record opening high last year with Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse seeing a 3-day debut of $120.7M.
Other big openers during the first weekend of June include 2017’s Wonder Woman ($103.2M) and 2004’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban ($93.6M).
Disney/Pixar’s The Incredibles 2 at $182.6M from 2018 continues to own the biggest domestic box office opening over Father’s Day weekend.

In the realm of religious horror, one filled with tales of divine terror, Immaculate emerges as the latest contender. Yet despite its promising setup within the shadowy confines of an Italian nunnery and a cast led by Sydney Sweeney, Álvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli and Simona Tabasco, the film struggles to carve out a niche for itself. Directed by Michael Mohan and written by Andrew Lobel, the movie treads familiar ground, recycling familiar elements without delivering the novel twists, deeper insights or genuine horror in a genre that thrives on the exploration of faith’s darker dimensions.

The tenth episode of “The Traitors” revealed that while the group was inching closer to identifying Phaedra Parks as a traitor — the last original one — they decided to turn against Peter Weber and banish him instead. Luckily for them, they did not make the same mistake again and sent her home at the end of the episode. However, when Weber, possibly the best strategic player of the season, was banished, it’s hard to believe that he wouldn’t be screaming with both frustration and joy when learning that Parks has been a traitor all along.
