☆ Strong First Weekend for ‘Killers,’ but Taylor Swift Was Still No. 1
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-22 | by ( Nicole Sperling | More About Nicole Sperling | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” opened this weekend in over 3,600 theaters to an estimated $23 million in the United States and Canada. “Killers” marks the largest theatrical release for Apple Studios, which will return to the box office at Thanksgiving with the Ridley Scott epic “Napoleon” and again in February with the spy caper “Argylle.”(Its strong showing didn’t get it bragging rights for this weekend’s box office. 1 spot for the second week in a row went to “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” which cost $15 million. It earned an estimated $31 million for a total of $129.8 million — a boon for AMC Theatres Distribution’s first release.) Mr. Scorsese filmed the movie in Oklahoma and cast a number of Osage in the film.

More was riding on “Killers of the Flower Moon,” a historical crime drama about a string of murders against the Osage nation in the early 1920s. “Killer of the Flower Moon” also marks the best wide-release debut for a film from a streaming company. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research, said of the “Killers of the Flower Moon” launch. As dissimilar as “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” are, they’re alike in their extended run times. “Killers of the Flower Moon" also reeled in more young moviegoers than one might have expected.

☆ How the Osage Nation helped Martin Scorsese make ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ more authentic
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-21 | by ( Harmeet Kaur | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

Before production of “Killers of the Flower Moon” began, the Osage Nation expressed their concerns and signaled that they wanted to be involved in bringing their history to the big screen. Now that they’ve seen “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Gray and other Osages say the film is all the better for the collaboration. Former Osage Nation Chief Jim Gray has a personal connection to the story depicted in "Killers of the Flower Moon." Osage Nation leaders and consultants who worked on the film attend the New York premiere of "Killers of the Flower Moon" on September 27. A lot of little things.”“Killers of the Flower Moon” might have looked different had an Osage filmmaker been at the helm.

☆ 'Killers of the Flower Moon' review: Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro team up on a movie that wants to be epic but just feels long
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-19 | by ( Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

CNN —There’s a difference between “long” and “epic,” although in movie terms the two frequently get confused. Martin Scorsese delivers the former but not the latter with “Killers of the Flower Moon,” his second consecutive three-and-a-half-hour movie derived from a true story and underwritten by a prestige-hungry streaming service. Notably, “Killers of the Flower Moon” will receive a wide big-screen launch that includes playing on hundreds of Imax screens. Either way, Scorsese has served up a movie that also plunges into a dark history and comes away with less bang for its bucks. “Killers of the Flower Moon” premieres October 20 in US theaters and will later play on Apple TV+.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Burt Young, the Oscar-nominated actor who played Paulie, the rough-hewn, mumbling-and-grumbling best friend, corner-man and brother-in-law to Sylvester Stallone in the “Rocky” franchise, has died. Young had roles in acclaimed films and television shows including “Chinatown,” “Once Upon a Time in America" and “The Sopranos.”But he was always best known for playing Paulie Pennino in six “Rocky” movies. The short, paunchy, balding Young was the sort of actor who always seemed to play middle-aged no matter his age. It won three, including best picture. In 1985's “Rocky IV” he reprograms a robot Rocky gives him into a sexy-voiced servant who dotes on him.

In 1993, her days of on-the-ground protest behind her — she’d long stopped handing out flyers at rallies — Prada and Bertelli created Milano Prada Arte, which later became the Fondazione Prada. Styled by Suzanne Koller FOR THE PAST few years, Miuccia Prada hasn’t had to do quite as much all by herself. © TriStar/Everett Collection Bening and Warren Beatty in “Bugsy.” Everett Collection Bening in “American Beauty” (1999).

Harrison Ford has been donning the fedora and cracking the whip of the daring tomb-raider Indiana Jones for more than 40 years. The series' latest installment, "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," leans on myths from ancient Greece about a device that can supposedly turn back the hands of time. Indiana Jones suddenly looked generations younger — perfect for the movie's opening sequence, set during World War II. Founded in 1975 by celebrated "Star Wars" creator Geroge Lucas, ILM — a division of Lucasfilm, which also produces "Indiana Jones" — is at the forefront of this new Hollywood frontier. One of the team's biggest achievements has been speeding up the timeline by which filmmakers can implement these tools, Bredow said.

Gambon began his acting on the stage in the early 1960s and later moved into TV and film.

Every spring, the Tribeca Festival returns to Lower Manhattan with a bulky mixed bag of creative programming. Past attendees of the festival might recall Robert De Niro, one of its founders, rapping, “I’ve got a story to tell,” at the start of a bouncy, AT&T-sponsored Tribeca trailer that preceded screenings for half a dozen years. The industry is in crisis, and as the guilds sound alarm bells, it will be interesting to see how Tribeca amplifies their chime. A top U.S. film festival, Tribeca has long served as a kind of industry nexus, platforming big-studio movies beside indies. The festival has also proven a conduit for filmmakers to go from newcomer to big deal.
