Will this finally turn things around for the DC Extended Universe? Watch the first official trailer below: Justice League  will be in theaters this November in 3D.

According to the press statement release by ABSCBN, Angel Locsin will no longer play the titular hero. Read the official statement below:

It's two straight weeks of strong box office ( Logan  and Kong ) and this week's no different with the debut of Disney's Beauty and the Beast (2017) . The tale as old as time starring Emma Watson in the titular role opened to a magical $5.9 million in the country. This is the fourth biggest opening in the country, according to Disney. The opening also beats the total numbers of The Jungle Book, Cinderella and Alice in the Wonderland  in the country. It wouldn't be surprising if it holds next week and $ 10 million is very likely for this film. Thriller Get Out opened decently with $80K across 50 screens.

After last week's strong debut for Logan ( est. PHP 100M), the good times in the box office continues to roll. This week, its Kong: Skull Island who delivered strong numbers on its opening.

For the Kid's Choice Awards , WB decided to place a new trailer for Wonder Woman  which will be in theaters this June. The trailer previews the origin of the world's most famous woman superhero and more! Watch the video below:

Star Cinema has found its new cash cow love team. My Ex and Whys starring Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano has now reached PHP 341 million worldwide.

Here are my quick reviews for these movie/tv show along with my grade: 1. My Ex and Whys  (2016, Romance) Quick Review: My Ex and Whys  moves to a not so Star Cinema route but ends with a very Star Cinema route. If it wasn't for the performances from Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil and a strong direction by Director Cathy Garcia-Molina, it would have been a generic Wattpad movie. Grade: 3/5 2. Riverdale (S01E06, "Chapter Six: Faster, Pussycats! Kill! Kill!") Quick Review: Archie finally gets a better storyline this week. The adventures of Betty and Jughead remains the most interesting part. Veronica continues her Veronica attitude. It's interesting that Riverdale  presents the stories of different characters in the community rather than focusing on the mystery of Jason's death alone. Grade: 4/5

It was an easy weekend for My Ex and Whys  as its moved past $5 million (where $4 million came locally). Meanwhile, holdovers fell hard as Rings  opened decently in the box office. Rings took the first place among Hollywood titles with PHP 15.42 million ($307 K) in 158 theaters. It's in line with the openings of Ouija: Origin of Evil ($300 K) . With stiff competition coming, it's likely that it ends around $500 K. Erotic drama Fifty Shades Darker  added PHP 8.81 million ($175 K) this week. In three weeks, it has already locked PHP 168.5 million ($3.3 million) which can likely match its predecessor's $ 3.5 million gross by the end of its run. Keanu Reeves' John Wick Chapter 2  made PHP 4.23 million this week with a total of PHP 84 million in its three weeks in theaters. Sources:  Box Office Mojo
