ROBOCOP RETURNS---Neill Blomkamp will direct this R-rated movie which is a direct sequel to the original 1987 movie. The script was written by Justin Rhodes and is based on a sequel script written by the 1987 movie writers, Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner.
GLASS---photo released from the M. Night Shyamalan sequel to UNBREAKABLE and SPLIT which stars Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson and James McAvoy.
THE WALKING DEAD---new photo released for Season 9 and new showrunner Angela Kang commented on Season 9, "There’s a fun Western vibe that has emerged. We are going into a period where a lot of the things that we’ve seen in previous seasons have broken down, so they’ve got these horses and carriages that are being drawn around instead of cars. Things are lit with oil lamps. People are using different kinds of weaponry. There’s a real grittiness to it that I think will be fun and fresh for the viewers.”
GAME OF THRONES---Maisie Williams, after filming her final scenes for the series, posted a photo of blood-covered tennis shoes and the hashtag which included, "#lastwomanstanding" which led to speculation that Arya Stark survives.
ANTLERS---Keri Russell is in talks to star in the Guillermo del Toro horror movie based on the short story "A Quiet Boy". Russell would play “a teacher who takes an interest in a mysterious and withdrawn student. Only too late does she discover that the boy is harboring a deadly secret that is key to their town’s survival.” Scott Cooper is the director.
GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS---Vera Farmiga spoke about her character, Dr. Emma Russell, “She has figured out a way to communicate with the creatures and potentially control them using their bioacoustics on a sonar level. So she is like a DJ for the monsters.”
The sequel features Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah.
Y: THE LAST MAN---Barry Keoghan, Diane Lane and Imogen Poots star in the FX series pilot based on the comic book.
PROPHET---movie underway based on the comic book about a genetically-enhanced World War II soldier who is cryogenically frozen and awakens in the future.
17 BRIDGES---Chadwick Boseman (BLACK PANTHER) stars in this movie about a disgraced NYPD detective who seeks redemption by pursuing a cop killer.
THAI CAVE RESCUE---Jon M. Chu (NOW YOU SEE ME 2) is the director of this movie based on the Thai soccer team cave rescue. Another studio is also developing a movie based on the rescue.
THE WEST WING---cast members including Joshua Malina and Bradley Whitford had dinner with creator Aaron Sorkin. Afterwards, Malina posted, "Talking reboot".

Godzilla's production budget was $160 million and Skull Island's production budget was $185 million plus another $100 million (?) each for promotional and advertising.
Studios generally take in around 50-55 percent of U.S. box office money. Studios take in about 40 percent of the revenue from overseas release.
Probably means both broke even at best. Though I will admit I'm shocked how much Skull Island made in the foreign market, I had no idea.
