Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and a number of other critically acclaimed directors have directed at least one movie that critics tore apart.

One of the biggest threats facing the movie business is a smaller supply of theatrical releases, one executive said.

"The Turning" was the last movie to receive an "F" grade from CinemaScore, which surveys audiences on a movie's opening night.

The Warner Bros. movies that performed the best at the box office, like "Dune" and "Godzilla vs. Kong," also performed well on HBO Max.

Adult dramas like "West Side Story" and "The Last Duel" struggled this year as superhero movies dominated the box office.

"Spider-Man: No Way Home" received an A+ grade from audiences, joining three other MCU movies that have scored that high.

The most in-demand digital originals of the year reflect the importance of genre IP, from Marvel to "The Witcher."

"Spider-Man: No Way Home" earned $260 million domestically over the weekend, the third biggest opening of all time.

Cinemark CEO Mark Zoradi gave his take on the future of the theatrical industry, shorter windows, and which movie will bring older moviegoers back.

The list is composed of big-budget franchise tentpoles, which have also driven the box office this year.
