“Godzilla vs. Kong” proved that buzzy new movies can sell tickets, even if they’re already available to watch at home.
After months of new releases bringing in lackluster box office ticket sales, “Godzilla vs. Kong” racked up $48.5 million in its first five days in theaters. It was the best showing, by a landslide, for a movie since the pandemic struck.
More from Variety
At the same time, “Godzilla vs. Kong” was offered on HBO Max, the streaming service owned by WarnerMedia, for no extra charge to subscribers. A monthly subscription to HBO Max costs $15, which is roughly the same price as a single movie ticket in major cities.

Under the stars: BVC takes in double bill at Elmira drive-in
Ah, the drive-in movie theater. Let me tell you about Tompkins Countyâs drive-in history.
The Lakes Car Drive-In was located at 1645 Trumansburg Road. Originally called The Lakes Car Theatre, it opened on July 2, 1957 with âThat Certain Feeling,â starring Bob Hope, and Charlton Heston in âThree Violent People.â It began screening more adult movies on June 14, 1972, when it was renamed The Lakes Car Drive-In. I remember seeing family fare when I was a kid, particularly âWilly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory;â the nightmare boat sequence scared the dog out of me, sitting in the back seat of the family Rambler. I also recall the first time I heard cussing in a movie, when my dad took my brother Anthony and me to see âPattonâ at the drive-in when my mom was out of town. It closed in 1987 when the screen was struck by lightning.Â

Spring Break 2021: Kids movies streaming or in theaters now

Spring Break 2021 is here! This time last year, the pandemic shutdowns had just begun. Kids left school after the first or second week in March not knowing when they would return, but surely none of us thought it would be a year later.
A year ago this week my kids’ school shut down for Covid “at least through Spring Break.” I guess they were technically right, I just didn’t expect it to be Spring Break 2021
In the last 12 months, parents everywhere––even celeb parents––have juggled working, teaching virtual school, and parenting full-time simultaneously. We’ve torn through all our tricks to keep the kids busy. The craft closet has been raided, the kids have learned to ride two-wheel bikes, and the playdoh is all dried out.

Exactly 51 weeks ago, the U.S. box office had its worst weekend in 20 years, with Pixar’s then-new
Onward barely making over $10 million and Vin Diesel’s
Bloodshot (remember that one?) making just over $9 million. This was an important weekend for the country, as it was right around the point when the general public realized that the coronavirus was a real threat (something the federal government didn’t get around to until, oh, halfway through January 2021 for some reason), and whether the people going to see
Onward knew this ahead of time or not, lockdowns for businesses like movie theaters were about to become part of the larger plan to slow the spread of COVID-19. But here we are, almost exactly a year later, and everything is better! Ha ha, no. Not really.

There were plenty of empty seats and no popcorn as the Bay Area went back to the movies over the weekend.
Some of the seats were left empty on purpose, because allowing extra space is the new normal. Some seats were empty because people weren’t inclined to pay $19 for a ticket to “Tom and Jerry.”
Apryl Walker was among a handful of midday customers Saturday at the giant Metreon movie complex and shopping center at Fourth and Mission streets that opened its doors to moviegoers for the first time in months, thanks to San Francisco returning to the red tier on the pandemic safety rainbow.

The mega-successful Chinese franchise about a mismatched detective duo tackling baffling crimes in foreign destinations continues with a wildly uneven caper set in Tokyo. With performances, plotting and visuals amped up to 11 as per usual, this hyperactive combination of Sherlock Holmes-type sleuthing and Three Stooges-style slapstick comedy offers plenty of zany fun, but the central murder-mystery contains so many convoluted diversions, digressions and detours it makes the whole enterprise play like a long stream-of-consciousness sketch with a glaringly hollow core.

The Rescuers (1977)
The Rescuers is frequently cited as one of Disney’s darkest animated movies. At the very least, it has the darkest color palette. The last film to be produced with the thick, scratchy-line style introduced in
One Hundred And One Dalmatians (the result of a cost-saving process that involved photocopying pencil drawings directly on the animation cells), it is notably short on the sort of bucolic, exotic bedtime-story scenery that has long been a Disney staple. The tones are muted and rainy; the larger part of the movie takes place in a swamp.
