The highest grossing science fiction film without being a saga

by

It makes sense that the name of Christopher Nolan comes up when we talk about one of the few films that approach the one billion collection and that are not part of a saga, because in this case Nolan himself is the franchise. We approach his films looking for the author’s brand he guarantees, and that is another way to franchise his works. In any case, this’Origin‘(What can you see in Netflix, Movistar Plus+ and Max) It is a box office milestone. It is not, yes, the highest grossing film in history that does not belong to a franchise, because that honor must be attributed before her to ‘Titanic’, ‘Barbie‘(which should be discussed whether part of a franchise or not),’ Bohemian Rhapsody ‘U’Oppenheimer‘, of Nolan himself. But ‘origin’ is The only one of them that can be considered to belong to the science fiction genre in its purest form. In it we will meet an expert in “steal”, during sleep, secrets of the subconscious of others. Because of this occupation he has had to give up a normal life: but he has a plan for this to change. Through a process known as “inception”, it will implement an idea in someone’s subconscious instead of subtracting it. The plan is complicated when within its labyrinthine plan someone appears who is able to predict all its movements. ‘Origin’ is one of Nolan’s most notorious films, among other things because it is not part of a previous work, as with the much more popular trilogy of the dark gentleman. Your way of visualizing dreams, Although not entirely original, it has been very influential And it is practically impossible to portray in the cinema the dream world without paying the thematic and visual (and sound, very important in the film) that Nolan settled. A classic moden that is worth reviewing … and not only for its extraordinary box office.

Russia’s last attack on Ukraine seems taken from a film

by

Yesterday a meeting in Saudi Arabia was held in which Ukraine and the United States reached A high fire agreement 30 days. Washington reactive help and you can use the reserve of minerals. Now the pressure revolves to Moscow, where Putin will have to say something to the proposal. Meanwhile, the war continues. Ukraine launched its greatest drone attack on Moscow. For their part, the Russians carried out the most surprising mission so far in war. Unpublished mission. The story took place March 8. Around 100 Russian soldiers of the Private Military Company Veterans PMC, the Special Unit Akhmat and the 30th Motorized Rocileros Regiment, carried out an unprecedented operation in the Kursk region, infiltrating the territory controlled by Ukraine through A disused gas pipeline. The incursion was aimed at the city of Sudzha, a key strategic point taken by the Ukrainian forces. 16 kilometers. The soldiers, equipped with breathing systems due to the lack of air, spent four days crawling along a conduit of approximately 16 kilometers long and only 1.5 meters wide. In fact, in the last hours they have become viral lAs disseminated images In Russian military social networks showing the infiltrates within the space. The action that took many of the Russian soldiers was so surprising. It has even been reported that some of them died from suffocation before reaching their destination. The attack. Apparently, the gas pipeline is probably part of the URENGOY-POMARY-UZHOROD SYSTEMthe same that was historically Gas transport key Russian to Europe, but that was out of operation at the end of 2024. This route allowed Russians to avoid detection by Ukrainian surveillance drones and surprise the defending forces near Sudzha. Although the attack was not entirely unexpected for the Ukrainians, the Russian forces managed to emerge and take positions near Sudzha, where the fighting has intensified. For its part, the General Staff of Ukraine He published images of the confrontation between their troops and the Russian assailants. Division in the narrative. Exist contradictory reports On the outcome of the incursion: while Pro-Kremlin media insisted that the Russian troops advanced in Sudzha from multiple fronts and had captured several nearby villages, including CHERKASSKOYE PORECHNOYE and KOSITSA, the pro-war analyists in Russia expressed harsh criticism to the operation. Precarious. War experts Vladimir Romanov and Anastasia Kashevarova described the incursion as poorly planned, pointing out the lack of basic supplies and the absence of ventilation in the gas pipeline, which would have caused the death of some soldiers by intoxication with methane. On the other hand, the Russian military Yegor Guzenko argued that the filtration of images of the incursion before the end of the mission alerted Ukraine and frustrated the possibility of tactical success. Meanwhile, Ukraine also confirmed the incursion In a statement describing it as a “sabotage and assault operation.” According to the Ukrainian General Staff, Russian troops They were detected on timewhich allowed kyiv’s forces to respond with artillery attacks and missiles before the infiltrates could consolidate their position. The importance of the enclave. It was known that Russia has been increasing your offensive In the Kursk region, advancing from southern Southzha. Its objective seems to be cut the key road that connects Sumy, Yunakivka and Sudzha, A vital artery for supply of the Ukrainian troops in Kursk. Sudzha, a key city in the gas traffic corridor, was captured by Ukraine In August 2024 In a surprise incursion that represented the greatest Ukrainian offensive in Russian territory since World War II. During this operation, kyiv managed to occupy 1,000 square kilometers and take hundreds of Russian prisoners, all with the aim of using the territory as a negotiation currency in future peace conversations and force Russia to divert troops from eastern Ukraine. What happens? That months later, the Ukrainian forces in Kursk face a strong counteroffensive of more than 50,000 Russian troopsincluding the North Korean soldiers deployed next to the Kremlin units. Open Maps of the battlefield suggest that tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are at risk of being surrounded, since Russia has intensified its attacks To recover the region. Ukraine has a problem. The truth is that the pressure on the Ukrainian forces in Kursk is increasing. Russian troops have been continuously attacking the entire front line in The so -called “Health Zone”which has hindered the Ukrainian defense. Dmitry Medvedev, former president of Russia, recently said that the Ukrainian forces in Kursk are “almost surrounded” and that their expulsion from the territory is imminent. The challenge of maintaining this position is of great draft. With the front reducing and constant attacks on the flanks, the viability of the Ukrainian operation in Kursk is questioned. To this is added the impact of the temporary cessation of the United States military support (now It seems that restored), which has limited Ukraine access to intelligence and satellite data, crucial for defense. Strategy or negotiation. It is the big doubt. More and more Ukrainian analysts suggest that Kursk’s replication It could be inevitable to avoid a total siege and preserve resources for other fronts. However, maintaining a presence in Russian territory has an important strategic and political value For kyiv, especially within the framework of the negotiations that have taken place with the United States in Arabia. Possibly, kyiv presented a peace proposal that included the cessation of drones and missile attacks, as well as the suspension of military operations in the Black Sea. Be that as it may, one thing seems clear: the Peliculero Russian attack through the pipeline is a sample of the high value that Moscow gives to the recovery of Sudzha and its surroundings. As losses increase and the situation becomes more unsustainable, the great unknown is how much more time can resist in this region before being forced to rethink its strategy. If the “American” helps they will have won time. Image | SERGEY KOLYASNIKOV In Xataka | In the middle of the Cold War, France designed a nuclear rearme plan for Europe.

‘Mickey 17’ is the new dystopian science fiction film that leads the box office. The problem is not enough

by

There are times in which to crown the box office with a number 1 means nothing: ‘Mickey 17’, the new Bong Joon Ho movie, director of ‘Parasites‘ and ‘Snowpiercer‘, has been number 1 on American lists. Even so, the high cost of this ecologist dystopia of satirical dyes make it a questionable investment for Warner and, above all, the finding that in Hollywood they still do not curdle the ambitious projects that are not sequelae or reboots. The figures. ‘Mickey 17’ He has pocketed Only in the United States 19.1 million dollars, which are added 25.4 in 66 international territories. Not bad for a real -extravagant movie and that has dethroned films such as Marvel’s last captain America (also with good collection, but with a trajectory that has had to turn on Some other red light in Disney). However, its cost of 118 million, to which to add about 80 in marketing and distribution, leaves the approximately 300 million that it should raise so that Warner does not consider it a failure. A quick comparison. If the question is whether these amounts are expected, we can compare them with those of your immediate rival at the box office: ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ collected 88 million at the box office In its first weekend, and although it started from a budget much higher than the one to aim (200 million), to exceed 50 million in the United States would have been closer to a satisfactory figure for Warner. Doubtful direction. To this initial collection, which The first analyzes estimate as insufficient Before the challenge of reaching the 300 million commented, it is added that the film has not aroused a unanimous opinion between criticism and public: Its mere 78%-72% In ‘Rotten Tomatoes’ it is not especially high (especially considering that its director has signed films that have previously dazzled to public and critical). Among the obstacles of the film to improve its collection in successive weeks is the extravagant argument (Pattinson gives life to a worker who in the future is cloned again and again every time he dies in the course of the dangerous mission of helping to colonize an icy world), and also his tone of farce, acid and very little commercial, which is detected in all the films of the Korean director, but that is ever unleashed here. Warner: decisive year. Without successes guaranteed as new sequelae of its star franchises (‘Dune‘ and ‘Godzilla‘) In perspective, Warner has a year full of very expensive productions but are not a guaranteed success. For example, ‘Alto Knights’, Robert De Niro’s return to a certain “prestigious” cinema; ‘Sinners’, one blaxoploitation vampire of the director of ‘Black Panther’; ‘A Minecraft movie’, whose first advances have a chilling appearance; and the start of James Gunn DC Universewhich looks very good, but that does not have the best precedents. Only sequelae. The prick of ‘Mickey 17’ is one more symptom of the latest trends of a Hollywood that seems to have turned its back on the original high -budget products: by sujuesto that there is always space for a ‘Anoraor any other bombing indie. But The 2024 figures made it clear: sequels and REBOOTS They mark the step at the box office: no Top 10 movie was completely original. The success of ‘Barbie’ (which is not that it was an absolutely isolated product of a franchise) and ‘Oppenheimer’ the previous year It was little more than a mirage. Without franchise there is no return. There is an extra detail that should underline so that it does not go unnoticed: the budget of 120 million dollars is high, but it is triggered to levels that rival the Marvel herself if we add the very high expenses in marketing. This means that on many occasions, the films bet in a lost depth, knowing that only with a box office can not be recovered, but trusting that it is achieved with derived products: books, video games, attractions in parks, spin-offs … and above all, that money serves as something already invested as part of the future marketing of sequelae. A fish that bite the tail and is condemning the original blockbusters such as ‘Mickey 17’. Header | Warner In Xataka | Warner has a problem with the new Harry Potter series: JK Rowling’s opinions

You have a few days to see this magnificent science fiction film by the director of ‘Ex Machina’ that will disappear from Netflix

by

They were the early days of Netflix’s mass implantation, when it was still far from being the aesthetic and thematic roller in which it has ended up becoming. The platform premiered in 2018 ‘Annihilation‘, a film that had gone through a nightmare struggles to see the light due to its daring proposal, which made cinemas only in a few countries. Finally, Netflix acquired rights and premiered it as their own world. Now, after being one of the exclusive jewels of its catalog, the platform announces that it will withdraw it on March 11. Behind her is Alex Garland, an essential name for modern science fiction who has signed as a scriptwriter or director as daring and personal as’Ex machina‘,’Men‘, ‘Devs‘,’Civil War‘or the script of’ dredd ‘or ’28 days later’. However, with ‘annihilation’ the project was choked: it was the adaptation of the start of the trilogy of books ‘Southern Reach’ by Jeff Vandermeer, an unclassifiable science fiction work very complicated to translate into a conventional narrative argument. ‘Aniquilación’ starts when the husband of a biologist returns from a secret mission in an area cordoned off by the army, zone X, and of which nothing is known. To find out what has happened, he joins a group of five scientific women to discover which intentions has the alien force that controls it. Others have entered the area before her, but no one has ever returned. Zone X is the great finding of this film that, even needing more footage to explain its final stretch, and simplifying too much the fascinating proposal of the book, Throw a series of suggestive images of the fauna and flora of the place that are among the great recent findings of the genre. Excellently interpreted and with a rambling production design, it should be reviewed before Netflix disappears, because who knows how and when we will enter the X zone again.

‘Anora’ is the big favorite to take the Oscar for the best film. The problem is that it has the voting system against

by

‘Anora’ starts in the pools as a great favorite to take the main Oscar of the night, the best film. However, The Oscars They are much more than a mere vote that chooses the film of the year: they come into play not only the millionaire advertising campaigns that are talked about so much (which also), but models of mathematical probability and the same voting system, which do not always favor the favorite of the simple majority of academics. The pretty girl. ‘Anora‘It is Sean Baker’s film, an old acquaintance of fans of the independent cinema zone. Some of its previous proposals, such as ‘The Florida Project’ and ‘Red Rocket’they raised praise among the specialized press, but with this story of a young Brooklyn prostitute who lives his own history Cinderella when he knows and marries the son of a Russian oligarch who intends to end romance, has revolutionized the awards season. The film won the gold palm in Cannes and Dos Bafta, was nominated for five Gold balloons And now she is nominated for six Oscar, including best film, director, actress and original script. ‘Anora’, the independent tradition. ‘Anora ‘continues Oscar’s tradition to reward small and modest movies, looking for a quality patina indie that Hollywood industry is excited since the time of The infamous Miramaxand that has made films like ‘in recent yearsAll at once everywhere‘(2022),’Coda‘(2021),’Nomadland‘(2020) or’Parasites‘(2019). The winner of 2018, ‘Green Book’, was only indie in aesthetic terms, but still, is a streak of victories outside the industry that only broke ‘Oppenheimer‘ last year. The numbers speak. In addition to the recent trend of the Oscars, dyed of a certain condescension, to reward independent films, we have the purest mathematics: The Hollywood Reporter used the probability laws To make the calculation and ‘Anora’ was well above its competitors: 52% possibilities, overwhelming the second in the list, ‘Conclave‘, which was left with 15.2%. The reason? The ‘Anora’ awards streak in the Critics Choice, Producers Guild and director’s Guild. Less colorful than the Golden Globes, but according to statistics, infallible when opening via for the Oscar (let’s not forget that on many occasions the voters coincide). Percentages against competitors. These statistics in favor of ‘Anora’ are increased when those same numbers play against their competitors. For example, only seven films have won an Oscar for the best film without having the direction nomination, as happens to ‘Conclave’. ‘The Brutalist‘It is one of the favorites, but never a movie without the SAG prize or An Eddie (The US editors awards) has won the main Oscar. ‘Emilia Pérez’ had everything in favor with the Golden Globes, but Reality has passed over. Already ‘A Complete Unknown‘It has not gone wrong with other awards, but in any other gala the best film has been taken, something that greatly reduces its possibilities. But if everything is in his favor … Ya: Why are the real probabilities of ‘anara’ are smaller than, for example, those of ‘conclave’? The voting system for best film is called “Preferred System”, and with it the voters are asked to classify the nominated films from the greatest to less preference. If a film gets more than 50% of the votes (something very unlikely), automatically wins the prize. But if not, the following process is carried out: the film with less votes redistributes its ballots among the second most voted film of the members who had placed it in number one. It is done with all, until a film exceeds 50%. The terrible consensus. The idea with this system is to reward the favorite film by consensus, one that most of the members of the academy would consider their favorite. The result is that the films that go to the extremes are less likely: ‘Anara’ will be the favorite of many, but because of their theme and indies modes, it will also be among the least favorite of many others. This system rewards, in effect, the consensus, which is another way of saying that it rewards the middle ground. In that sense, it is ‘conclave’ that will benefit: a very little annoying movie, which many will have liked, but few have liked very little. The danger of controversy. Something similar to ‘Anora’ will happen to films such as ‘Emilia Pérez’, one of the favorites before the successive bombings of Karla Sofía Gascón. EITHER ‘WICKED‘, which belongs to a genre with as many defenders as detractors. Or, of course, ‘Dune 2‘ either ‘The substance‘, which only to belong to the categories of horror and science fiction will receive very low scores of the less daring faction of academics. In that sense, and except for exceptions (it is clear that ‘anora’ has possibilities, despite everything) the Oscars almost always reward the low risk. Nothing new under the sun.

This Chinese fantasy film is destroying records in his country and has already advanced Marvel in more than one milestone

by

‘Ne zha 2’ is sweeping. Maybe you have not been able to talk about this animated Chinese production (the first installment was titled ‘Nezha: the rebirth of a god’ and You can see it in Netflix), but it reached Chinese cinemas taking advantage of The celebration of the Chinese New Year, the most profitable and coveted day for the premieresand in 5 days he kneaded 435 million dollars. To get an idea of ​​how much that can be, ‘Avengers: Endgame’ added something less, 427 million, in its first five days in US cinemas. If you continue on this path (And you are following: In its first week, it has reached 671 million), it has another even more spectacular milestone to exceed: become the first feature film that exceeds 1,000 million dollars of collection in a single country. Again, Disney shadows him with ‘Star Wars: the awakening of force’, which raised 936 million in the United States. It is the one that shows the greatest brand so far. Finally, ‘Ne zha 2’ has another record to overcome, and everything indicates that he will: be the first Chinese film to exceed one billion collection. ‘The battle of Lake Changjin‘He stayed at the doors, with 913 million at the box office. Finally, last milestone: ‘Ne zha 2 is about to advance to the first’ Nezha ‘, which became the first animated film that exceeded 700 million collection in a single territory. Many brands and many milestones, as can be seen, for a film that continues the argument of the first part and that remains starring Nezha, a protective deity that appears in the Buddhist, confucian and Taoist folklore. The argument of these animated films are based on a classic Chinese novel of the 16th century, which in turn has inspired other films in the country such as ‘New Gods: Nezha Reborn’. In Xataka | ‘Vaiana’ is already the greatest success in streaming history, and there is a clear responsible: the way of watching children’s films

The revenge film that revolutionized the international cinema scene returns to theaters for its anniversary

by

Of course, Park Chan-wook’s masterpieceOld Boy‘ was not the first Korean film to attract the attention of viewers outside Asia. That same year we had had the fabulous rural thriller ‘Memories of Murder’, by the country’s other star director, Bong Joon Ho. And Park Chan-wook himself had shown the first film of his revenge trilogy, ‘Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance’, at international festivals a year earlier. But ‘Old Boy’ connected in a special way with Western viewers by raising a feeling that has been captured in millions of films of all origins, revengebut with the doses of extravagance and visual daring that we have always expected in Korean cinema since then. ‘Old Boy’ became almost a canonical film of the country, at least for foreign viewers and festivals, since there the commercial cinema that the majority of the population consumes, just like in Europe or the United States, is nothing like it. to this experiment artie but forceful. The convoluted plot of ‘Old Boy’ begins when a Korean businessman is kidnapped and confined for years in a cell where there is only a television. He doesn’t know why he is there and little by little we will witness his slow descent into madness. When he comes out, he will begin a meticulous process of revenge for those who have destroyed his life, violent and with a good amount of extreme revelations. We all remember from ‘Old Boy’ its magnificent scene shot in sequence, of a hallway full of enemies that the protagonist dispatches quickly and with the help of a hammer. It has been imitated in series seemingly as far removed from this film as ‘Daredevil’, demonstrating the extent to which the reach and influence of ‘Old Boy’ make it a unique icon of Korean cinema. Now, on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary, we can once again enjoy this film on the big screen, as it is re-released in theaters.

‘Emilia Pérez’ breaks record for a film not spoken in English with 13 Oscar nominations

by

Shortly after the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles that hit the heart of the film industry, a beleaguered Hollywood lined up this Thursday behind Netflix’s narco-musical about trans identity “Emilia Pérez” in the Oscar nominations. Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez,” a Spanish-language film filmed in France, dominated with 13 nominations, including best picture and best actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, making her the first openly trans actress nominated for an Oscar. The film also earned nominations for direction, original screenplay, two of its songs, and for Zoe Saldaña. Zoe Saldaña poses at the “Emilia Perez” session at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in France on Sunday, May 19, 2024. (Vianney Le Caer/Invision/AP) Netflix, despite its leading role in Hollywood, has never won the best picture award. Many of its top contenders have racked up a number of nominations, including “Mank,” “The Irishman” and “Roma,” but have gone home with only a handful of trophies. “Emilia Pérez,” however, may be her best opportunity yet. It became the most nominated non-English language film in history, surpassing Alfonso Cuarón’s “Roma,” which earned 10 nominations. Only three films — “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land” — have earned more nominations in Academy Awards history. Another non-English language film that featured prominently was “Ainda Estou Aqui” (“I’m Still Here”). The Brazilian film by Walter Salles about the family of a politician who disappeared during the military dictatorship was nominated for best film, international feature film and had a mention for its protagonist Fernanda Torres as best actress. The musical, “Wicked,” the hit adaptation of the Broadway musical, earned almost the same number of nominations. The lavish production inspired by Jon M. Chu’s “The Wizard of Oz” earned 10 nominations, including best picture and acting for its stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. “The Brutalist,” Brady Corbet’s VistaVision-shot postwar epic, also picked up an impressive 10 nominations, including best picture, best director and nods for actor Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones. The nominees for best film are the Brazilian film “Ainda Estou Aqui”; “Anora”; “The Brutalist”; “A Complete Unknown”; “Conclave” (“Conclave”); “Dune: Part Two”; “Emilia Pérez”; “Nickel Boys”; “The Substance” and “Wicked”. Alessandro Nivola and Adrien Brody in a scene from “The Brutalist”. (TIFF) In a very open Oscar race, the six most nominated films — “Emilia Pérez,” “Wicked,” “The Brutalist,” “Anora” (with six nominations) “Conclave” (with eight nominations) and “A Complete Unknown” ” (eight nominations) — met expectations. The biggest surprises were “Ainda Estou Aqui” and “Nickel Boys” by RaMell Ross, a drama filmed from the perspective of its protagonists that had been overlooked by many guilds in previous votes. Those nominees likely displaced some best picture prospects in “Sing Sing,” “September 5” and “A Real Pain,” though those films earned nominations in other categories. One of the boldest films of 2024, “The Apprentice” surprisingly scored a pair of nominations, for Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong. The film dramatizes President Donald Trump’s formative years in New York real estate under the tutelage of attorney Roy Cohn. Trump has called those involved with the film “human scum.” In the best actor category, where Stan and Brody were nominated, the other nominees were Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”), Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”) and Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”). Notably absent was Daniel Craig, acclaimed for his very un-James Bond performance in “Queer.” In this image provided by Mubi, Demi Moore in a scene from “The Substance.” (Mubi via AP) Best actress, a category that Demi Moore seemed to have secured for her impressive performance in “The Substance,” also had nominations for Moore, Gascón, Torres, Erivo and “Anora” star Mikey Madison. What is perhaps the most competitive category of the year left out Marianne Jean-Baptiste (“Hard Truths”), Pamela Anderson (“The Last Showgirl”), Nicole Kidman (“Babygirl”) and Angelina Jolie (“Maria”). In the directing category, “The Substance” filmmaker Coralie Fargeat made it into the otherwise all-male group of Sean Baker (“Anora”), Corbet, Audiard and James Mangold (“A Complete Unknown”). Most expected Edward Berger to be nominated for directing the papal thriller “Conclave.” “This has certainly been a difficult time for Los Angeles, where many members of our film community work and live. But the past few weeks have proven what we already know to be true: our film industry and Los Angeles are resilient, and for nearly a century, the Oscars have brought us together to celebrate our global film community,” said Academy President Janet Yang. , before the nominees were announced. Nominations were originally planned for January 17. But after wildfires began burning through Pacific Palisades, Altadena and other areas around Los Angeles on Jan. 7, leaving historic levels of destruction, the academy extended its voting window and twice postponed announcing the elections. nominations.
