Disney has made some late Friday additions to its 2023 release schedule, specifically around Marvel Studios. The changes aren’t drastic or significant, but there is a little switcheroo.

The Marvels and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania have swapped release dates. Both Disney/Marvel films are moving along very nicely, we hear, but the Ant-Man sequel is further along in the production process, and it was a simple decision by the studio to swap the release dates.

HOUSTON -- The experiences of panicked concertgoers who couldn’t breathe and had no clear path to escape a massive crowd surge at last year’s deadly Astroworld music festival in Houston are featured in a documentary set for release Friday.But lawyers for Live Nation, which is being sued for its role as the festival’s promoter, say they’re concerned that publicity from the documentary, “Concert Crush: The Travis Scott Festival Tragedy,” could “taint the jury pool.” A gag order has been issued in the case, but Live Nation’s lawyers say an attorney who filed lawsuits related to the tragedy also co-produced the documentary.Charlie Minn, the film’s director, said he believes he has made a balanced and fair film that tries to show the public what happened.“My job is to make the most truthful, honest, sincere documentary from the victim’s point of view ...

There’s a huge Wicked movie announcement!

Here’s something that hasn’t been done with a musical before: Universal will release its feature take on the smash Broadway musical Wicked in two parts on December 25, 2024 and December 25, 2025.
