Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Prepare for an earlier return to Oz. “Wicked,” Universal’s big-screen adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, is landing in theaters on Nov. 27, 2024 — a month ahead of schedule. The movie was initially scheduled to open on Dec. 25, but the studio felt it would be better positioned around Thanksgiving compared to Christmas. Though the release calendar will change over the next two years, there’s currently only a Disney Animation placeholder on the docket during Thanksgiving of 2024. By comparison, Christmastime is stacked with “Avatar 3” (a sequel to the third-highest grossing movie in history), as well as “Sonic the Hedgehog 3.”
Universal is moving the release of Wicked Part 1 to Wednesday, November 27, 2024 from its original date of December 25, 2024.
Everything Everywhere All at Once stormed the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday night, but viewers have been left shocked after finding out what the directors' last film was.
Angelique Jackson Jamie Lee Curtis has picked up her first Oscar, winning the best supporting actress trophy for her performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” “I know it looks like I’m standing up here by myself but I am not, I am hundreds of people. I’m hundreds of people. Where are the Daniels?,” she asked in her emotional acceptance speech, continuing to list of all the people who supported her. “Halloween” director John Carpenter was one of the first to congratulate the longtime horror star, tweeting “Congratulations Jamie Lee! You are the bomb!”“To all the people who have supported the genre movies that I’ve made for these years, the thousands and hundreds of thousands of people, we just won an Oscar together!,” she said.
Disney+ will launch its upcoming series American Born Chinese on May 24, hoping that the Everything Everywhere All at Once magic of Michelle Yeoh, Key Huy Quan, and Stephanie Hsu boosts the streamer.

Oscars 2023, it’s been reported that Everything Everywhere All At Once is now the world’s most-awarded movie ever.Everything Everywhere All At Once is nominated in 11 categories including Best Picture and Best Director at the 95th Academy Awards, which take place this weekend (March 12).But ahead of that, research done by IGN suggests that Everything Everywhere All At Once is already the world’s most-awarded movie ever, a title previously thought to be held by Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King.The absurdist, multiversal comedy-drama has racked up 158 accolades from major critic organisations and award bodies, compared to Return Of The King which achieved 101.According to IGN, they also looked at nominations but only included “award-giving bodies that recognised both films,” with only 45 out of 152 including both films in their selections.“Narrowing down their totals to just these 45 organisations, Everything Everywhere All At Once still has Return Of The King beat when it comes to awards (138 to 127) and nominations (295 to 189).”Everything Everywhere All At Once was released last April. In a review, NME wrote: “By weaving together so much action, drama, comedy, sci-fi and general invention, directing duo Daniels repeatedly set high bars for their movie to clear.”Most of the time they do so easily – a wild joke will turn into a wilder running gag, or the actors will deliver a touching scene while voicing a pair of inanimate objects.
Brent Lang Executive Editor Viola Davis, Michelle Yeoh and Jenna Ortega may have topped the box office and won rave reviews in the likes of “The Woman King,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “Scream,” but Hollywood still tended to bank on movies with male leads. A new survey of the top 100 grossing domestic releases found that women only accounted for 33% of movie protagonists. That represented an infinitesimal two percentage point increase from 2021, according to the report by the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University. And don’t expect actresses to get as many lines as their male counterparts. Females accounted for 37% of all speaking characters in 2022, up 3 percentage points from 34% in 2021. Men had 63% of speaking roles, and 0.1% of speaking characters were transgender. One speaking character was non-binary.
