Before Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Vs Maidaan Box Office Clash: 5 Huge Eid Battles That Did Not Happen (Photo Credit – IMDb)
Akshay Kumar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is releasing on Eid 2024, and while the film was enjoying a solo release date till a week back, Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan has dropped in to occupy the same release date. The two superstars will now lock horns at the box office for the 9th time in their career.
However, while the two films are ready to clash at Eid, which might affect each other, the festival release date is the most sought-after date in Bollywood. Generally, it has been Salman Khan who has always ruled the Eid release date almost every year.
Even in 2023, Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was released on Eid. However, this year, while Bhaijaan is taking a sabbatical, Eid was a major opportunity to tap on.

Havana Rose Liu recently had her breakthrough role playing the lead in the Hulu thriller No Exit (read our review Here) – which was an okay movie, but underwhelming in comparison to the awesome Taylor Adams novel it was based on. Now Deadline reports that Liu is returning to the thriller realm with a role in in director Chris Weitz’s horror film They Listen. Liu joins a cast that includes the previously announced Katherine Waterston (Alien: Covenant), John Cho (Searching), Lukita Maxwell (Shrinking), and Riki Lindhome (Wednesday). Details on her characters, and in fact on every character in the movie, are being kept under wraps.
They Listen is coming to us from Sony, Blumhouse, and Depth of Field. Weitz is producing the film with Jason Blum and Andrew Miano. Bea Sequeira, Dan Balgoyen, Britta Rowings, and Paul Davis serve as executive producers. Filming was already underway in Los Angeles back in December.

Exclusive: Salvage Hunters producer Curve Media is gearing up for new investment after appointing specialist advisory firm GothamStreet to explore its strategic options, we’ve learned. It’s understood the UK indie is expecting to double its revenues this year and wants to capitalize on its position in the factual market.
Dane Phillips of London-based advisory GothamStreet is overseeing the process and Deadline understands that he has spoken to several potential partners, as Curve considers a range of options. These could result in a strategic partnership, private equity investment, bank debt raise or a company sale, though the latter option isn’t thought to be favored.
The process is in the early stages but whatever path is agreed, Curve wants to ensure it can capitalize on its position in the burgeoning UK unscripted market, and that continued growth will be at the forefront of any agreement.

Hulu has given a series greenlight to an adaptation of Carola Lovering’s 2018 novel “Tell Me Lies,” the streamer said Tuesday.
“Nine Perfect Strangers” star Grace Van Patten will lead the series, which follows a “tumultuous but intoxicating relationship as it unfolds over the course of eight years.” Van Patten will play Lucy Albright, a “sheltered but well-adjusted girl from an affluent Long Island town” who meets a boy at college and falls “into an addictive entanglement that will permanently alter not only their lives, but the lives of everyone around them.”
The project was first put into development at Hulu a year ago under the streamer’s first-look deal with “American Horror Story” star Emma Roberts. Roberts executive produces the series alongside Karah Preiss, co-founder of her Belletrist production company.

Spoilert Alert: This story contains details from the Season 3 finale of NBC’s Manifest.
Tonight, NBC’s Manifest came to the end of its third season, going out with a bang, as an original cast member met her end.
When two-part finale “Mayday” kicks off, one-time NYPD detective Michaela Stone (Melissa Roxburgh) is experiencing her “most powerful” calling ever. In it, she finds herself back on Flight 828, and sees that the Montego airliner is oozing with blood. She intuits, from this calling, that an 828er is going to get hurt, and sets out to stop that from happening.
Around the same time, Ben (Josh Dallas) and Grace Stone’s (Athena Karkanis) son Cal sneaks out of the house and heads to Project Eureka headquarters, in hopes of getting the Nsa to stop experimenting on the 828 tailfin. “It can’t be here anymore,” the boy says. “Otherwise, something bad will happen.

Above: Carlson Young’s The Blazing World Midnight screenings are my personal haven at festivals. Whenever main competitions start to feel a bit weary, I gladly deflect to genre-driven sessions for a sharper edge and a quickened pulse. At the same time, the competitions have also made some welcome room for genre (consider Parasite or Bacurau), which serves as a reminder that horror has always been well suited not only to bold narrative leaps and visual experimentation, but also to a social and cultural critique. This proclivity continues in the recent electrifying horror movies by Jordan Peele (Get Out and Us), and by indie women directors. I’m thinking particularly of Amy Seimetz’s stellar I Die Tomorrow, which was originally scheduled to premiere at SXSW, in 2020, and Rose Glass’s Saint Maud, an absolute find at TIFF, in 2019, which is finally getting recognition in the UK, and was just released in the US.

In writer-director Karen Cinorre’s visually enthralling, stunning debut, Mayday, it’s a semi-Hobbesian “war of all against all,” except the first “all” and the second “all” fall strictly along gender lines, pitting semi-suspecting men, some all-too-eager to play the heroes in their own mind, against a tight-knit group of young women, ferociously skilled fighters one and all, just as eager to prove they don’t need or want men to save them. That most of Mayday is set not in our socially, politically, and culturally stratified world, but in an oneiric, upside-down Oz crossed with Lord of the Flies where a never-ending war resembling World War II rages in and around a sun-drenched coastline. Spoiler: The men don’t stand...

“Mayday,” which took its first European bow at the Rotterdam Film Festival this week after premiering at Sundance, is the debut feature of U.S. writer/director Karen Cinorre.
The film tells the tale of oppressed young waitress Ana working at a wedding, who falls through an oven into a female-dominated utopia.
The character then joins group of seemingly like-minded soldiers who are involved in a Siren-like mission to lure male soldiers to their deaths via fake mayday calls.
The feature is one of a number of films vying for this year’s Tiger Award at Rotterdam exploring female self-realization and shares similar revenge fantasy themes to fellow Sundance breakout, Emma Fennell’s “Promising Young Woman.”
While Cinorre’s original script for the film pre-dates both the #MeToo and “Time’s Up” movements, she remains hopeful that these events have created “a new openness” that has meant films like hers are more likely to get made.
The film tells the tale of oppressed young waitress Ana working at a wedding, who falls through an oven into a female-dominated utopia.
The character then joins group of seemingly like-minded soldiers who are involved in a Siren-like mission to lure male soldiers to their deaths via fake mayday calls.

“Fearless” filmmakers are forging a path to get international production back on its feet, according to a panel of Tiger Competition directors at International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR).
“I don’t think [the pandemic] will affect it at all – I think we’re going to be reaching out across the seas forever,” said US director Karen Cinorre, whose debut feature Mayday received its international premiere at IFFR following its worldwide launch at Sundance. “And I don’t see it stopping films today.

Like the Sirens of Greek mythology dolled up in Wes Anderson-esque Girl Scout uniforms, the four young women in Karen Cinorre’s stylish yet surface-level feminist fantasy “Mayday” lure off-screen soldiers to their deaths with invented pleas for help. “They can’t resist a lady in distress,” says Marsha (Mia Goth), coaching newcomer Ana (Grace Van Patten) on how to craft an enticing Sos call. “They like their girls softer, with less authority.”
Debuting at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, “Mayday” joins recent female-revenge fantasies “Promising Young Woman” and “Assassination Nation” in imagining a scenario where women are mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore. Like those films, it’s simultaneously exhilarating and confused, in part because the patriarchy is too big a Goliath to be crippled by a single strident slingshot, no matter how accurate its aim. Still, it’s a thrill to see young filmmakers raging against the status quo,...

Mayday, mayday! It's time to fight the patriarchy! One of my favorite premieres from the 2021 Sundance Film Festival is this gritty war film Mayday, written & directed by filmmaker Karen Cinorre making her feature directorial debut. There are many, many films being made these days about fighting the patriarchy and the power of modern feminism. There are also plenty of films telling stories about women fighting back against abusive men and pushing back against oppressive societies. But few films, few conversations ever, dare to wade into the discussion on toxic feminism. But this film finally does. Mayday is a compelling sci-fi fantasy thriller set in "another place" where a group of women are fighting a never-ending war against men. All men. Soldiers and others that randomly appear in their paradise are swiftly & mercilessly killed. But this film isn't really glorifying violence, it's examining how feminists fight back (literally) against the patriarchy.

Female trauma’s been given a serious workout in cinema, liberally exercised in the fantasy genre of late. The celebrated “Promising Young Woman,” while dark satire, uses hot pink revenge fantasy to acerbically explore unresolved trauma (its we live in a society bias nicely unpacked here), and fellow Sundance film, “The Blazing World,” attempts to fall down the rabbit hole of make-believe and similar flight-or-flight responses to emotional scars, only to grotesquely exploit it with its awkward tumble.

Ana (Grace Van Patten), a lowly hotel worker, finds herself transported to another world where a war is raging and a clutch of young women lure men to their deaths at sea via radio transmissions, like 20th century sirens, in Mayday, a U.S. Dramatic Competition entry at this year’s Sundance.
Like several other intriguing, Gothic-tinged but quite bonkers female-centric fantastical features made by upcoming women directors recently (see, for instance, Amanda Kramer’s Ladyworld, Alice Waddington’s Paradise Hills or, the mama of them all, Lucile Hadzihalilovic’s Innocence), first-time writer-director Karen Cinorre’s Mayday is less interested in logic than creating a ...
