In three weekends, Greta Gerwig‘s “Barbie” squares off against Christopher Nolan‘s “Oppenheimer” for this summer’s big box-office battle. So which film will walk away victorious?

revealed as DC’s new Superman and Lois Lane on Tuesday, it was hard to get revved up about the news.That’s not to diss the casting for 2025’s “Superman: Legacy.” Corenswet, the 29-year-old freshly minted Clark Kent, appropriately looks like a younger version ofhis predecessor Henry Cavill and was charismatic on the Netflix series “Hollywood” and “The Politician.” And 32-year-old Brosnahan, the lovable star of Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” is ideal as his Daily Planet counterpart.I’m sure they’ll do fine.But the casting change-up didn’t come across as a major victory for Warner Bros.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Warner Bros. Discovery raised the hackles of some in the film community with last month’s launch of Max — the reskinned and renamed version of HBO Max — because the new service’s content details pages consolidated writers, directors, producers and others under a single “creators” heading. Five weeks after issuing a mea culpa and promising to fix the situation, WBD has now updated the listings in Max. The updates appear to be live on platforms including the max.com website and iOS and will be rolling out across all device platforms this week. For example, on Max, Oscar-winning film “Raging Bull,” starring Robert De Niro, now includes the following listings: Directors: Martin Scorsese; Writers: Paul Schrader, Mardik Martin; Producers: Irwin Winkler, Robert Chartoff; Based on Source Material by: Jake La Motta, Joseph Carter, Peter Savage. When Max launched on May 23, the service grouped all of those individuals under a single “creators” heading.

During the ending credits at the conclusion of the episode, the very last name to appear on-screen was Fleiss’ accompanied by the words “created by.” Unlike past seasons, Fleiss was not credited as an “executive producer” and his production company, Next Entertainment, was not listed.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter In another universe, “The Flash,” once touted by its own studio as “one of the greatest superhero movies of all time,” would be towering over the box office with ease in its second weekend of release. But in this universe, audiences are flat-out rejecting the Warner Bros. movie, starring Ezra Miller as the eponymous, timeline-spanning speedster. Rather than taking a victory lap, the comic book adventure is cratering in third place with $15.3 million from 4,265 North American theaters, marking a brutal 73% decline from its unimpressive $55 million debut. That’s a far bigger drop than recent DC adaptations, including “Black Adam” (59%) and “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” (69%), which ended up as huge money losers for the studio.
