Theaters are in a slump longer than they should be. The last five weekends averaged about $70 million total, while in 2019, the same five weekends with lower ticket prices averaged $190 million. That means success in VOD revenue is all that more important for studios. Even so, on the two top 10 lists from iTunes (ranking by transactions) and Fandango (by revenue), half the slots are taken by companies other than the usual top five.
Results overall reflect the cutback in releases due to last year’s strikes, some longer windows for bigger-grossing studio releases, and, in most cases, a weaker response to other films that made little theatrical impact. All that made it easy for “Dune: Part Two” (Warner Bros.), by far the year’s biggest hit, to repeat as #1 on both charts for the third week. And that’s with a higher price than usual.

I’ll never think about coyotes the same way again.
That was a big takeaway from the silly, weird first night of John Mulaney’s multi-night Netflix special, “Everybody’s in LA.” The week-long residency/miniseries/experiment was ostensibly created as additional promo for Netflix’s own Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival in Los Angeles, which is going on right now. Thirty+ comedians are in town with something to promote — why not take advantage of it by giving Mulaney an hour to chat up his friends, the thinking goes, while Netflix continues to play around with live programming?
Based on the first episode, which aired May 1 (additional episodes will air May 6 through 10), the program has the feel of a late-night public access show (complimentary). After kicking things off with an opening monologue full of great LA jokes — “The city was officially founded in 1842 as a place for improv students...

Bill Maher says he’s ready to put down the mic—at least when it comes to standup
Sitting down with Jerry Seinfeld on the latest episode of Maher’s Club Random podcast, the long-time host of HBO’s Real Time revealed that he’s planning to wind down his standup career.
“I feel nervous about telling you. I feel like you’re the confessor to this,” Maher told Seinfeld, “but after this year, I’m going to stop doing [standup].”
Maher was quick to give himself an out. “I could go back. I don’t want to make, like, a big announcement or something,” he cautioned. “I mean, I’m doing a special at the end of the year. It’ll be my 13th for HBO. That’s a lot.”
Seinfeld seemed surprised by the news, but would ultimately tell Maher the idea was “not crazy” after hearing the full reasoning.

This post contains spoilers for "Unfrosted."
As you might expect from its subject matter, Jerry Seinfeld's "Unfrosted," a film about the creation of the Pop-Tart, is an extremely silly comedy. It's also (very loosely) based on the real-world rivalry between Kellogg's and Post, and since the film chronicles the creation of a new product from a major company in the 1960s, the movie also contains a scene in which Don Draper and Roger Sterling from AMC's "Mad Men" drop by to pitch an advertising campaign for what would eventually be named the Pop-Tart. Yes, after dropping the mic in one of the most famous series finales of this century when "Mad Men" ended in 2015, actors Jon Hamm and John Slattery returned to reprise their most memorable roles in a goofy Netflix comedy.
Jon Hamm and John Slattery are the Ad Men. Watch the entire unbelievable Mad Men reunion in Unfrosted.

Jerry Seinfeld made a memorable return to Saturday Night Live on its recent episode, joining the iconic “Weekend Update” segment. Introduced humorously by Colin Jost as “A Man Who Did Too Much Press,” Seinfeld, appearing slightly worn from his numerous media appearances for his Netflix project ‘Unfrosted’, shared a laugh-filled yet insightful advice session about managing press engagements, particularly aimed at actor Ryan Gosling. Jerry Seinfeld’s comedic entrance and poignant advice “Where am I exactly?” Seinfeld quipped at the beginning, pretending to be disoriented.

Despite The Fall Guy’s underwhelming box office reception, Ryan Gosling remains hopeful for a potential sequel. The action comedy film, which has been described as a homage to stuntmen in Hollywood, has been struggling to meet the box office expectations with a $28.5 million opening.

The box office debut verdict of Ryan Gosling’s The Fall Guy is out and it does not paint a great picture for the action-comedy film. While the viewers and critics have given their thumbs up to the film, the film only made $28.5 million in its domestic opening and its $140 million budget poses a big trouble. It may even impede the chances of a sequel, which Gosling revealed to be already in the books.
Ryan Gosling’s The Fall Guy has a disappointing debut at the box office
The whole situation with The Fall Guy weirdly seems similar to another Gosling film that audiences loved but failed at the box office. The Nice Guys, also starring Russell Crowe, was supposed to get a sequel but it never happened due to its poor collection.

One day after the release of her third studio album, Radical Optimism, Dua Lipa pulled double duty as host and musical guest of Saturday Night Live. Though her overall screen time constituted over 36% of the May 4 episode, her specific sketch time of less than 16 minutes is the lowest for a Season 49 host so far.

Movies these days are more of a production than a simple story led by a cast. If there is no pomp and circus around it, chances are, it won’t do much business. Even with some really popular names attached to projects, sometimes that is not enough. And Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt starrer The Fall Guy is a prime example of that.

Hugh Grant was one of the quintessential rom-com leading men of the 90s among the likes of Richard Gere and Leonardo DiCaprio. He was a popular heartthrob who managed to impress fans with his natural charm and his nonchalant humor. His roles in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones’ Diary, and Love Actually made audiences swoon in the 90s and early 2000s.
Hugh Grant as William Thacker in Notting Hill
Another one of Grant’s popular films was 2002’s Two Weeks Notice where he was paired with Sandra Bullock. The duo had met five years prior and they had discussed working together. But Grant made a pretty bad impression on Bullock by narrating what he calls a ‘disgusting story’, which led to Grant not hearing from the actress for over 3 years.

For director, co-writer and star Jerry Seinfeld, “Unfrosted” was an opportunity to bring something a little less serious to the entertainment zeitgeist. A humorless life without the ability to make fun of ourselves, he postured, doesn’t make for “good living.”
“Don’t give up laughing and humor and comedy in your life. It’s the best way to get through life,” Seinfeld said. “We all want to not hurt each other’s feelings. But if we go too far, and nobody can make fun of anybody, that’s not good living.”
“Unfrosted” is a fictionalized account of the creation of the Kellogg’s staple Pop-Tarts. The plot takes a “space race” approach, with Post Cereal as the other heavyweight in the fight to be the first to craft the toasted pastry treat.
It costars a kaleidoscope of Hollywood funny people, including Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, Jim Gaffigan, Hugh Grant,...

A surreal comedy about a company’s game-changing product is a description that can be used to describe both Unfrosted and Barbie. The former marks the directorial debut of comedian Jerry Seinfeld while the latter is one of the biggest commercial hits of 2023. As a result, Unfrosted should have borrowed some elements from Barbie, at least on paper.
Jerry Seinfeld’s Unfrosted has a premise similar to Barbie.
However, according to Jerry Seinfeld, he cautiously steered away from the blueprint set by Barbie, to make his film different. Seinfeld’s words have seemingly come back to haunt him, as fans are criticizing his remark about Barbie, in light of the recent poor critical reception of Unfrosted.

Jerry Seinfeld joined “Saturday Night Live’s” Weekend Update to make fun of his press tour for his Netflix movie, “Unfrosted,” which chronicles the origin story of the Pop-Tart.
Colin Jost introduced Seinfeld as a “man who did too much press” for his Netflix movie, which also marked Seinfeld’s directorial debut. When Seinfeld joined the show, he pretended to be unsure of where he was.
“Where am I exactly? Is this a podcast?” he asked Jost.
Jost explained to Seinfeld he’s live on “SNL” and has seen him doing promo for his Netflix movie “everywhere.” When asked how much press is too much, Seinfeld replied, “You don’t know until someone who cares about you shows you a video package and you see yourself with people with these names like Hoda, Mo Rocca, Chanel, Vlad.”

The Seinfeld star has been on a press tour promoting his Netflix movie Unfrosted, which he directed and stars in.

“I like Rich Eisen, I find him accessible,” the comedian said.

Saturday Night Live‘s latest cold open centered on Columbia University’s handling of the pro-Palestinian protests on campus amid the Israel–Hamas war.
During the sketch, Mikey Day, Kenan Thompson and Heidi Gardner played concerned parents of students participating in the protests.
Last week, hundreds of demonstrators were arrested after the school’s president called the New York Police Department to help restore order on campus. Police cleared the university’s Hamilton Hall after protesters occupied the administration building earlier in the day.
After being asked their thoughts on the protests, Gardner initially responded, “It’s been tough. Now, I’m all for free speech, but I don’t understand what they think they’re accomplishing and that’s really putting a strain on me and my daughter’s relationship.”
Thompson later shared his thoughts: “Nothing makes me prouder than young people using their voices to fight for what they believe in.

Unfrosted’s Underwhelming Reception Jerry Seinfeld’s directorial debut, Unfrosted, has not received the warm reception he might have hoped for as it premiered on Netflix. Known for his dissecting observational comedy, Seinfeld ventured into the world of feature films with a topic as whimsical as the invention of the Pop-Tart. Despite his comedic prowess, the translation to a narrative film has, according to critics, missed the mark significantly. Critical Voices and Public Disappointment Drawing upon a scathing review from Chicago Sun Times’ Richard Roeper who found Unfrosted to be lacking in every department, described it as one of the decade’s worst

However, his latest venture into film direction with Unfrosted has unfortunately not replicated the success of his past endeavors. Jerry Seinfeld on Pop-Tarts My first memory of Pop-Tarts is, once I tasted it, I assumed they would not continue to make other types of food, recalls Jerry Seinfeld in a moment of lighthearted jest. Yet, this playful nostalgia does not save the film from its critical panning. The Critical Reception The comedic attempt

[This story includes spoilers for the Netflix movie Unfrosted.]
The buzz around Unfrosted is heating up, with Jerry Seinfeld’s heavily fictionalized Pop-Tart origin story now streaming on Netflix.
Seinfeld, who stars in the comedy movie that marks his feature directorial debut, also co-wrote the project’s screenplay. Contributing to the script was Spike Feresten, who worked with Seinfeld on the legendary NBC sitcom Seinfeld, with Feresten having penned one of the show’s most beloved and quotable episodes, “The Soup Nazi.”
During a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Feresten discussed some of the most memorable moments for the film that is set in 1963. This includes a plot point involving the Kellogg’s cereal mascots boycotting the company out of concern that the Pop-Tart will make them irrelevant, which leads to a sequence in which the mascots storm the company’s offices à la the attack on the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.

There’s a moment in the first episode of Everybody’s in L.A., John Mulaney’s delightfully chaotic live Netflix special, in which Mulaney asks special guest Jerry Seinfeld why he decided to make his Pop-Tarts origin movie Unfrosted (which was released on — you guessed it — Netflix the same day Mulaney’s special aired, because there’s nothing more on-brand for a special about Los Angeles culture than cross-promotional synergy) .
“I don’t know. Because they let me,” Seinfeld responds, referring to Netflix. “Probably the same reason why you’re doing this.

Unfrosted Marks Eleanor Sweeney's Film Debut
Unfrosted on Netflix follows the story between "sworn cereal rivals" Kellogg's and Post, whose race to create pastry "will change the face of breakfast forever."
The ensemble cast includes Jerry Seinfeld as Bob Cabana, the head of development at Kellogg's, Melissa McCarthy as Donna "Stan" Stankowski, the wunderkind technician to make Pop-Tarts come to reality, and Hugh Grant's Thurl Ravenscroft as Tony the Tiger mascot at Kellogg's, to mention a few.

Los Angeles is not the first city fans would associate with comedian John Mulaney. That would be Chicago, his hometown and the backdrop to innumerable childhood anecdotes in his stand-up act, or New York, where he broke out as a writer on “Saturday Night Live” and shot a special at Radio City Music Hall. But L.A. is where Mulaney now lives; it’s also currently home to the second iteration of Netflix Is a Joke, a massive, weeklong comedy festival organized by the streaming service as a show of genre dominance. (Netflix stand-up head Robbie Praw used to run programming at Montreal’s vaunted Just for Laughs event and has essentially created a West Coast version.) And so we have “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA,” a weeklong special event combining studio segments, pre-taped sketches and man-on-the-street interviews into a sort of pop-up talk show.

“The Fall Guy” is swinging into theaters this weekend, as are the indie masterpieces “I Saw the TV Glow” and “Evil Does Not Exist.” Fortunately, a handful of fun and intriguing titles are also hitting digital platforms, including a dynamic documentary about a rock ‘n’ roll linchpin.
The contender to watch this week: “Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg”
No, this isn’t a “Hunger Games” sequel. Anita Pallenberg was an actress, a New York It Girl, and a denizen of Andy Warhol’s Factory, but she is best known as an associate of the Rolling Stones. She dated founder Brian Jones and, later, guitarist Keith Richards, with whom she had three children. Some people have called her the band’s muse. Pallenberg’s life was not always as glamorous as it sounds, though, and directors Alexis Bloom and Svetlana Zill mine her highs and lows for a compelling...

Unfrosted might not be fully accurate in its portrayal of the race to create the first toaster pastry, but it does capture an essential truth: The more specific nostalgia is, the more universal its appeal. Which is why Unfrosted’s director, co-writer, and star Jerry Seinfeld’s personal passion for the Pop-Tart can be seen through the lens of a subversive yet somehow sweet look back at the ’60s, a time when kids roamed free (and right into dumpsters) and Shakespearean actors moonlighted as cereal mascots.
About that — the mascot in question is Tony the Tiger, and the real-life actor who voiced him was named Thurl Ravenscroft. And while, no, he was not a thespian who specialized in the Bard’s work, that’s the spin the Hugh Grant has put on the character in Unfrosted, to great effect. Below, Grant talks to Tudum about playing a “frustrated old actor,...

[Editor’s note: The following interview contains spoilers for “Unfrosted.”]
The Pop-Tarts were heated up and soon to pop — if Kellogg’s only had a name for its new toaster treat. For that, Jerry Seinfeld went to the best 1960s ad men he, or anyone, could find: Don Draper (Jon Hamm) and Roger Sterling (John Slattery) of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce — and of AMC’s “Mad Men.”
Who would have thought that Netflix’s “Unfrosted” — a Pop-Tarts faux origin story — would be what got those two back in their single-vented suits? A fantastical (and fantastic) cinematic universe was created, almost by accident. Here’s the not-fake origin story of the film-stealing scene.
“We would take breaks when we were writing this movie and watch ‘Mad Men’ scenes,” the film’s cowriter Spike Feresten told IndieWire. “Jerry had just rewatched the entire [series] again and said, ‘You’ve gotta see this scene.’ And it would play in our meetings like a comedy.

Jerry Seinfeld Takes a Humorous Jab at Friends In an amusing turn during the promotion of his new film Unfrosted, famed comedian Jerry Seinfeld delivered a light-hearted critique of the beloved sitcom Friends, quipping about its creative inspirations. Seinfeld, who catapulted to fame with his eponymous show, a sitcom widely celebrated for its unique take on the minutiae of daily life, is no stranger to seeing elements of his show woven into the fabric of other series. The pivot of conversation came when the (fictional) president of Pop-Tarts, Kelman P. Gasworth, confronted Seinfeld about an alleged trademark infringement during a

The landscape of comedic film is forever evolving, often prompting real-life manifestations that delight and surprise. But perhaps one of the most unexpected outcomes recently is linked to Jerry Seinfeld‘s latest streaming venture, Unfrosted. Set in 1963 Michigan, this cinematic piece humorously chronicles the intense rivalry between Kellogg’s and Post as they rush to develop a new breakfast sensation, ultimately leading to the birth of the Pop-Tart. A Comedic Inspiration with Tangible Outcomes The effect of pop culture phenomena on consumer behavior isn’t novel, but rarely does it circle back so interestingly to its source material.

Behind the Scenes of a Legendary TV Moment One of the most iconic scenes in television history from Seinfeld’s ‘The Marine Biologist’ episode was a product of serendipity and sheer talent. The scene, where George Costanza, played by Jason Alexander, admits that a golf ball he ‘found’ had been lodged in a whale’s blowhole, was almost never scripted. Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David concocted this twist merely hours before the shoot. We hand Jason, who’s an effing genius, that speech. How long is that speech? It’s a page, two pages. This is TV, Ok?…Memorize it., Seinfeld explained in an interview,

Los Angeles, California – April 30: Jerry Seinfeld attends Netflix’s “Unfrosted” premiere at The Egyptian Theatre on April 30, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Charley Gallay/Getty Images for Netflix) Copyright 2024 Getty Image Unfrosted is, in many ways, a passion project for Jerry Seinfeld. Not only does he star in the film — a comedy that light-heartedly looks at the creation of Pop-Tarts toaster pastries — but he also co-wrote it, produced it, and made it his first film as a director. For fans of Seinfeld, it’s not terribly surprising — after all, the show Seinfeld regularly displayed the comedian’s obsession with cereal and breakfast foods. For Seinfeld, though, it wasn’t just an opportunity to focus on one of his favorite foods — as a storyteller, he was excited to make a movie set in the early ’60s, the era in which he grew up.

Jerry Seinfeld is having an odd time lately.
Fans and critics really enjoyed his appearance in HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm series finale — which creator Larry David used to both comment on, and improve upon, the much-maligned Seinfeld closer. But this week, the 70-year-old comedy legend was slammed on social media for a recent interview where he declared “the extreme left” has hurt the comedy industry. Now here comes his new Netflix movie which is getting a sharply divided reaction from critics and overall a pretty low average score.
Seinfeld’s Unfrosted (trailer below) is a zany star-filled comedy that tells the story of rival cereal companies, Kellogg’s and Post, “racing to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast forever”— Pop-Tarts. Seinfeld stars in, co-wrote and directed the film, which also stars Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Hugh Grant, Amy Schumer, Max Greenfield, Christian Slater, Sarah Cooper and Bill Burr.

Perhaps, like Jerry Seinfeld, you too have spent hours wondering: What’s the deal with Pop Tarts?! Is it a breakfast item or just undercover dessert? How do they get all that delicious fruity goo inside the tiny squares? Is there a goo gun? Who came up with the idea of putting “docker holes” on the top to keep the toaster steam out? Was it Bob from Engineering? And why the frosting, people? Was there not enough sugar already in there already? I wanna know!

Jerry Seinfeld Critiques the State of the Film Industry Jerry Seinfeld, the movie business is over, resounds through the corridors of pop culture with a quizzical melancholy. Known for dissecting everyday minutiae with razor-sharp wit, Seinfeld’s declaration offers a stark examination of an industry he believes is hollowing out in cultural relevance and audience engagement. His recent switch to directing highlights his versatility but also comes at a time when he introspectively challenges the current status quo of filmmaking. This revelation echoed during interviews and was firmly iterated in his discussion about the state of film and television. Through his

Plot: Michigan, 1963. Kellogg’s and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast. A tale of ambition, betrayal, sugar, and menacing milkmen, Unfrosted stars Jerry Seinfeld in his directorial debut.
Review: It took nine years after the series finale of Seinfeld for Jerry Seinfeld’s big screen debut, Bee Movie. That surreal, animated adventure was a spot-on continuation of the stand-up comedian’s brand of observational humor told within the context of a strangely specific world. Unfrosted, which reunited Seinfeld with his team of writers from Bee Movie, is another glimpse into a surreal world that allows him to explore his distinct type of comedy with an all-star cast of talent playing real and fictional characters. Boasting glossy, retro visuals and capitalizing on Seinfeld’s well-known love of breakfast, Unfrosted looks like it was fun to make. I only wish it was as much fun to watch.
