Walt Disney’s Q2 2018 earnings on Tuesday smashed Wall Street expectations and confirmed what film-goers already knew: Marvel’s “Black Panther” was a massive, hulking winner for the Mouse House. The movie has now generated more than $1.3 billion at the box office, driving profits for Disney’s Studio Entertainment division up 29% to $847 million.
But there was a dark cloud in Disney’s film business in the quarter: “A Wrinkle in Time.” As Disney’s earnings release states, “The increase in theatr
King T'Challa is still on his throne. "Black Panther" opened five weeks ago, and it's come in No. 1 at the box office for all five of those weeks. That makes the Marvel superhero movie the first film to do so since "Avatar" in 2009.
Ticket sales over the weekend earned the blockbuster film $27 million more, according to studio estimates. "Black Panther" has grossed more than $605.4 million domestically and more than $1.1 billion worldwide. Watch that domestic total of $605.4 million -- if "Bla
Now that A Wrinkle in Time has premiered in theaters, fans are getting to see director Ava DuVernay’s take on the classic young adult novel.
And though the film might be competing in the box office against Black Panther, the two directors are nothing but supportive of each other. Marvel Studios director Ryan Coogler penned a heartfelt tribute to DuVernay that was recently published on ESPNW, championing his friend’s accomplishments.

While L’Engle considered herself a devout Christian and sprinkled the book with scriptural references, she was accused
You’ve heard the buzz: A Wrinkle in Time, based on the classic children’s book by Madeleine L’Engle (1918–2007), hits theaters this week as a $100 million Disney movie.
A lot more than money is riding on the film’s success. Not only is the sci-fi novel beloved by millions of readers—since winning the 1963 Newbery Medal, it has sold upwards of 16 million copies—but its author was one of the most adored writers of Christian faith in recent history.
As I’ve learned while writing her spiritual bi
A teenager raised $20,000 in the hopes of helping to send hundreds of girls to the upcoming science fiction film “A Wrinkle in Time,” according to the fundraising website GoFundMe.
Taylor Richardson, 14, is no stranger to fundraising for a good cause. At age 9, she raised enough money to send herself to space camp and moved a step closer to her dream of a career in the field of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). She also raised more than $18,000 and hosted multiple scr
When “Black Panther” made its record-smashing $201 million start last month, it was expected to easily keep the No. 1 spot at the box office until Disney released its next film, Ava DuVernay’s “A Wrinkle in Time.” But as Madeleine L’Engle’s famous science fantasy adaptation gets ready to enter theaters on 3,980 screens this weekend, that expectation may have been premature.
