Oscar Winner Emma Stone Cracked Deal With Disney To Star In 'Cruella' Sequel

Los Angeles, August 14, 2021: Amid the criticism of its theatrical - Disney+ Premier model, Disney has been able to crack a deal with Oscar winner, Emma Stone to return to star in the sequel to crime comedy film "Cruella", based on the character Cruella de Vil from Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians. ## Due to the covid-19 pandemic, Disney opted for a two-way release on theaters and on Disney+ PVOD tier for some of its releases including "Cruella", which debuted on May 26 this year. The movie earned more than $222 million in worldwide ticket sales, making it a fruitful outing for Disney. Stone joins returning director Craig Gillespie and returning writer Tony McNamara in the sequel ## Earlier, Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson filed a lawsuit against Disney over its hybrid release model, alleging that it has breached her contract which reportadly promised an exclusive theatrical release of her films. After Johansson's lawsuit, there were speculations that Emma Stone might also take the same route over Cruella's release, however, that hasn't happened yet. ## Dwayne Johnson, however, supported Disney for its release model during the pandemic for his action-adventure film, Jungle Cruise, which debuted on July 30. The film has so far grossed $73.1M domestic, $201M+ worldwide, and $50M in estimated Disney+ Premier global PVOD monies, good for a current estimated global haul of $251M+. ## Meanwhile, Cruella 2 is still in the pre-production stage, and it's not certain yet whether the movie will be an outright theatrical release or like its predecessor released simultaneously in homes. Disney, however, recently confirmed that it will release its upcoming movies, including Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, exclusively in theaters for a 45-days window. ## Stay tuned...

Ammy Virk And Sonam Bajwa Starrer 'Puaada' Brings Audience Back To Theaters

Chandigarh, August 13, 2021: The first big Punjabi movie in one and a half years, Puaada starring Ammy Virk and Sonam Bajwa takes a good start at the box office upon its release on August 12. The rom-com hasn't got a wider release due to restrictions but it has done well to bring the audience to the theaters. ## The film has been released in around 75 theatres only when normally it would be around 175 in East Punjab. With the help of decent buzz before its release, the movie sold around 2800 tickets to PVR cinemas before its release which is on par with the 2020 Punjabi release, Sufna. Sufna also had sold 2800 tickets in PVR before release. ## Puaada saw good footfalls on day 1 even without three key properties including the highest collecting cinema for Punjabi films PVR Mohali and also no night shows in Delhi or Chandigarh. After seeing the good response on the first day, more and more shows and theaters are expected to come into play in the coming days. ## There were some multiplexes that recorded around 100 audience counts in the morning shows while single screens and non-national multiplex chains were even better as they recorded audience counts of 200 and even full houses. The collection of the movie is expected to remain low due to limited release in the first couple of days but it should pick up the pace over the weekend as more theaters and shows will be added. ## Irrespective of what will be the collection of Puaada, the audience is coming to theaters which is a good sign and a big boost to upcoming Hindi films. The things are improving with each passing day and it is a matter of time when movies start performing as pre-covid era or close to it at the box office. ## Stay tuned...

The fans of Yash are eager to watch this magnum opus on the big screen and their wait is getting longer, all because of the covid-19 pandemic. Despite the delay in release, the movie is creating the right amount of buzz, and it has been building up with each passing day. ## While the covid-19 situation is easing up across the country, the fact that still haunts everyone is the announcement of the KGF Chapter 2 final release date. Makers, however, had already reiterated that the sequel to the 2018 movie won't budge from its theatrical release, despite the warning of a possible third covid-19 wave. ## Meanwhile, the streaming platforms are keeping their eyes on this biggie and are offering tempting amounts to the makers for the direct-to-digital release of the movie. According to the latest reports, Amazon Prime Video had offered a huge sum of Rs. 255 crores for the digital premiere of KGF2, but the makers turned down the offer to stick to their theatrical release plan. ## There is no doubt that the amount which was reportadly offered to the makers is huge enough to grab the gold, but considering the Pan-India demand of the movie, the makers have done the right thing by not accepting this. According to the trade buzz, KGF: Chapter 2 may earn Rs. 600-700 crores in theaters, and to make that happen, makers won't be shy to delay the release. ## Earlier the Rocking Star Yash said, "No matter how long we have to wait we will wait to release KGF 2 in theatres only. If the audience can wait, so can we". ## KGF: Chapter 2 is a period action film, directed by Prasanth Neel and produced by Vijay Kiragandur under the banner Hombale Films. It is the most expensive Kannada film with a budget of ₹100 crores. It boosts with a solid cast including Yash, Sanjay Dutt, Srinidhi Shetty, Raveena Tandon, and Prakash Raj. ## Stay tuned...
